China going to attack Taiwan.

Any other middle eastern countries have some crazy shit happen.

China pushes too hard in Africa.

Russia invades another country.

Belarus invades a country.

Poland says fuck it and joins Ukraine.

 

Lots of viable options. WW3 is coming and the lines have long been drawn.

Back in 2015-2016 it was feeling that way as well. Crazy how they all said it would be trump to start WW3. Even crazier is how this feels like 1990-94 and 2001-2016 all over again. I can only comment on those years as those are years I can remember or knew about in a non historical sense.

Would anyone want to live through it?  My guess would be if you were to peel away all the layers of what's been happening lately.  You'd probably find that China has influenced most of it.  Why does it seem we must have our weapons, our energy, our funding tied into all these conflicts.  China is an agitator, that is promoting a war of attrition on the U.S.  Once, and if we ever get to the point of having to defend our own country, there'll be nothing left to defend it with.

Well...I'm 65.  I haven't seen everything but I've seen some and studied a lot of history.  That old saying about forgetting history means you're doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past is as true now as it ever was.  

We have ALWAYS been one decision or incident away from catastrophe since time began.  WW1 was when war became global and it's only gotten worse since then.

Unless you have super powers then like the rest of us...just get on with your day.  If you can't fix it then just be the best dad, husband, son, man you can be.  Sounds defeatist but put your effort where it can help others.

complete brain fart on my part not mentioning China.

China/Russia/Iran/Saudi Arabia/Venezuela/Cuba vs us and who?

you see crowds cheering for Hamas in European cities. which way will that ball bounce?

Like America, they are infested with people with no allegiance.

What about India? they will not even honor an embargo against Russian oil.

much of South America is a question.

Africa is up for grabs as far as alliances, and China is pretty involved in a lot of areas locking up rare earth supplies.

Meanwhile, we produce very little steel, very little aluminum, even after huge government boon doggles, very few microchips.

In the pandemic we couldn't even make enough PPE, masks, or toilet paper.

Right now, our fearless leaders can't even vote on condemning Hamas for this weekend.

R's and D;s are all equally corrupt, incompetent, and unable to do their jobs.

and we have a president that nobody in the rest of the world takes seriously.

the trauma of some 21 and unders not being able to look at their phones half the day.......

Russia, China, NK, Iran and all the other crazy bastards...it's only a matter of time.

The focus shifted from Ukraine to Israel real quick.  There are almost zero Ukraine/Russia stories on CNN or Fox right now.

We told Serbia to get there military out of Kosovo now last week.  The Serbian pres let thousands of Albanians into there country in the 70,s. Everything was ok until some Albanians formed a terorist group & started ethnic cleansing. Serbian pres order the military to stop them. Our diplomat said you’re not stopping it etc . Serbian pres sent the military to Kosovo. We bombed them no military made it there. Then we gave them a 78 day humiliation bombing of schools, nursing homes, places where people gathered,natl monuments ,etc. My 2nd to last co my dispatcher lived in Serbia. A super cool guy  he,s actually an attorney but they don’t make nothing. He was 9 in 99 when we bombed them. I felt with quite a few people living in Serbia . They still Love America. Usually they comment on a rap video they saw. And say oh man I have to see that some day. The actually very cool. My last co my Elog gal lives in Lithuania so unique & extremely gorgeous. The other women were the same. We got along great.  I researched there country. The citizens are buying guns like crazy. In fear of a Russian attack.  It’s crazy all ovr the world.

Don't start the Trump shit up all over again.

Other than the one asshat in the Israel thread, this place has been, relatively, civil.

Easy junior, I'm on your side of the fence.

Just sayin' don't pull the strings of the usual jerk off's here with that trolling comment.

Especially when it doesn't exactly belong in this thread.

 

The decisions, or lack thereof, being carried out right now have nothing to do with him.

Yep.

Engaged in a foreign war in Europe. 

Getting ready to be tied down in the middle east, again.

(Watch as the price per barrel of oil skyrockets.

At the same time, all but fully depleting our strategic oil reserves.)

And we're on the fringes of shit breaking out inside our own nation.

Allowing anyone, and anything, to flood in across our southern border. 

Then every chance he gets, he demonizes 50% of the legal citizens of this country. 

Not good.

 

All thanks to the current administration, and the ones controlling his strings.
