The trouble with this thread is that it may be just to close to the truth. The ancient saying "pride comes before a fall" seems appropriate. I just hope no one gets hurt, not even Donald.

Re: Poll : Where will Donald Trump start World War 3?
I feel that DT has already possibly started WW3. He's managed to piss-off the Soviets... sorry, Russians, and some other Soviets, the N.Koreans. All it will take is another US strike (however justified) against Syria, for their Russian allies to target the US Mediterranean fleet, and we have potential Armageddon.
Understand... I'm not a fan of Assad, gassing ones locals, or waging war on anyone that disagrees with or challenges ones preferences. But I'm also not a fan of bringing the world to the edge of destruction. The Russians are a civilized people so are less likely to push a button. The Koreans however are a different animal and (to my mind) might just push the button to prove a point. They have no respect for themselves or anyone else.. or life itself.

It would be like dog biting an elephants leg. The soviet forces are just not up to it, they will be wiped out. All they have to make anyone scared is their nuclear arsenal.

Re: Poll : Where will Donald Trump start World War 3?
Remember WW2. They crushed the Nazis. It has as much to do with financial strength as military might. Bluntly, anyone not afraid of war wants to think again and look at Africa. Pain and suffering is rife where folks fight each other. I lived through the Troubles in N Ireland. It's no fun.Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote:It would be like dog biting an elephants leg.

Yes agreed Soviet forces made a huge contribution to victory in Europe and the Warsaw pact was far larger than Nato in the 80s and there conventional forces can never be underestimated but now Nuclear weapons are the prime threat but I remain optimistic that sense will hopefully always prevail and this is the usual media flim flamTheMadMick wrote:Remember WW2.

Someone get a message through to Captain Snort
That they’d better start assembling the boys from the fort
And keep Mrs Honeyman right out of sight
‘Cos there’s gonna be a riot down in Trumpton tonight

I think Korea; Syria would drag Russia in and no-one wants that. While China have been broadly supportive of the North Korean regime, they are also pragmatic.

Phil Ochs wrote this 50 years ago, about Vietnam. I think that all this time later it still has relevance...
