People have believed in MAD and so far it has worked. It has worked only because we had sane leaders in both countries. There is no guarantee that will last.
Again it would be suicide for either the U.S. or Russia if one sidee started a nuclear war....That does apply to North Korea, Iran orr some terrorist group........That is the scary part.
Conspiracy theorists are the ultimate evil conspiracy.Ten posters actually believe we're poised on the cusp of WW3?
Wow.
What is: "What is the preface?"Let's hope so. Maybe we should ship them a few thousand tons of weed to help that process along.
Since the world is exploding the question begs to be asked.
So you don't think North Korea or Iran would be committing suicide if they attempted a nuclear attack on the US? Why is that?
There have been trouble spots all over the world for the last thousand or so goddamn years.
This is nothing new.
There is no requirement that I know of.Must you use profanity?
Must you use profanity?
Welcome to the internet.
Nope. Im in the crowd of WW3 probably will never happen.
We like our fantasy land and will fight to make it reality?The results of this poll shock me.......All I can say is you people who voted no live in fantasy land..........I am usually pretty accurate on my political positions on the issues but hope and pray I am wrong about this one.
Since the world is exploding the question begs to be asked.
No...
I hope you pacifists are right and wish I was as sure as you.
World War Three began a long time ago, in the 1970s. It started when President Carter betrayed and abandoned the best ally we ever had in the Muslim-dominated world—the Shah of Iran—allowing the Khomeniacs to overthrow him and take over that nation. This is when the dangerous, toxic Islamist terrorists first gained control of the resources of an entire nation; from which to spread their poison across the rest of the Muslim world.
All of the trouble that we have had ever since with Islamist terrorist all goes back to that one tragic act of incompetence on Carter's part.
If you read my follow up post and if you're old enough to remember, during the 60's, 70's and 80's during Presidential elections it was always mentioned that Democrats had gotten America into two world wars and Korea and the Vietnam War would be added to the list during the 1968 Presidential elections.
BTW: Do you remember what the 1960 Presidential campaign was mostly about ? Who would be more aggressive stopping Communist expansion in the world, Nixon (Republican) or Kennedy( Democrat)
Americans were pretty split who would be better at the job and not turning the Cold War into a hot war. The voters went to the polls and along with the corpses from the Cook County cemeteries, JFK was elected. The rest is history.
Who appeased Putin in 2009 and agreed not to station NATO anti ballistic missiles in Eastern Europe with nothing in exchange from Russia ?
From that day on Putin had no respect for a pantywaist who didn't know how to play geopolitic chess.
Almost a year ago when Obama kept moving the "red line" in the sand during the Syrian crisis and got into a staring match with Putin and Obama blinked, Obama went in front of the world calming that geopolitics was obsolete in the 21st Century. All of the worlds leaders laughed at Obama. The world doesn't automatically change because of a date on a calendar. All of the world leaders after having a good laugh that the world changed at midnight on January 1st, 2000 went back to geopolitics.
Obama believes the world should be as he visions it to be. 99.9% of the people in the world don't vision the world as Obama does.
The results of this poll shock me.......All I can say is you people who voted no live in fantasy land..........I am usually pretty accurate on my political positions on the issues but hope and pray I am wrong about this one.
Since the 60's/late-70's, Democrats have tried very hard NOT to lead the nation into another unjustified armed conflict. Fast-forward to today and you'll hear Republicans make the claim that Democrats are soft on using America's military might. Every time I hear that, I remember the exact same historical context as you. Yet, Republicans will continue to beat Democrats about the head over their willingness to seek peaceful solutions first, and use war only as a last resort. (Of course, many of them got it wrong when it came to authorizing the War in Iraq.)
I rest my case. :doh
We like our fantasy land and will fight to make it reality?
Sorry but you just can't bury you head in the sands and hope the problems just go away.
They won't.
What makes you think the world is headed in that direction?
I voted yes simply because I'm always an optimist and I believe global wars could potentially in the future be the only thing that fixes our societies seeing as reform clearly won't.
