Patchwork 10/24/23 1:28:31 PM #37:	Its all dependent on just how committed the U.S. is to historical alliances with Taiwan and Israel, and how the Ukraine situation plays out.

Prismsblade 10/24/23 1:41:47 PM #38:	buddhamonster posted... Probably the way one always destroys a countries abillity to wage war. Destroy its navy, cripple its air force, blockade its ports, then bomb their cities to dust. Those generally arent how modern wars are fought anymore. Destroying an enemys army economically is usually a far better strat than directly confronting them now. Even then Chinas defenses wont let us bomb them and their assets for free. And if they complete their belt and road initiative wont have any need for ports themselves. --- 3DS FC:3368-5403-9633 Name: Kaizer PSN: Blackkaizer <cite>Prismsblade posted [p:976835761] in is the med...

UnrivaledKoopa 10/24/23 2:08:39 PM #41:	Probably more like Cold War II, where all the world's major powers are fighting in proxy against each other. The biggest risk of escalation into a true WW3 would be the Taiwan front, if China invades and the US chooses to directly fight China in defense of their interests. But even that is unlikely to lead towards nuclear weapons so long as the US doesn't attack mainland China. And of course the Civil War II threat is a legitimate one, though I don't think it would be anything like the first one. --- I never wanted to be a serial killer, anyway.

Vampire_Chicken 10/26/23 10:23:16 AM #45:	The countries with the most reason to fear the devastation of a nuclear attack are those who don't have nuclear weapons. Nuclear-armed rival superpowers are unlikely to push the national self-destruct button by attacking each other. If Russia used nuclear weapons against Ukraine, would America really unleash nuclear retaliation -- in consequence of which, as we all know, tens of millions of Americans would inevitably die -- simply for the sake of avenging Ukraine? (Almost) certainly not. But you have to keep bluffing. The sooner someone realises he can win a war with nukes and very probably get away with it, the sooner he'll try it. --- All the good usernames were already taken. <cite>Vampire_Chicken posted [p:976869471] in is the med...

Balnazarr 10/26/23 10:40:07 AM #47:	Fear mongering. The chances of WWIII were higher during the Cold War. Russia is fighting a hopeless war in Ukraine. Russia has suffered catastrophic losses. A war against the US would end with Russia surrendering within a week. But, really, this war has no chance of spilling over. Russia has no allies that want to get dragged down with it. Nuclear attacks? Out of the option. If they were serious they wouldn't be threatening it. A nuclear strike of any attempt would end with the utter obliteration of Russia. NATO would gladly let Ukraine do whatever it wants to Russia after this. Israel/Palestine? This has been on going for decades. Even if iran were to attack it wouldn't mean much. China/Taiwan? I dont believe it will happen. China has no real power projection. Taiwan is not a defenseless country. It's army is trained and equipped by NATO. China would have to attempt a d-day style landing against a heavily entrenched NATO armed foe. That's not inc the fact NATO would be involved. We wouldn't put boots on the ground against China. Our goal wouldn't be to occupy China. The media think any war that pops up is WWIII. <cite>Balnazarr posted [p:976869708] in is the med... [t:80601642]...</cite> <quote>Fear mongering.
