Psychologists tell us that mankind is not pre-disposed to war, history says otherwise.
I do believe its inevitable that a World War 111 will occur but the date and who might be involved is still a little unclear however given the size of China and its population they will probably be involved and of course Russia. Its all pretty well described in the end of times and battle of Armageddon and Book of Revelations.Quote:

If there is escalation it's because the United States said it have direct conflict if it invaded Taiwan. I heard the usa wouldn't even be able get close with china's army that they have build since the last war. They haven't stopped building their arsenal and with today's new tech they would be sitting ducks even trying to get close..
Anyway I hope it doesn't happen.

When North America chooses the weakest possible leaders this is what will happen
between Biden and Trudeau they have weakened the North American economy and dollar to the point war is needed to stabilize things here.
It's truly disgusting the mismanagement that has happened over here. I once put on a uniform for this country for this to happen is truly a kick in the nuts
Well China has not been in a real "shooting war" for a very long time (Vietnam) but they do now have a substantial Naval Power which is approaching the size of the US Pacific fleet.Quote:

As soon as they think they can take something they will try.
Don't worry Dan the Liberals and Democrats will sort everything out while the in fighting goes on between the Conservatives and Republicans. Poor Erin O Toole is even out the ring.Quote:

Let’s just get this over with already. This ongoing tension is stalling the inevitable.
Might be more than that by then.Quote:

In turn will artificially push up the house prices again pushing the bubble further along down the rd. If it does it could also lead to more higher hikes. Lol.

Isn’t Canada going to pink camo uniforms ??
From some countries yes, but some are coming straight from countries we’d be at war with. Others like Muslim’s don’t support western army’s because of the many conflicts on the Middle East, and have told me they will not fight. If it come down to it I guess I may get the chance to join my long family line of military service members .Quote:

China yes, Russia not so. Their credibility has dropped some with their war on Ukraine lasting over a year. However that lunatic running the country who knows. And we can't forget about Iran.
But like you said one trigger happy pilot could start it all.
Not to sure most will go nuclear many of the threats actually come the usa .
Putting is already worried about Ukraine using depleted uranium shells for its tanks brought in from the usa.

I guess you have not been following the War in Ukraine. You need to get of that Fox News Feed.
That should not be a big worry I am sure the Leopard tank and the British Challenger tanks will be able to punch nice big holes in any Russian Tanks.Quote:

I read a novel last year (I can’t recall the title or author) but the story was about how eventually the US and China lob nuclear middles at each other. What it came down to was that fundamental differences in culture, how each side thinks, how they view themselves and others created a situation where they couldn’t communicate or understand each other. Basically they couldn’t find common ground or understand each other’s perspective.
As I understand it, the people of China are not allowed to think freely or communicate freely. They are constantly being watched by their government. It’s definitely a twilight zone compared to most western countries.Quote:

During operational exercises with US Army tank crews,our crews using Leopard II's regularly run circles around the M1A2 crews. It PO's them to no end.LOL The Russians ain't got a hope.Quote:

Well there is a gigantic gaping flaw in your reasoning because almost every country in the western world is going thought the exact same problem?

I've heard people talking about WWIII since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Anyone else old enough to remember watching "Duck and Cover" in class? I came to the conclusion while huddled under my grade school desk during an air raid drill that there wasn't much I could do to prevent it from happening and feel the same way today. I save my concerns for the things I can change not the ones I can't.
When ww3 brakes out who are you going to fight for?
USA for me.

Let's further keep on the green mission guess that puts up the energy even more . Our food banks can't keep but our government's don't care because we have a climate crisis .
It's could get ugly soon.
Maybe it's time for us to send tanks to Syria Isreal continues to bomb them.

This in turn is imposing a threat to the future survival of our specie. Seemingly our political managers have determine the best was of dealing with the human surplus is to reduce it through WAR, which our past history has proven to work. Heaven forbid that they attempt to manage population numbers by imposing some degree of procreation levels to bring things back into balance. Who would stand for such nonsense? Better to let bombing civilian and the battlefields deal with the surplus. If you survive you get to breed unregulated.

The reason I think we’ll see war with China soon, is they have a closing window for world dominance. Because of years of one child policy they are seeing a steep decline in population, especially working and fighting age men and women. They feel they have to act soon while they still think they hold enough cards.
very little modern war is going to be fought in hand to hand combat as it was in the past.Quote:

Yup….there are many reasons that the US keeps a fleet in the Persian Gulf and has the base at Diego Garcia (Indian Ocean). I believe China’s energy is nearly all imported via tanker and most of it through the Strait of Hormuz. Easy choke pointQuote:

You would think China would have a big axe to grind with Japan over the WW2 history.
The only way China could take a war to American main land would be nukes and that they would never try .
I believe there is an Asian-version of NATO although perhaps not as integrated that would involve US, Japan, Australia, the Philippines, maybe Malaysia ? South Korea ?Quote:

Lebanon blasted back at Israel making it the biggest missle launch since 2006 . Isreal is not sure what to do now because it doesn't want an "all out war" while it bombs another country. Sooner than later they will get past their iron Dome seft defense systems. It just needs to be overloaded with bombardment.

The Chinese or Russians may not resort to using nukes (unless Putin uses tac-nukes in Ukraine) because a couple of subs off their coasts could literally wipe them off the map in under 30 minutes. The concerns are whack job puppets like Kim Jung Il or the Iranian regime. I believe when WW3 starts,they'll be the ones behind it.Quote:

It will be much different than last world War new tech has changes so much its changing the way of war. It's not going to be a close combat game.

China basically said phat chance of leaving Taiwan alone. They are currently do live drills off the coast
Canada just sent a military plane for surveillance off North Korea for the next 6 weeks. Waste of money of there they would never call or go to war. They know it would be a death sentence they are not interested in starting anything we saw that when Trump was around.
Usa I heard was starting to arm Taiwan further escalating the tensions.
Xi jinping says it's "wishful thinking" if anyone tries to stop him.
Personally I don't think we would sanction China the same as others. Who crossed the line. My father inlaw does but I don't think they would. We rely to much on them and if we stopped trade with China then what? We get nothing?
I heard an old usa president once said they needed to stay out of the eastern wars as it would just drag them down. We see that happening.
