Do you believe World War 3 is imminent?

[brocktonblockbust]

Syria is definitely the linchpin. One quarter of my family is from Aleppo Syria from The Armenian City there. Some of my aunt's and third cousins are here in New York explaining the politics to me. I have been to the Syrian border in 2015 and spoken to some refugees in Gaziantep, in Hatay, and in Adana.

I think this might help a little bit but I am still completely confused about al-nusra front and about Hezbollah and about Iranian AL-QUDS Black Ops and about the ypg and it's Kurdish support of other Kurdish groups which compounds the situation with the United States and Russia and Israel and the free Syrian Army and Assad's military in conjunction with ISIS as well as the Turkish military threatening both Russia and the United States whenever it suits their agenda. The situation is so utterly convoluted and confusing and now today this suspect last Sunday suspect last Sunday supposed to chemical attack which everyone is denying carrying out and whichever one is threatening to retaliate for and now today Donald Trump is threatening and has now sent to Destroyers from Cyprus to the coast of Latakia in Northern Syria to Launch dozens of smart shiny new missiles at whoever and Russia has threatened not only to shoot down these missiles this afternoon April 11th 2018 but also to sink and destroy all of the battleships and worships of the United States who launched any missiles into Syria

This is way more complicated than what led to World War 1 and I believe that world war will break out at any moment

No, we are a long way off.

If world war 3 happens it will because of computers and facebook.

[El Kabong]

No I do not believe WW3 is imminent and for a couple reasons.

1. Donald Trump has shown that he'll give Mad Dog Mattis as long of a leash as necessary to end an enemy and nobody wants Mad Dog putting the crosshairs on them.

2. Syria is Russia vs ISIS/Al Qaeda...Asad isn't a great person now, but it's a conflict between 2 bad parties that America shouldn't be involved in. It's like a Heel vs Heel wrestling match...Hulk Hogan ain't running to jump in and save one of the Heels it would make no sense.

3. Each time America tries to pull out there's a gas attack or alleged gas attack....think Asad is really doing that? Think he's in his war room with his generals thinking "Well fellas, America think they are pulling out....we just can't let that happen" it makes no sense he and the Russians would WELCOME America getting out of that conflict.

4. Americans and especially Americans in the service don't want to help ISIS or Al-Qaeda and that's the side we have been on in Syria.

WWIII ~breaking out~ +++++SOON++++

[El Kabong]

I've lost quite a bit of respect for Senator McCain

[brocktonblockbust]

Alright so there is a deep state and it has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans. The funny thing is you know Alex Jones was talking about this 15 years ago that it's not about the left or the right it's not about Democrats or Republicans even George Carlin was talking about this 20 years ago saying that it's just all one big Club and that the Democratic and Republican charade or as Alex Jones put it the left-right Paradigm is just there to separate and divide the public so they can squabble over nonsense and pettiness whereas the movers and the Shakers if you want to call them the Illuminati if you want to call them the new world order if you want to call them the Deep State whatever they are the ones who are pulling the strings and calling the shots and I do not think that Donald Trump was supposed to get elected. I truly believe that Hillary Clinton was supposed to win the election because you have every single publication every single online blog every single news organization except for maybe Fox News and Infowars totally lambasting and demonizing and character assassinate Donald Trump since even before he won the election. It looks like every time he wants to get out of Syria is a chemical attack probably pulled off by the new Warhawk and John McCain and the Deep state just to keep the United States in there. The sad thing is that these idiots of the deep state have brainwashed the American public that Donald Trump is the enemy so that the U.S..s. military industrial complex hegemony can remain in place. Trump would be the only one to get us out of that mess and what they have done through complete control of the media is convinced the American public that Trump is some kind of goat to be piled on and humiliated and carted out in shame

We have already been fighting World War III for 15 years, in my view.

Instead of a war of territory, of Empires and of massed ground troops - it has been a war of polarised ideology.

Neo-liberal Western capitalism versus Wahabbi inspired Islam.

[brocktonblockbust]

Well it looks like the War Hawks in the Neocons and the Deep State have gotten to Trump and have forced him to launch this attack or they will release damning information about him or maybe even assassinate him if he doesn't go along with this

Let's see if Russia lives up to its word

[Beanz]

Wow! What a crock of shit. He couldn't wait. Nobody forced him he is not your friend. He thinks he has God on his side like most despots.

[Spicoli]

Merged. Pro Tip..it's not necessary to start a new thread every time a random though pops in your head

The cult of paranoia. Phrases like "the nations of the world can be judged by the friends they keep" and then calling Saudi Arabia etc friends. Phrases like "we and our allies have Marshalled our righteous power '

Trump is really talking shit here, its been the USA who killed millions in Iraq for example, and yet he acts like 70 killed by chlorine barrel bombs is a worse thing. Bolton came in last Friday night The War Hawk, Trump announces US withdrawal, then 24 hrs later a chemical attack which Israel retaliates against, then this.

[Gandalf]

Even if Assad did do the attack which would be deplorable, then how does a nation that is responsible for the deaths of millions have the moral right to do anything? They don't give a hoot about people, so why is this any different. You cannot bomb democracy on people. It is always a manufactured pretext and nobody buys it. Nobody. Yet it happens and come the next election cycle it will be again a competition between who will say they like war the least and then go ahead and bomb anyway. And if it is ever about democracy or helping people then why are you hanging around with the Saudi's? Trump is finished.
