No. Personally, I'm convinced World War 3 will begin in and about North Korea. World War 3 will be between China and the US.
Well, this one-world economy as you propose regularly would jeopardize the US's position. More and more countries are using the Euro for their finances, mostly due to its stability.The US is so deep in debt that we can't afford to piss off nations like Japan, Saudi Arabia, China, or any serious lenders.
see no that isn't true. tho we are in debt. these nations economies would bust if we stopped. our debt is what keeps them alive. and even then, the aspect of "debt" is shady to some economists
:rofl: :rofl:I am elected king of the Whicker People
Does anyone remember on 9/11 the feeling when you were looking at the live feeds and thinking this can't be happening to us.. Nuke weapons in these lunatics hands would make that look miniscule.. You are talking about people that turn themselves into human bombs and chop peoples friggin heads off.. This is a scarey age we are heading into ..
mindgames---I'm giving you reps purely for your passionate interest. I disagree with almost everything, but I respect you and I respect disagreement. I'm all for intelligent dialogue and conversation.
That said, my intelligent take on this topic is this:
who cares about nukes? We'll all be so rocked-up and ripped from the m-TRN/TST stack, we wouldn't even notice a nuclear strike... :lol: :toofunny: :trout: :thumbsup: :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:
(Dr. Strangelove is your friend...)
Ummmm, no.nobody commits more resources to help than the US..then they have the balls to complain we are not doing enough...
China don't give a raging f@#k about the Iranians so as to confront the US Navy. They can't prevent sh1t. lol Right now, they can't even hop over the Taiwan Strait to take Taiwan. lolWell, China said they'll try to prevent a war on Iran so if you mess with Iran, you mess with China.
NK is in a long downward spiral of wholesale collapse. The South Korea is not worried over an invasion of North Korean military. However, they are scared to death over an invasion of North Korean refugees after the collapse. South Korean has been building a large bureacracy of civilian adminstrators, tasked to move into North Korea, to run the country, after the Kim Mafia collapse.Kim Jong-Il and his dynasty will lead to problems. If North Korea goes away, the US will back South Korea to make Korea. China will want to claim North Korea for themselves because of the minerals there.
Appeasement is a tried and failed strategy. No point in keep trying a failed strategy that has resulted in the murder of millions and the enslavement of millions. Appeasement is evil, as it has always resulted in the expansion and perpetuation of evil.In my opinion, thats why its best we try to appease Iran and North Korea. We need to calm down our bloodlust and start thinking of viable solutions because war is not one of them.
Not according to the Russians or the Chinese. They are not concerned that the Iranians get nukes. Their strategy is, if the crazy ayatollahs were to detonate a nuke that affect them, they would simply turn the whole Iran into a nuclear wasteland, making it an example for all the would be nuclear power. It is a ruthless strategy, but an effective one.nuclear war isnt good for anyone... if a modern ruler actually deployed a nuclear warhead against another country or city... then effectively the world is over.
I'd prefer someone competent. GW has waged two wars and he's blown them both.I take issue with virtually everything King George does, but, IMO, he and his cabinet are the right people to have at the helm if we are going to have to wage war on the Iranians.
I think that might just happen.Hell, we might as well just ask the Israelies to take care of the Iranian nuclear program. They always seem to win their wars.
Well, I have friends there and they tell me things are very very bad. Coalition forces and aid workers barely leave their compounds for fear of ambush and attack. Government control barely extends outside of Kabul. Opium money is fueling a mix of drug runners, Al Quaeda and Taliban who all share a common interest in keeping the central government weak. Drug runners are paying "taxes" to the Taliban to protect them from the government/coalition forces - said taxes then being used to arm and equip more Taliban and Al Quaeda fighters. Any Afhghan who cooperates with the government faces retaliation because there are not enough troops to protect them......so like what happens in so many insurgencies, poor villagers simply support whomever is standing in their village with guns at the time, careful not to choose sides lest they be punished by the other side.Taliban's chances of taking back Afghanistan is about the same as OJ Simpson's chance in winning the Republican nomination to be US President.
Well, in a simplified version, there are two basic dominant military theories in the US right now:How, Specifically, do you think we've mismanaged Iraq and Afghanistan? Is that the fault of the Administration or the Pentagon?
This is not a challenge to your assertions, I don't know enough about Military Strategy and Tactics to able to critique our methods.
I do know that quelling the ambush style tactics of the insurgency of Iraq would be damn difficult on the streets of America and believe it would doubly so on someone else's turf against fanatics with the aid of outside logistical and intelligence support.
No kidding....and even the people who think like him.sigh.. i miss Powell
Two Afghan police dead, four missing in rebel raidTaliban's chances of taking back Afghanistan is about the same as OJ Simpson's chance in winning the Republican nomination to be US President.
But the news you don't hear is the number of ex-Taleban die hards switching over to the government side. Taliban murdered a few and that ended up causing blood vendetta by their clans against the talibs. Basically, the Talibs are simply just not tracking well these days.
The Talibs' only option is to create a lot of skirmish attacks, so as to create this delusion that the whole Afghanistan is falling apart. That is called media warfare. They know the media will pick up this and paint a picture of total mayhem and carnage. They know the media would feast on bad news like vultures and ignore good news. They have the ideal partner in the liberal media.
But the reality is far from the image presented in the media.
A lot has been done behind the scene, that does not make the news. The condition that supported Taleban's takeover of the country last time, is no longer there. If anything, the whole population, with the exception of a few recalcitrant Pusthun tribes, is dead set against the Talibans. Everybody remembers the lifestyle Talibans imposed upon them. Compares that bitter experience to the current freedom they enjoy, the Taliban has ZERO chance of winining back their support.
The maxim of winning a guerilla war is, you need the support of the people. Fat chance of that happening in Afghanistan or Iraq.
That is why, we are winning and will win decisively when it is all set and done.
I hold with the Powell doctrine in the extreme. I wouldn't have minded if Afganistan was nuked to its borders and the ground salted with radioactive isotopes of cobalt. Neutron bomb the place and make it unlivable. One problem with wars is that a lot of them never truly end, just fizzle out only to be revived at one of the combatant country's earliest convenience. Genocide, while horrible, would possibly solve some tricky problems.no body ever wanted to nuke Afghanistan. What the hell can you bomb them back into, if they are still in the stone age....just a waste of good juice that Dr. Brown needs to get back to the future....
