Israel and Iran are fighting, pulling in Lebanon and Gaza. Russia and Ukraine are fighting, pulling in NATO countries. India is strengthening ties with Russia (via BRICS) and will probably get involved somewhere. North Korea is sending troops to fight with Russia, and so South Korea is considering getting involved on Ukraine’s side. And China is getting ready to invade Taiwan which will definitely involve the U.S. That’s… 43 countries at war or about to be at war, representing almost half of the world’s population.
That’s cool. Better to end it now than to wait for climate change to starve us all to death.
If I see someone unironically making a case for BRICS one more time, I’m going to have a fucking stroke. The main concern for the west at this point is ensuring they don’t weaken Russia so much that it dissolves into an analogue of warring states China.
What do you mean by “making a case”? Asking honestly. I don’t know much about the conversation around it.
The Telegraph is a right-wing rag. Don’t let it mislead you.
And this guy doesn’t sound like he has any real bona fides. He screams armchair expert.
Ooooh… that’s probably why I’m being down voted… That’s disappointing.
Whelp, time to stock up supplies then?
What nonsense.
Agreed. Anyone with half a brain knows that it’s going to be Canada that takes us into WW3. With the world distracted by all of the other hostile land grabs, Canada will seize the initiative and take Greenland since it’s likely to live up to its namesake soon. This will set off Britain’s alarm bells, and they’ll take Iceland as a hedge against Canuck imperialism. And once Britain is distracted enough, Argentina will be all, “fucking finally” and take the Falklands. Never one to miss an opportunity for oil, the US will decide to preemptively seize Antarctica before the Argentines can expand further… just in time for a few ice shelves to break off and become free-floating. And while the sacrifice of Florida, the Mississippi Delta, and about half of New Jersey will be deemed worth it from the US perspective, the sea level rise will make the previous fighting over islands seem pointless.
All of this is ,of course, contingent on no one being idiotic/spiteful/ignorantly self-righteous enough to launch a nuke. That changes the calculus enough that no mere shitposter doing a prolonged ass-pull could realistically predict beyond “so much for mutually assured destruction.”
Or… America might be about to get involved on Russia and China’s side, instead of against them, depending on how the Presidential election goes.
I think that if he wins and if he orders the military to join Russia, one of the Joint Chiefs will end his presidency with extreme prejudice.
Then we will have an entirely different can of worms opened.
I hope, when this case arise, that they have the guts to pull the trigger.
