Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

[quote=davetlv]Could it be that the building itself was destroyed by those wishing to gain maximum PR coverage out of it? We know that Hizbollah have no problem with the murder of innocents![/quote] That's what I'm thinking. Seems like all these terrorists are more content with winning the media war than anything else. Makes perfect sense because the more dead Lebonese civlilians shown on TV, the more people turn to Hezbollah's side. I just wish these people were smart enough to realize they are getting played. But why bother when you can riot in the streets, burning American and Israeli flags and chanting "DEATH TO AMERICA...DEATH TO ISRAEL!!!" Seems like the national pastime over there. I'm sure if we won the World Cup they'd do the same thing. :roll:

sorry, but that was just too funny :lol:

@ David: that will probably be the scenario yes. Followed by a shitload of conferences with zip decissions and even less measures. One thing maybe: Kamal reposting this thread between this and say five years.

Those who brainlessly bash Bush forget one thing: compared to the other leaders, he's but the king of the asylum. We're led by spineless retards...

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

looks like it is about to take a turn for the worse. hezzfucallah's supreme being has just come out and said they will attack tel aviv....... oh yea, that is going to garner sympathy from the international community in order to get isreal to ease up. one bomb in tel aviv will only lead to more and more agressive tactics on behalf of isreal.

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

Interesting to see how this is playing out with Russia... I have spoken with some clients who are from countries near Russia and they say that the Ukraine has been poking Russia for many yrs now but that Ukraine is being used by Israel ... I know Russia is not keen on the the Ukraine joining NATO.... but that's about all I understand. What a mess.

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

Evidently, and I can't believe I even found this out on a Rogan podcast (Conspiracy or not), the U.S. has been needling in Ukrainian politics since 2014. The toppling of the previous president and appointing of Pro-Western Zelenskiy was no accident. If we were pissed about the Cuban missile crisis, Russia has every right to be pissed if Ukraine joins NATO.

Granted Russia has been at war with Ukraine far before U.S. was even constitutionalized, but this recent aggression is primarily U.S. driven. Perhaps Putin is using some dated geographic diagram of the USSR to justify invading Ukraine to avoid the Americans getting in, but this shit is serious.

They've already performed ICBM nuclear test (non weaponized) off of subs in the Black Sea this week and their retreat from Kherson this week is very telling - given the timing of these two events.

It's hairy if you ask me.

Russian missiles hit Poland? Not good.

The true question truly is IF Western interference to pave the way for democracy is something we can agree on. Clearly not in the way that some may judge the manner in which it was instilled.

Now NATO - whether you like them or not - stands united as a collection of democratic nations that have been baited by America's ability to offer weapons security to smaller countries that don't have the budget for it. Some might say the U.S.A. runs the show at NATO, but with the size of the budget (and being a businessman) we bring to the table, wouldn't you think it's fair that the U.S. has a greater say in the manner?

I have mixed feelings about NATO, but think about where Ukraine is today? Imagine a smaller nation, now backed by NATO, is 'boots on the ground' rescued by Western Allies.

It's such a see-saw of 'man is this right or wrong'.
