A world war in the modern age would be intriguing. No waiting for 3 days to hear how the men on the front line got on. 24 hour, round the clock war. Cities being obliterated from 1,000 miles away.
The USâs appetite for war in Iraq in 2003 was like lapsed forum member @The_Dunphâs appetite for a feed from Donkey Fordâs after a hard dayâs INTERNETTING.
An actual world war would be over in about 15-20 mins and weâd all be dead, so we wouldnât have long to worry about it, which is a positive I suppose. The East Coast would certainly be gonzo anyway.
Our best hope is a proxy war like the Vietnams etc of the Cold War era, where the US & the Chinese can duke it out in some place like Vietnam (again) without actually being at war with each other.
Could we have one that was concentrated on the middle East, a few of those shitty central Asian countries and a few of those former USSR countries in eastern Europe ?
We were heading that way for a while but it looks like Putin & Trump are giving each other some space. If HRC had been elected then that would have been the most likely theatre of war with a Syria/Iran/Russia/Shiite vs the US/Sunnis and the rest arrangement.
Iâd say the baltics are glad they are in Nato because Putin would probably be already in there only for that.
