When did they shoot down our plane? Do you mean where their pilot name Wong Wei(Ironic eh opps wrong way!) slammed into our ep3? They would suffer retaliation if they shot down a US plane.

We'll find out tomorrow when it's put to a vote.

My guess is that Russia will abstain, and if China fails in this last ditch diplomatic attempt theyve engaged in right now, they've probably given a backdoor assurance to abstain and not veto if NK doesn't offer some type of gesture before the vote.

Did not mention a plane. If you are referring to being at war with Russia and China, we have been at war with Russia ever since the end of WWII. The war against Russia was called the Cold War or WW III. Both sides suffered significant casualties (Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc.). When the Berlin wall came down, Russia was forced to give up its empire (Soviet Union). That was technically the end of WWIII. Russia however is still there with its nukes and appears to be on the verge of expanding its empire once again. One could also say that we have been at war with China since they invaded North Korea and we engaged them directly. Since then, China has been expanding its empire (Tibet). The problem with North Korea is that it could illustrate a 'working collaboration' between the Russians and Chinese. If you add Islam into the mix, we may be facing our greatest challenge ever. The main Islamic world could be destroyed in 30 minutes. Russia and China however can significantly retaliate after and during a First Strike.
