i know it hasn’t happened, but dang all those weapons we, the Russians and Chinese have, a miracle we haven’t accidentally started a war (any of the three)
“i know it hasn’t happened, but dang all those weapons we, the Russians and Chinese have, a miracle we haven’t accidentally started a war (any of the three)”
Russian and American cultures are very safety oriented. Chinese military operations and weapons are copied from both and are probably safer than third world militaries. All three have very disciplined military forces that will follow orders even if those orders put them personally at risk.
The real risk comes in when third world militaries have nuclear weapons. If individual commanders can use the weapons they just might. The middle eastern mindset is dramatically different than Russian, American or Chinese people. Several years ago Pakistan launched a surprise assault on the outlaw areas. They were bloody and had no obvious goal. Indian intelligence reported that Pakistan had lost several nuclear weapons to domestic terrorists and launched the assault to recover those weapons.
If Iran has nuclear weapons and the leader in charge fails to use them as they have promised they would, that leader will likely be replaced by somebody who will use those weapons. As these weapons proliferate the probability that they will be used increases exponentially. Probably within the next twenty years at least one city will be nuked. The Jihad was actually reinitialized by President Carter. But we have Obama to thank for this present looming disaster.
