5 Places Where World War III Could Start

National Interest ^ | 2020 | Robert Farley

[Olog-hai]

If it was a world war, it was a continuation of the second, and even with the USSR gone it was continued by Red China.

[a fool in paradise]

Germany and the Soviets had the same ideas and didn’t like the competition.

We gave out medals for “the Cold War”. Different name, same series.

[Pilsner]

Or South Africa: they have massive weaponry (if they’ve been taking care of it) and a lot of crazy people in or near position of power.

How could South Africa start a World War? Invading Botswana isn’t going to cause a lot of late nights in the HQs of the world’s nuclear powers.

Germany and the Soviets had the same ideas and didn’t like the competition.

Just like the Bloods and the Crips.

6th place it could start....Portland, or Chicago, or Austin, or anyplace where Proggies rule... the night President Donald Trump totally, completely utterly destroys Joe Biden and the GOP wins control of the House and Senate.

I can see Comintern agents working Antifa and BLM types worked into a frenzy until they begin rioting, and normal people defending themselves.

[MinorityRepublican]

Portland, Oregon.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Korea-the Sporks would win.
Kashmir-I say India.
Iran-let the jooz take them out.
Turkey-let the Greeks stick it up their a$$.
As I see it we stay out. Chicoms will be too busy to expand.

[Mariner]

Yes, I want to be rid of those parasitic bastards.

All of them.

[Mariner]

One other note: They are completely free to form that “long-planned anti-US military now.

With my and most other Americans blessing.

But they don’t have the will or the steel in their spine.

If China were foolish enough to attack Taiwan, India would be tempted to attack China in the Himilayas where their border is in dispute and there have been military clashes. Pakistan in turn might then attack India to settle the Kashmir issue. Southeastern Asian countries fearful of Chines military might and expansion plans might but not likely be drawn into the fight. Would the US and Australia somehow become engaged? Probably not since it is very doubtful that an American President would commit to defending Taiwan. However nuclear armed countries fighting each other could be catostrophic.

It would be such a bloody inconclusive mess, can only hope war gamers in those countries can convince their political masters that war would be a disaster and should be avoided at all costs.

[Cold Heart]

That’s three for Portland.

[11th_VA]

New York, Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago, or Seattle

[Vermont Lt]

Kenosha?

[Celtic Conservative]

6: Cleveland. Don’t ask me why.

[wastedyears]

This kind of doomsday machine?

[wildcard_redneck]

They forgot to include ‘flyover country.’

[GOPJ]

...Russians created a doomsday device that will autolaunch a “response” if nuclear detonations are detected in Russia. I wonder if Islamonazis could set off a dirty bomb and trigger the Ruskies doomsday weapon since it is still online and armed.

Ummm some ideas are best NOT to share...

[Olog-hai]

Of course they do. Feigning weakness is a millennia-old tactic.

[Olog-hai]

I certainly want to be rid of the parasitism, but consider that it was the left in the US government that permitted it by design, not to mention entrenching the “soft” socialism there and building it here by undermining our morals.

[WoofDog123]

presumably this was the case for years and decades. the virus’ political and economic impact is a seismic event still unraveling. it is going to be looked back at as a singular event that started the ball rolling on some bad things. I think it will be a comparable trigger event to the assassination that is widely viewed as having pushed the first domino to wwI.
