Russia promised to retaliate against any ships or jets striking Assad in Syria. They didn't. They won't. Do you all think that makes your dick look smaller on the geopolitic scale? How does that make you feel? I won't get into how it feels to support a regime that gases civilians with your own troops...oops, sorry, they were all just mercs who happen to be Russian. I know you've been told that it wasn't Assad. Speaking of Russian mercs, how awesome was that battle in February that saw Russians march into a meat grinder of American artillery and helicopters and lose hundreds of lives? Of course they were only mercenaries. http://www.qhcf.net/phorum/read.php?8,1115282,1115282#msg-1115282 Mon, 11 May 2026 08:10:39 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 http://www.qhcf.net/phorum/read.php?8,1115282,1116874#msg-1116874 http://www.qhcf.net/phorum/read.php?8,1115282,1116874#msg-1116874

Russia obviously also plays in global games with its election influence campaigns in the US, Europe, and former members of the Soviet Union. Not to mention annexation of Crimea and it’s role in Syria.

But while trump is going to set back global relations for a generation even if he doesn’t get involved with large scale conflict (and honestly if he does his leadership style would be disastrous). There is a mechanism to smooth transition of power to the next American leader. Conversely what the fuck happens in Russia when Putin’s coalition is gone? There doesn’t need to be a war, the resulting power vacume will destroy Amy gains he made as factions battle for supremacy without a robust framework for transition.

Though the chances the American system falls apart as republicans cling to minority rule is a real risk that could upend centuries of stability.

But in the not so distant past a lot of wars revolve around gaining control of resources. The global supply chain is a very new thing. It has changed the balance of value from being overwhelming material resource dependent to knowledge/skill based in the last few decades.

That has drastically changed the economic value proposition of war. It’s now more expensive to buy ale a countries resources by force than it is to integrate them to the supply chain.


But political tensions still exist and modern war tends to involve a lot more but in because they center on ideological disputes rather than looting.


Honestly I think Russia or North Korea are most likely to be the spark that starts the next world war. Both are basically insignificant on their own but they could force China into a conflict. Presently China, the EU, and America are the only actors whose participation on opposite sides of a conflict would change a regional war into a world war. While China has some expansionary tendencies as long as they left japan and South Korea alone they would avoid mass conflict and they are aware of that. But Russia’s international meddling or North Korea could force their hand.]]> Quas OT Board Tue, 17 Apr 2018 22:32:50 -0400 http://www.qhcf.net/phorum/read.php?8,1115282,1115349#msg-1115349 http://www.qhcf.net/phorum/read.php?8,1115282,1115349#msg-1115349 Kstatida OT Board Tue, 17 Apr 2018 03:52:38 -0400 http://www.qhcf.net/phorum/read.php?8,1115282,1115348#msg-1115348 http://www.qhcf.net/phorum/read.php?8,1115282,1115348#msg-1115348
1) full-scale nuclear strikes on civilians resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties;
2) both propelled and free-falling arms with radioactive materials, against combatants and civilians, in the center of Europe.
