WW III- Hype or is it coming?

Trouble in the Middle East (still/again)

Trouble in Texas on the Border.

Trouble in Arizona on the Border

Americans Robbed, Killed, Kidnapped by Drug Cartels.

What do you think will be the kick-off?

Or, do you think it will just blow over?

    Taiwan is up for elections this year and the leading candidate has stated if his party wins, they will vote to break away OFFICIALLY from China. China has stated IF that happens they will retake Taiwan by military FORCE. The US has stated they will stand by Taiwan should that happen. So should we and China go to war over Taiwan, I bet russia invades China over the former USSR stae (forget which one) that China and Russia have had troubles over before due to OIL. Now that brings ins so many nations that there is your WWIII. SO IMHO I am betting it begins in Asia!

    we seem to be sending troops all over the world, we have to be gearing up for a "thing" with N. Korea there is sure to be some flap over this Israeli action against the activists trying to bust their
    blockade.
    Iran already has nukes (I would bet money on it) and N. korea seems to be trying to send their limited nuclear arsenal to be launched from locations where they can inflict the most damage to western counties.
    China is sitting back hoping to pick up the pieces
    there is too much going on to think there is not a larger scheme
    in the works. I would almost bet china is giving Iran and N' Korea the technologies they need to start the wars.
    they send them piece by piece thru fed ex and they are putting togethewr a few dozen nuclear weapons here in major American cities all at the same time

    Yep, been underway for a while. Just not Obvious to the average Buffy taking her precocious little Metrosexual-In-Training Fauntleroy to Soccer Practice (where they don't keep score):

    Look up "Asymmetric Warfare", then think about the Chinese taking all our production base. Then remember how we really won WWII - We started late, but we outproduced our enemies. Our stuff wasn't the "Best", in most cases, but we made a whole lotta "Pretty Good" stuff. Can't do that now.

    Recall how we won the Cold War: We Outspent (In REAL Money) the Russkies, crushing their economy. The Russkies tried to match us (Innovating and Producing) on Loaned/Leveraged Monies.

    Now switch back and think about China vs U.S....who holds the I.O.U.s???

    North Korea is a CatsPaw for China, gives China Plausible Deniability at the Hague, but does China's bidding. That Theatre is heating Up Real fast.

    Ahmanutjob is at or very near Nuking Israel, and the whole world will go preachy on us when we go to Israel's defense (If Obozo actually does). Whether Buckwheat does or does not, the U.S. will catch a lot of the Blame anyway.

    What is that noise?? Sounds like a Heavy Train coming this way......

    Everybody got their Personal Protection Equipment at the ready - Mouthguard and Helmets, Gasmasks and Filtration and First Aid Kits, Food and Water, Guns/Ammo and Tools, etc?

    IMHO, anyway...

    Possibly Pakistan-India problems (this is the east, not the mideast, India is south of China)

    More likely, North Korea starts something, or postures sufficiently to provoke a preemptive strike that aims to take out its nuclear capability.
    China, which has been wavering to condemn North Korea (though I cannot blame it if it hasn't seen the evidence itself, given the composition of the countries that conducted the investigation, not exactly neutral third parties, and even if it was a north korean design, there could be malfeasance by a third party trying to provoke a war),
    China may side with the North to prevent us from "playing around in their back yard", or interfering in their affairs, they could easily spin it as imperialism.

    Basically.... anything that involves two nuclear armed countries, particularly if one of the sides has a population over 1 billion.

    Heard yesterday from a gal that has a daughter awaiting to start flight school in Pensacola, she says she has been there for 6 weeks waiting to start and that the program is backed up with record numbers of folk awaiting to get through it.

    that only happens for a couple of reason one being, they have increased the number of people going through the program in anticipation of doing more than they are currently doing

    read what you will into it but we could just very well be on the brink of the WWIV

    Here is what China will not do.
    Start a war with the US.
    They would lose a bundle of money and they have become very attached to being wealthy.
    The Chinese people like Americans a bunch and will not be easily motivated to go to war with us.
    China will not go to war over NK, they will posture to prevent us from doing any more than punishing the NKs and we will respect their posturing.

    They will take military action to retake Taiwan and IMO it is realistically a part of China and as Hong Kong has proven being reunited will not be a detriment to the average Taiwanese.
    Listen up, we will do absolutely nothing if the Chinese move against Taiwan. Nothing, Nada, Null, Zip.

    Chavez is in economic Scheise right now and can not afford to invade Columbia let alone support any Gringoland invasion.

    The Mideast will have an event that will turn everything quickly but while that could be tomorrow or ten years we will not be able to predict war with what we know now and when something big happens we will know we are heading to war like it or not.

    IMO money will dictate the next war.
    We are worse off than Greece as we are doing nothing to prevent the sovereign debt that has to crush us at some near point creating a dire situation.

    Not enough info on when and where as of yet but more things are maneuvering to make it more and more likely sooner than later

    the bottom line is, we need to do something as a nation of citizens to send a positive pmessage to this administration that we know and understand what they are doing. we need to go on strike, completly quit working, employers, lay off your entire staff and have them apply for benefits. sole proprietors need to work under the table only. we need to sanction Obama, Pelosi and the rest of this admin.
    Take away their money, don't buy any bonds, and make a ton of noise.
    I think we are on the verge of a civil war too and when that happens is when WWIII will kick off,
