LOL, I hardly think Russia could afford a war with the USA. I'd have to imagine that we could outspend them 100:1.

Out spending doesn't actually win wars...

I agree, unconventional wars have little to do with money. I never said we would win

Well.... we know that this a PARF rant.
However, WWIII won't be Russia or North Korea. It will be the fanatic Muslims
bombing Isreal and that will start the whole Atomic ball rolling.

Think about it. The Jews have this tiny little piece of land in an area in a place that
is going to get bombed soon. They will retaliate and that will start WWIII.

Friggin ass-wipes like Madlien Albright and Hillary and Kerry gave our country
away.

I think it'll be a multi front war if it ever happens. ^^
I think the only thing holding it back is North Korea's missle program. The missiles they have on hand can easily hit Japan, and the tip of Australia. As soon as they have the means to reach Hawaii and the West coast... It'll get interesting.

The ME is a ticking time bomb. May it come from Israel, Iran, or even escalation of proxy war in Syria and Iraq. I know a few people getting deployed to Iraq and they're not even close to SF... So it's another round we go without occupation forces... The u.s cannot win any war were it will go toe to toe with a competitor of the same caliber...

We, as individuals, have so little power over most things. As for me, I'd be doing whatever I could to save my soul. Beach and prayer sound good...

The Russians ARE the good guys. We should send them money drugs and prostitutes. Maybe even send them Donld Trump.

They have certainly turned the tables in the fight against ISIS ever since they downed that Russian plane - bad mistake ISIS.

Me? I think I'll opt' for fighting with my ten shot Benelli and letting rip with buckshot.

Clinton and her clique created ISIS, that is not debatable any longer.
Then they let them take over Iraq, spill into Syria, causing a huge refugee crisis into Europe.
Now, Clinton also wants to bring those same refugees, many of them are ISIS sympathizers,into the US. Meanwhile, the russians are fighting ISIS but somehow they are made to be the bad guys, at the risk of causing a world conflict.

What is happening is so clear even a child could see it: there is a concerted effort to create a global crisis, chaos and upheveal in order to bring global government as the manufactured solution to end the chaos, and destroy national sovereignties.

The same tactics are used against the economy. What I am saying here is that the chaos we seem to be living in did not happen by accident, but is the result of an engineered effort. The sooner people become aware of that, the sooner they can make the right choices to fix the situation.

When you roll the dice can you control the outcome? The answer is no you can not.

How did the EU come about...through chaos or was it through negotiation? Reasonable men reasoning your life away. Control and not chaos is the means. Fatten the calf up so he cant move if he wanted to. "Unaware and compliant" is what Wiki leaks said.

So your notion just doesn't hold water.

I was thinking about this the other day. What if a bomb went off in town, you weren't home but far enough away to survive?

No working cars, electricity, internet, TV or radio so no way to know what happened or who started it. What would YOU do?

I'd try to get home and do the best I can until the end. Hopefully my kids would make it home.
If I was really lucky I'd find a generator so I could play some of my favorite vinyl... And that's it.
