Hint: the answer to both questions is no

[Conan]

quick question would anybody be saying this is WW3 if it were "warmongering killary klinton" or whatever

im pretty sure i saw a lot of people post in the political thread links to stuff where people said stuff like "if hillary wins she's going to start ww3"

[JumboMuffin]

britain and france seem pretty hasty to attack syria too

[Conan]

:thinking:

[espio100]

relevant

also ww3 will be the biggest jewish trick ever

[Tactical Nuke]

so let's see

britain, france and the us, arguably the world's three strongest superpowers, attack syria, a stuffhole, provoking russia, a dead and dying superpower with a failing economy

this is really gonna be a war on scale with the two world wars and not just 100 days of us beating their stuff in guys trust me

[espio100]

lets not forget about all the nukes

sure their economy is a lot smaller than the US's, but its not going to be bloodless or that easy to steamroll either - they aren't that far behind in terms of military tech. and wouldnt this response count as moving the goalposts? isn't the goal to avoid war?

[Tactical Nuke]

oh yeah those nukes that everyone is totally going to use!! it's like MAD isn't a thing literally everyone isn't worried about!!!!

"a lot smaller" is putting it ridiculously plainly

it's smaller than italy and canada and is completely based on oil

in addition, russia's population is infected with aids/hiv at a staggering rate, more babies are being aborted than being birthed, and the country may as well be drinking itself to death

their life expectancy is lower than both iraq and libya

their military isn't "that far" behind in tech, but all those factors would mean russia going to war would be completely unfeasible
it's why they didn't react with military action when turkey shot down one of their jets, which would be a call to arms for any other country
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/28/turkey-prepared-to-compensate-russia-over-shooting-down-of-jet

we spend more money on our military than the russians have in their central bank
our air force outspends their entire armed forces

they're a joke
the only """""""""""""""""threat""""""""""""""""" from russia is nukes which is never going to happen

tac nuke further demonstrating his shaky grasp of geopolitics

[Mr.Noßody]

Isn't this like the third time people thought WW3 was going to happen over the same-type thing?
Also, I thought Annoying Orange and Putin were BFFs

if i were a terrorist getting beat up by three us soldiers and felt like i had no chance of survival, i wouldn't hesitate on pulling the trigger to the bomb vest im wearing i had just in case this would happen.

point being that someone backed up against a corner or in an extremely stressful situation is unpredictable and may do something drastic in retaliation, even at the cost of their own life. like reaching behind themselves when police officers are pointing a gun at them and telling them to get on the ground.
