admitedly america can get away with shooting first and maybe winning

they didn't shoot first, russia already shot first in syria

but it gives everyone else an excuse to do what theyve wanted to do for 50 years

syria is their alley

and they have been accused of using chemical weapons in syria

you can only spin russia as a bad guy there if your cnn

and are still in hot water over the whole diplomat poisoning

theres substantial evidence they didint actually do that poisoning

Nor use chemical weapons.

consitering they were accused of that before the actual poison was identified and it turned out to not actually be the poison that the uk accused them of using

there is no "shooting first" in syria anymore. because both sides have backed 1 or more sides.

and conveniently that story never made it to MSM

like the girl who was poisoned is awake right now

has been for a month

i've basically written off any conflict in the middle east area as just more of the same bullshit

russia wasent really involved until recently

you must remimber, staying out of russias shit was why we voted against hillery

it just kind of seems like that didint go anywhere

yes, so now history is going to repeat itself over there?

no, like i just said the world is a different place now

humans don't change

same game, different skin

War has changed.

more players

<:Kappa:327142715592540171>

were in a much higher stress situation than we were with the gulf

its more like korea but not even exactly like that

theres really not actually anything comparible to this i can think of

are you sure about that? are you sure we are in a much higher stress situation than any other time since WW2?

not as bad as the cuban missle crisis

the kind of stress is different, we dont really know what will even happen during a world war with nukes

will they even be used with so much going on at once? we kind of assume they are mutually assured distruction weapons but not nessicaraly in this context would they be

nukes are a bad tactical option for any country to use. I can guarantee the only reason a nuke will be used is in retaliation of another nuke.

sure but they might not be all used

meanwhile, they have a lot of draw backs, including making you the number one enemy of pretty much the world.

i doubt even china would support russia much if they launched nukes first.

we might see something like a blow for blow thing as completely whiping you and your enemy out while other peices are on the board doesent really seem like the best plan

russia wont launch nukes till they are invaded, even then it might not be armagedon

you know, i take it back, russia might use nukes for scorched earth, you are right

they have a habit of doing that

I think as soon as one is launched the game is over.
