capital of Russia was Kiev Ukraine
Im Russian-Ukrainian myself
I'm just saying invading like
Poland would be an absolute failure
Poland is the new Germany
Also with Ukraine/Belarus Russia just funds insurgents
It's economy is growing on par and will soon overtake in rates against germany
War is useful, without it we wouldn't be here. We wouldn't have any of this land.
War is necessary to purge the weak
Not taking into account nuclear weapons
You can't attack a nation with nuclear weapons nor a country in a nuclear umbrella
No one would use nukes against a nuclear power
MAD policy
lol u wot
MAD works with land invasions too
oh you mean in a full invasion of the country
Ukraine wasn't in a nuclear umbrella and neither was Iraq/Afghanistan
then just invade everyone else
So yeah you could feasibly invade countries that aren't alligned with a nuclear power
But then those countries are quite worthless
Non-Nuclear World War 3 would be nice tbh
What would there be for America to gain?
Technological advancement at an accelerated rate
Economic skyrocketing
Stronger sense of nationalism
good liveleak videos
In what scenario does America being at war with its economic interests overseas or having them damaged inadvertently make the economy "skyrocket"?
GDP only increases artificially during war because war-related industries are given financial incentive to expand dramatically. This wealth does not reach "the people", the economy as a whole doesn't benefit.
The USSR for example had their GDP expand rapidly during WWII but their economy was basically shredded.
And what technological advancement would happen in a world war that wouldn't happen in the petty police actions we have today? If anything it would be stifled because there would be less money to give to ambitious projects that are really just money sinkholes like the F-35.
At least I assume that's your reasoning, that war would drive innovation.
A world war does not benefit America at all given how interconnected the American economy is with the world. Globalization and interdependence through free trade is the single biggest factor by a long shot why there are no longer massive wars between countries anymore, because the benefit of gaining raw resources is far outstripped by diplomatic blowback and a restriction to traded resources.
America is definitely the biggest example of this.
tl;dr, saying America would benefit from a world war is completely ignorant.
And I can only assume that when Oscar ignorantly said the capital of Russia was Kiev, he was talking about the Kievan Rus' which was:
A) Scandinavian.
B) and the original capital was Novgorod, Kiev was the strategic capital.
The sheer ignorance here is a lot to take in. 😢
