Meshuggah said:I expect WW3 to be Russia vs US vs China in an all out war. Not north korea vs US...I forgot what it was said a long time ago, whether it was the bible or some scripture, but they said, the Dragon(china), the griffon(US), and the Tiger(russia) will end the world. Now, I don't believe in this, and those words are loosely of what I just remember reading a LONG time ago, but it could be a hint at Russia vs China vs US, or simply, Russia vs US, sometime in the future.
Genesis said:UK have already began planning to build a deterrent system because of the Nuclear threat NK possess. I found that quite interesting. This would be suicide for NK though, because they have literally wasted their countries resources for a strong military, and it's a military that isn't strong enough to beat the US and their endless. What then? What happens after they lose and the world hates them? The UN will have even stricter sanctions no doubt, no one will want to trade with them, and they're already stricken by poverty there. You don't find many trees in North Korea as locals cut them down to get heat, and they estimate North Koreans to be 2 inches shorter due to stunt growth because of lack of food.
My point is, when they lose (because they will), what then? This is the reason why I do have such big doubts on this "war".

Stopspot said:Jonathan: The regular British army is actually just that, regular. They ain't cutting edge. they've just been in more wars in modern time than most other western countries.
Genesis said:I wouldn't say it's regular at all. Given how small the UK is, they're pretty damn powerful. We're the 4th top spending country for military expenses, and we're only behind the megapowers of United States, China, and Russia. Not sure what your sources are on us being "regular" are though :urm:
I know we already have nuclear deterrents Jonathan... My point was that we were going to be building another in range so we aren't liable to come under nuclear blackmail at any point, and this notion has only come about since the North Korean threat.
