World war 3 could be coming, are you ready to change?

Question

that's right i'm sure by now you've heard about the war with russia and georgia. Some people say russia is trying to regain it's glory, other's say russia is trying to get it's way to israel. The U.S. from what I can tell is not going to help because we can't. We're to busy depending on other countries to supply us with oil. I bet russia is going to take over Georgia in less then a week. My question is what happened to America's spirit. What happened to our sense of duty and pride. Are we so busy buying fancy cars and large houses to know that we are supposed to be fighting for? If Americans are to preoccupied about what they have and what they look like, I ashamed to call myself an american.

Answer 5

united states is defenitly not ready

Answer 6

Its going to be China, Russia, Iran and North Korea vs USA and their allies. USA didnt have all these problems with these countries 10 years ago telling them what they can and cant do. USA has angered alot of countries lately and the thing between USA and China was already on track to happen, this is just adding fuel to the fire so other countries are going to jump on board. USA is busy with iraq right now, as far as duty and pride, look at Myanmar and Darfur and all these other countries that we could have helped in a more responsive way and didnt. USA doesnt want to p**s off the wrong people, same reason we lost Vietnam. Because they were so worried about pissing Russia and China off so they didnt go all out with it like they did with Hiroshima. Well now they have pissed Russia off because they criticized Russia for this already and they already pissed China off during the Taiwan Strait Crisis in 97 so the time is definately coming. With Chinas rising economy and USA's weakening dollar, the stage has been set. I don't think its going to go into war directly after this. Its going to be a few years. But this is one of the things that is leading up to it. Things have been leading up to it since 1989.

What I said above may sound like Im trying to say that USA is wrong for telling them what they can and cant do. Im just speaking about this from their perspective and why they would attack us. I dont think USA is wrong for criticizing any of them. USA government is not in the wrong, but americans themselves (ourselves) are wrong for ignoring this over the years and what is really happening. Please remember how you gave me a thumbs down when your home is invaded. I'll be in Thailand by November.

Answer 7

The "cold" war was a financial and political war and is quite rightly refered to as the third world war.

Answer 8

Are you in the military? If not, then how are you in a position to tell people to fight so you can go buy fancy cars and large houses?

Your argument goes to some hidden motivation behind Russia which they may or may not have, but has nothing to do with the facts of what actually happened. Georgia broke a ceasefire by attacking South Ossetia and killing Russian peace keepers. If a similar situation happened to US peacekeepers, we would probably be doing the same thing.

All we know for sure is that Russia is retaliating in force. The rational response is to get some negotiation going and try to hammer out a peace deal between the two countries. But bloodsuckers like you will try to bring this nation to war every chance you get, while actually staying far away from the consequences of your action.

Its because of people like you that I left the army, that want to see our soldiers needlessly die so you can feel proud of our "American Spirit'.

Answer 9

oh sh*t

that kinda scares me...and im not being sarcastic

Answer 10

It's only been 4 days.  Give it some time.

Answer 11

I think most people are too busy watching the Olympics to care.

And WWIII has been coming since the second one ended.

Also, buying cars and big houses is the American way.

Answer 12

Ready for what?

I've been hearing this same song and dance for the last 25 years. In the 1970's all I heard was that WW3 was right around the corner. If it happens then it happens. I truly get tired of the whining, selfish, vain, no accountability human race.

I served my country and ever since I got out the hatred, selfishness, segregation, favoritism, vanity, conceitedness just increases. There's no end to it.

I am not going to die so some selfish moron can have a fancy house and a fancy car just to mock me later for being a soldier. Just to hate me and not understand me yet they take their freedom for granted while calling me a murderer.

Answer 13

If this country gets entangled in a 3rd world war, I'm moving to Switzerland.

Answer 14

I think this is going to be over pretty soon, its not going to cause WW3.

Answer 15

Not to put too fine a point on your topic, but it was troops from Georgia which invaded South Osettia.  

Answer 16

As much as I hate to say this, purely because it scares the absolute h**l out of me, it wouldn't surprise me if WWIII is coming. There is too much havoc in the world right now for me to deny the possibility. The question is, when?

It's funny really. While you're asking :

" ... what happened to America's spirit. What happened to our sense of duty and pride ... ?"

I'm wondering why you would assume that America "has a duty" to do anything? Not to mention the fact that it had NOTHING to be "proud" of in the first place nevermind LOSE it's pride! Take a look at it. It is run by one of the world's biggest (future) war-mongers and you ask:

"Are we so busy buying fancy cars and large houses to know what we are supposed to be fighting for?"

(So, you would rather fight than buy a fancy car or nice house? ... Interesting. You know, soldiers and innocent people DIE because of this "fight"!)

Tell me, do YOU or anyone else in the U.S actually KNOW what you "are supposed to be fighting for"? NO! All you know is that you are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan - so far (some would like you to believe it is/was all about WoMD and/or oil - come on! when has the government ever been HONEST?). Seriously, why should a country with an ego as big as it has be fighting? What is it for? There's a lot more to it than you will ever realise, I'll bet. Ever noticed how the worst always happens AFTER the U.S sticks it's nose in, not to mention taking the ****-kissing & Yank-loving Prime Minister of the U.K (the coward of the pair) with it!

It makes me laugh that the Americans are still 'bigging themselves' up. I feel sorry for the individuals that are trying to make their honest living a successful one in their lives, just to have old 'Dubya' Bush snatch it away the very second he gives the word.

"It's all for the good of our people" he'll say. Bollocks, is it!!! The "good" is to not have them dragged into it in the first place. And to think that the Americans believe they fought for FREEDOM. That's a joke! Where are you all at now? I'm telling you, the rest of the world saw Bush coming. He's like a fish on a hook - Iraq/Afghanistan/Russia/Iran/China - whoever - throw the line and he bites, taking everyone else in with him. Stop looking at the rest of the world and maybe look closer to home.

So yes, I (sadly) see it coming but it has been coming for years, not just beacuse of Russia/Georgia. It just takes that certain person to throw the line and the other will start chomping!

George W. Bush - The next "Anti-Christ"!
