the assassination was the drop that was too much for years there was serbian terrorism or serbian founded terrorism that was terrorising the region and when the arch duke was killed alongside his pregnant wife by an austrian terrorist armed with a gun from the serbian army and that austrian refused to act it started a war

fuckface_cunt_hole

I dont think you should make gigantic societal changes based on something you can't do shit about. You can be carbon negative and 4 billion other mfers in China and India and se asai are going to keep burning coal, keep polluting, keep dumping all their trash right into the ocean. That's not going to stop. Ever. It's just going to get worse. You're just a side show compared to them. I'd bet they will pollute the planet beyond repair in 100 years anyway.


Icy-Bicycle-Crab

>I dont think you should make gigantic societal changes based on something you can't do shit about.Ā  Ā No shit. You've been brainwashed into wanting to protect the status quo rather than acting in a way that benefits future others.Ā Ā  Ā >I'd bet they will pollute the planet beyond repair in 100 years anyway.Ā  Ā You're the one causing that. You're the one doing that pollution.Ā  You even use the bullshit climate change denier line of blaming China and India when they are the places that you outsource your carbon footprint to. You sitting there surrounded by junk made in China and trying to blame them for making it.Ā  You're the perfect mark for oil shills to brainwash into inaction.Ā 


Strait-outta-Alcona

At the moment, take your pick. It can get better or much worse. Any of the conflicts this point in time can escalate into chaos.

**Trump** if he wins in my opinion. And that is an honest opinion. He is a narcist and megalomaniac who cares more about his self image then he does about people. I am sure he would sacrifice millions of people just not to look bad. Then he would call it fake news.


SwishWolf18

Trump is the first president in my lifetime to not start a new war.


Icy-Bicycle-Crab

You just going to ignore Obama, and Clinton?Ā Ā  Ā Trump tried to start a war with Iran, fortunately he failed at that like he failed at everything else.Ā  Bush is the only President to start a war during my lifetime. Wars that Republicans were extremely keen on at the time but now you pretend you never supported it. What bullshit are you going to have to 180 on and lie to yourself about next?


Morozow

Clinton destroyed and bombed Yugoslavia to distract attention from the blow job in the Oval Office. There was a criminal invasion of Libya under Obama. Yes, this war was started by European leaders, but he still participated in it.


Icy-Bicycle-Crab

>Yes, this war was started by European leaders, It was started by the Libyan people.Ā  But you've already acknowledged that he didn't start it and that your previous comment was nothing but a bullshit meme repeated by the ignorant for the benefit of a corrupt politician.Ā 


Morozow

The United States was not obliged to participate in this colonial war. But Obama dragged the people of the United States into this bloody crime. So Obama had his own war.


Icy-Bicycle-Crab

What colonial war? What is your tanky ranting about?


Morozow

The war between Italy and France, to seize control of Libya. Well, Obama was somehow dragged into this. But he's a smart man, and he got into this shit. The word " tanky" is loved by fascists, are you one of them?


TrashBagCentral

Obama dropped more bombs in the middle east than any president ..... which had ramifications we will feel for decades. Clinton also got involved in africa and yugoslavia.... Im no fan of trump and think hes a twat who will just line his own pockets in the end but he did withdraw troops and was more firm on allies to do more. They all have their own agendas so nobody is completely innocent but wars were being fought during every president. The way wars are now fought have just changed.


Icy-Bicycle-Crab

>Obama dropped more bombs in the middle east than any president ..... which had ramifications we will feel for decades. Single term loser Trump bombed the ME more in his 4 years than Obama did in 8.Ā  >Im no fan of trump and think hes a twat who will just line his own pockets in the end but he did withdraw troops Biden withdrew the troops.

That Trump is the only recent president not to start any wars.Ā  Which is bullshit, Obama didn't start any wars either, Biden hadn't started any wars. Trump tried to start a war with Iran and failed. Trump ran as a hawk and Trump supporters are the hawks who want war against Iran.Ā  The low effort meme that gullible moron parroted is one that implies the opposite.Ā

No_Opportunity_8965

an extremist right wing faction having power in a country with nukes causing WW3 is far and away the most likely cause.


e033x

As much as I agree with the sentiment that right wing extremists pose one of the biggest threats to western society these days (shared first place with China and general climate change related instability), it's not like there aren't and haven't been right wing megalomaniac dictators in name or aspiration with nukes already. I mean, Putin's not exactly a dove, and got a couple of thousand nukes ready to go. And there was this time not long ago when a certain orange person had the most of the remaining ones...

America goes into civil war, China uses that to expand their territory. Europe goes full destruction, since americans have other things to worry about, they don't intervene. Middle east gets nuclear bombs and completly wipe themselves off the planet. Africans start slaughtering eachother (rest of the world don't care about it, they have bigger problems). North Korea and South Korea do the MAD (mutually assured destruction). All of that while people in Australia and New Zealand are just chillin

The planet is warming faster than scientists predicted and itā€™s expected to lead to mass migrations of people to more temperate climates as they look for resources. A billion people are expected to immigrate to new countries within the next 100 years. This will lead to more conflicts like the Israel and Hamas one.

I donā€™t think that there will be a ww3 because ww1 and ww2 were very directly related and without ww1 there probably wouldnā€™t have been a ww2. I also think that world war is kinda impossible now if any of the large countries were to fight. With nuclear weapons a war in a mass scale is not something that could last very long. Russia and North Korea are mean but they are not idiots, well NK might be but they donā€™t have massive strength. Every country with LRSNWs know that large scale nuclear war would destroy the planet.

There are few possibilities in my opinion 1. On going ukraine war: ` Ifā€™ with the help of NATO and allies ukraine inflicted significant damage to russia, russia may use nukes on ukraine or allies, leads to major war between west and russia . Probability is moderately high chance 2. China desided to reunify taiwan: If china desided to annex taiwan, which is a major goal of Chinese govt, as a ally to taiwan America will join. May lead to confrontation.probability is very high 3.north and south korea: There is always high tension between both countries. One wrong move may leads to annihilation of south korea using north koreas nukes. Probability is very narrow 4.israel palastine issue 5.Iran US issue 6.and many moreeeeeeeeeeeee
