The NEXT war

Hmm, let's take a look at the troubled spots in the world...

Let's start with Europe, I seriously doubt that Russia would invade Ukraine, enless Ukraine does something really bad to Russia or in Russia's point of view. In the Caucasus, i'm thinking that Armenia-Azerbaijan's ceasefire will last throughout the year, Georgia is to dismantled and weak to do anything.

In the Balkans, the only troubled spot is Kosovo, and i doubt anything would happen there as Serbia wants to join the EU.

Now in the Americas, Nothing in North America except perhaps America invading another country, the Caribean should be peaceful, Central America i'm not sure of the situation, but i don't think any country is invading another any time soon. In South America, Chavez is to much of a p-ussy to invade colombia, only way a war would start there would be if America gives tons of weapons to colombia and Colombia invades Venezuela. Elsewhere in south America, perhaps a civil war in Bolivia and a small war between Ecuador and Colombia.

In Africa, the same old coups and stuff.

In the Middle East, Israel-Gaza + anything else that get's involved, Continued Iraq andd Afghanistan, Besides that i think it will be a peaceful year for the Middle East. In Central Asia i don't see anything happening, Perhaps Russia invading Kazakhstan but i seriously doubt that. In Southern Asia, Sri Lanka is wrapping up there conflict so i'll say no they won't be fighting throughout the entire year, then there is the Pakistan-India hting but i think both countries are to p ussy to fight each other. In East Asia, i don't see nothing, i doubt China will invade Taiwan. In SouthEast Asia, The usual struggle in Combodia, and perhaps some important moments in Thai Democracy. Perhaps something will want to gain independence from Indonesia but i never know who.

Oh and the Kiwi's will invade them Kangaroo's.
 
Russia invading Kazakhstan??? theyve never been more friendly than they are now... frankly I think its mroe likely than Russia ionvaeed Irealnd

That is because Kazakhstan is playing this smart and Russia decided to try to do something similar to Kazakhstan like they are doing to Belarus rather then Invading it. If it was a different case then invasion is possible.
 
No. Small regional climatic disruption, perhaps. Global impact? No.
What are you talking about? The coming Mongolia-Austria war is bound to lead to nuclear winter, despite the notable fact that neither side has nukes..
 
Uganda and Congo. The northeast quarter of Uganda is essentially controlled by the LRA and they are funded by the Congolese. Uganda currently is stepping up military involvment in the area, and there has been some shooting across Lake Albert. The place is like a tinderbox; ready to ignite at any minute.

My out-there prophecy is that Uganda will win.

Hmm.... a friend asked me this very question over the weekend, and having thought it over, while I dont think its imminent, a war of some sort between India and Pakistan seems inevitable to me over the next 5 years. I hope I'm wrong, but Pakistan seems to be getting worse and worse, who knows how much of its territory it actually controls, and given the combination of the ISI, an army which seems barely loyal to the state, and nutcase religious militants who would probably benefit form a war with India, it seems just a matter of time to me.

This is what happens when you use tainted drugs. Either that or you're part of the global Zionist conspiracy, and these came up in the last planning session. How in Quetzalcoatl's name did you come up with all that?
 
Iran vs Israel (and/or US), Pakistan vs India (and/or US)
 
I personally think that a big flare up in Somalia is probable, considering that the Ethiopians are leaving.

What else... maybe a large scale US operation inside Waziristan.

Always the potential that Israel decides to bomb Iranian nuclear sites of course.
 
In SouthEast Asia, The usual struggle in Combodia, and perhaps some important moments in Thai Democracy. Perhaps something will want to gain independence from Indonesia but i never know who.

Last I heard the Thai-Cambodian border is still closed due to the skirmish at Preah Vihear. Bad for business and ASEAN. Given the kind of stability (or lack of) in Thailand and nationalistic ramblings on both sides God knows when this is going to be resolved.

Eritrea. Those guys are tough, tenacious, fairly well equipped and preformed admirably against Ethiopia in a far from even contest. The Eritrean military would be more than capable of taking on Ethiopia. It would however have inordinate problems when the Americans begin to sell Ethiopia weapons. There is not much in the way of possible gains for Eritrea in terms of what could be achieved in victory, when there exists the very real possibility of being re-annexed in defeat.

Thailand and Cambodia... could happen if the Thais descend into another bout of political instability. If the current King was dead and his son on the throne then you could discount the Royal family's ability to bridge the divide. Cambodia would have a chance then. I don't however see the military listening to a civilian government over that kind of provocation. Its to much of a free agent to be reigned in for anything less than victory. It would topple whichever government was fool enough to tell it to stop.

Israel has an air force, though it doesn't have the bunker busters needed to penetrate Iranian Nuke bunkers.

Iran with nukes, Israel with an American air-force... America with bunker busters... you get the picture.

Pakistan vs India

I don't think so, it's been tense, but not that tense. The civilian government in Pakistan if it has anything approaching a brain is currently either telling the ISI not to do anything, or pleading to that effect, or maybe making moves to reign it in. The likelihood of the last option... is negligible one can hope. The simple fact is Pakistan would lose, like its lost every other time, for a military state it has a horrible record.

The ISI is the real danger. The army brass would not side with the Jihadis. They hate each other with a passion, on the one side stands secular nationalism with growing religious overtones and on the other stands absolute religious fanaticism, the one does not go in hand with the other. Secular nationalists and Islamic fundamentalists do not have a happy relationship in the Islamic world. Suharto found them useful only because they hated communism more than his nationalism etc.

The current government if it can show any sort of leadership and initiative will I hope provide a rallying point for moderate Muslims, secular nationalists and all those who find fundamentalism distasteful. I doubt they will... but one can hope.

The US refused to give Israel the bunker busters needed.
