Good morning, Off Topic. So let’s cut to the chase: World War 3. Who are the sides, what are the conflicts, what sets this whole thing off, and of course, who’s gonna win? Who’s gonna lose? I got the “world war” fever and I hope you got it too.
So it’s looking like in the Allied corner we have the U.S., Ukraine, and Israel and in the Axis corner, Russia, Iran, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and China. Who else is likely to get in on this? Will Türkiye pick a side? Will the European nations commit boots to ground? Will the mighty Panzers bellow and growl as they trundle eastwards once more?
And what of Africa? Shall the forces of Niger’s coup join with the Axis as well? What of ECOWAS, the rest of the African Union, or the Arab League?
And finally, is there a secret ending to all of this perhaps? Is the Fourth or maybe Fifth Comintern waiting around the corner, promising to shine forth once more? Will China backstab Russia and institute secret communism? Will India rise up and lead the Non-Aligned Movement in a revolt against the north? Will ASEAN strike down the Chinese ships with their submarines? Will Japan remobilize? Will Korea reunite, brains and brawn, and conquer all?
And Venezuela. We mustn’t forget Venezuela. They and Cuba could easily “sneak” into the U.S. from below, possibly with Mexico’s help. They are saying they need to fortify the Mexico border even harder, a long standing Democrat policy that the even the GOP agree is wise (and bipartisanship is so important).
And finally, nukes. We will get answers to some big questions, like “are nukes really all that bad?” Maybe some new startups can solve the Nuke problem. And make a little cash on the side.
Come on, let’s hear your takes.
