    Excited is not an appropriate word to use for referring to events that will cause so many people to lose their lives. It will be the result of a sad sad chain of events that I will keep up with via my normal news channels.

    Actually their missiles are to threaten us from attacking, Trump the stupid twat is talking first strike which would cause all kinds of chaos and bullshit.

    Pretty much all the American people were pro war in 1776 and 1861.

    How can it be the second war when the first one never ended?

    The EU has a choice, either fully merge into one Franco-Germany controlled country or slowly fracture apart.

    Not true. Many Americans were indifferent during the Revolution, and during the Civil War.

    China's top trading partners all all US allies except for Russia. China gets natural resources from Russia and makes them into marketable goods.

    N Korea is never going to start a war unless this list changes drastically. China will crush N Korea like a flea to keep from losing all this business.

    Good, then China will probably help the US in defeating North Korea since being friends with them isn't economically viable and China isn't really communist anymore.

    No, but they are frighteningly isolationist in many ways. China wants to be its own little world, it seems like. (Much like a lot of vocal Americans think the USA should be.)

    I'd be fine with that, a resurrection of the Frankish Empire would be glorious.

    Yes.

    There should be a poll.

    but yeah, those poor people deal with a lot of shit, that is uneeded simple because their tyrant goes unchecked.

    I have made polls before and hardly anyone votes on them.

    And those poor people have to deal with starving to death because the North Korean government is totally inept.

    Prussian's power was based on its military, modern Germany's power is purely based on its economy. France would become responsible for the military power of that "Empire".
