I'll believe that when we start to see missiles getting prepared for "stand by" or armies getting on high alert. Until then, i'll be farming herbs in WoW!

Russia is trying to get the stupid side of the US population to vote for their puppet, Trump. Some of Trump's plans include working to disband NATO, which is one of the few things preventing Russia from grabbing even more land.
We are probably heading towards another cold war, and while that is a bit scary, it still wouldn't put us closer than ever to a nuclear war. It puts us back to where we were 40-50 years ago, and, despite what you'll hear from the pro-Putin apologists, it is primarily due to Russia's aggression.

So you're saying we're closer than parking nukes right off each others borders?

Each day we are closer to a nuclear war than we have ever been because we have never been in a nuclear war !

We're at 3 minutes to midnight at the moment, and have been for several years. Originally Posted by Selastan

I really can't imagine Russia starting a war with a country that spends 12 times as much money on its armed forces annually.

And that's your link to the nuclear war. Jesus, my high school debate students could knock that out while prepping for a real debate. In other words, anyone at the UN could put us on the brink of nuclear war? And how are you seeing a no-fly zone leading to nuclear war? Originally Posted by Aussiedude

Yeaaah I don't believe that. I just watched a movie called the Sum of all Fears, and even in that scenario the leaders were extremely reluctant to set off a nuclear war.
I mean, it would affect the entire planet, their families, friends, their future etc etc...
