Are We Headed for WW3?

If it comes, I'm afraid no country involved will be as safe as America was during the past world wars. Maybe even your country won't be protected by neutrality since rogue states don't care about neutrality.

@LadyDuck That's wise. Where I live nobody has basements. Back in the fifties during the cold war some few people had bomb shelters in the backyard, but I have no idea is we even have public ones here.

@bagarad No, we will not be safe even in Switzerland, at least every Swiss home as an atomic shelter built in the basement.

That's certainly a point of view I haven't heard yet.

@bagarad Do you recall what JFK did when he found out the CIA went behind his back in the Bay of Pigs invasion? In the meantime, at the April 12 UN Security Council Meeting, Russian Deputy envoy to the Security Council, Vladimir Safronkov, directly spoke to British Ambassador Matthew Rycroft, who had just denounced Russia for backing Bashar al Assad in Syria. Safronkov told Rycroft he was acting to thwart the peace efforts of U.N. Special Envoy for Syria, Steffan De Mistura, and sow confrontation in the Security Council, because, "you are afraid that we might work with the U.S. This is what you lose sleep over." Safronkov nailed the evil nature of the dying British Empire, which is intervening to play off East vs. West, and each against all, in attempt to stay on top of the heap, even to the point of nuclear war. In Moscow, the very thing Britain fears so much, came about on the same day. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, then with President Vladimir Putin. At the joint press conference afterward by Tillerson & Lavrov, it was announced that a "working group" would be established between the two nations, to be made up of envoys that Russia and the United States will designate! At the same time, experts internationally are coming forward one by one to expose the British-orchestrated lies about the Syrian government gassing its people. This backs up the growing demand for a real investigation of the charges against Syria, on which pretext the April 4 U.S. bombing of the Shayrat airbase in Syria was done. Russia is filing for such an investigation with The Hague. The British have already responded to that, with Rycroft announcing they will "be at The Hague" opposing an investigation. At the same time, a powerful study was issued, refuting the four-page White House document recently released, which falsely asserted that Syria is conclusively guilty of using chemical weapons on its people. Theodore Postol, a technology expert, Professor Emeritus of M.I.T., wrote a 14-page "A Quick Turnaround Assessment" of the four-page White House April 11 paper; Postol included satellite images and detailed analyses. He states that, "I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the [White House] document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the U.S. government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Shaykhun, Syria...on April 4, 2017." Postol's refutation is now getting international attention. You will see, the truth of the matter will come out & the schemers & plotters will be exposed for what they really are & the essential prosecutions made & then we can get on with collective, collaborative infrastructure building. The current British-controlled education systems of both our countries will be scrapped & future generations will be taught the real history of our countries in context with world history so they will know how to recognize this sort of thing & where to look should it start again.

@veganbliss I guess I'll wait until I see the evidence you're talking about before I make up my mind.

@bagarad I am afraid I get worried far too much on this subject. I do think that something needs to be done about Syria and their attacking their own people. NATO needs to step up.

I can understand your concern. War is terrible, but sometimes appeasement is worse and the result is eventually enslavement or war on our own shores.

@Shellyann36 I hope they do help with this.

@bagarad The division has started.

@allknowing What seems to be the opinion in India?

I hope it doesn't get that far, but is the rest of the world supposed to sit by while more countries develop and use weapons of mass destruction like nerve gas and other chemicals and rogue countries like North Korea develop nuclear weapons and missiles to deliver them to our countries? Do we just sit back and wait? Obama supposedly talked the Syrians into getting rid of all their chemical weapons and Russia said they would make sure it happened. Guess what. They just proved they still have and will use them.

China and North Korea are almost the only threats not over there in some way.

We are used to people and most nations acting with respect for the preservation of civilization. Armies of soldiers are happy to be martyred by dying in battle don't care about their lives or those of their civilians as long as their agenda goes forward. We also have some rogue nations that don't need a cause for provocation and just want to prove they can also be as powerful as larger nations like the US and China.

No one ever really wins a war. The people always lose during war time.

I guess time will tell. I hope we did the right thing. But I'm praying for the safety of Christians who might be victims of their revenge this weekend of Holy Week.

I didn't realize there was doubt chemical weapons were used. The doubt seems to be about who actually owned or used them.

I do believe in Biblical prophecy, but not with how many people interpret it beyond what is clearly spelled out. Many who try to put a date to the end of the world have already spectacularly been proved wrong.

It should terrify everyone.
