Hi there
I am getting quite disturbed by the tensions between Russia and America over Syria. With America saying that they will act alone on Syria within the next few days, I know Russia wont like that. Could we be heading for a hot war rather than a cold war this is worse than the cuban missile crisis

Just a load of sabre-rattling. Both sides aren't stupid enough to press the button. We're not in Fat Boy Kim's territory here.


Are We All Doomed? . . . . . Probably!
no I dont think we are heading for a hot spot

I feel sorrier for the eastern europeans: " would you like to be part of the Russian Empire again, you lucky lucky people?"
gordie - I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis; we're still here. :)
Things are hotting up, I agree. Keep calm etc..
I bet it's feeling a bit chilly in The Baltics - Russia would love to have all that sea coast back inside the Motherland .

Would NATO go to war to stop it?

If not then it is exposed as a chocolate fireguard ... and what would be next ... Belarus? Ukraine? Poland?
Are 'We' all doomed?

Possibly.

Or it may not happen in our lifetime but sure as sure as eggs are eggs, it will happen.

Much as he would like to, I cannot see Putin re-annexing the Baltic states.
No.
American-backed forces killed 200 or so Russian mercenaries a few months back and nothing happened.
We um and ah and hesitate about Syria's much vaunted air defences, and yet Israel attacks Damascus and Iranian targets seemingly at will and nothing happens.
Sadly, whatever America now does in Syria will be too little too late.
I guarantee that Russia will huff and puff and do nothing. tho.

Russia likes to talk big and tough but since the fall of the Russian block its military has dwindled (by comparison). The US spend Vastly more on defence and arms in a year than Russia do in two or three years. Can't remember exactly but it is a big difference.

Russia, like North Korea, might flex their forearms now and then but they have the teeny tiny snake hips of a sprinter running away. They are both used to being the bully in the playground that shouts loudest and frightening away the other kids without ever having to lay a punch or fight.
I think we are in the early stages of the wars prophesied in the bible.
All of the bits are coming together quite quickly now, and nobody will be laughing when it gets out of hand and that players kick off.
Well if it is Theland I will probably be a goner on the first wave of nukes living so near a navy port.

But tbh with the amount of prophecies about the end of days and the start of the end of days when the end of days didn't happen I'm willing to wager it will just be a plain old nuke fest with nothing to do with prophesies.

Either way, I won't be laughing.
nah, Trumpster will stick a few missiles up Assad's jacksy and Puters will make a load of noises. Sorted.
Nothing to worry about as yet.

Perhaps it might be good if Putin annexes the Baltic States, Ukraine, Polnad etc - less immigration. - all sorted.
// I think we are in the early stages of the wars prophesied in the bible. //

then if it is prophesied and gonna happen anyway
then there is nothing we can do about it is there ?

( strong predestination - not really Christian doctrine as it conflicts with 'free will'. Muslims really hot on this - oops sorry.....)
// Perhaps it might be good if Putin re-annexes the Baltic States, Ukraine, Poland etc - less immigration. - all sorted.//

foo dat good! yeah - den he stops see - and pulls out of Syria,yeah! - sorted!! - fooooo

"Roll up Roll up for the reopened Gulags - free transport!" could be his rallying cry for rigged elections
"Perhaps it might be good if Putin annexes the Baltic States, Ukraine, Polnad etc - less immigration. - all sorted. "

Surely not! Look at what happened in Syria :-) I think you'd find the immigration problem would get a lot worse, and who's to say that would not be all part of the plan.
He might have trouble annexing Poland, if you look at a map (!)
// the amount of prophecies about the end of days and the start of the end of days when the end of days//

yeah but no but

if you say - "summit is gonna happen - I feel it in my bones!" then you gonna be right at some time or another. You just kinda have to wait long enough - like 2000 y or something
gtrouble annexing poland...

is there a country in the way ? well as stalin said - how many divisions does it have

Poland was part of the Russian Empire for one hundred years as a duchy - ( following the third partition in 1795)
