Well the big favorite is USA vs Iran.
Maybe the invasion of Iraq was a precursor to invadeing Iran. I mean they now have them on 3 sides don't they?
If you read the Bible code books, the bloke and if you bleive, bible, reckon its gonna be with Isreal. SOme big terrorist attack, possibly nuclear is gonna start it off so I reckon Isrela could unveil its not so secret nuke aresnal and start unleashing, but who would they bomb?
I guess Iran is a favorite, the remains of Plaestine perhaps?
I remember seeing someone on tv last year being asked who would be kicking off and they reckoned North Korea. I think they were osychi or something.
So North Korea vs USA and South Korea is another bet.
I do fancy China vs USA as well. I wouldn't like to call that one actually. China are a lot tougher then we think I wager.
Hmmmm
Maybe Germany will try again, 3rd time maybe! Rolling over France like before. I doubt it though.
I've been saying it for ages. If it was over Oil, there are far better countries to screw.
The US would have to be stupid to try again.
I say China. And within 20 years, as Cain said... but by then, the whole Chinese sarmy will be equivilent, or better, than Western tech. Only thing left right now, is finish equiping their army (thats happening bloody fast btw) and upgrade the navy... also well under way. Navy is their weak point, but it's getting damn stronger.
Thing with it being in Taiwan is... the US navy is within the striking distance of the World's Largest Airforce... now with GOOD planes. The Su-27... with some Anti-Ship missiles... The J-10... and thousands of anchient MiG rip-offs. Actually, they are phasing them out as Target Drones now.
BANG! WW3! Judgement day!
it wasn't exactly distasteful... They are understandably pissed off so i made a joke about it
I do have a pretty weird sense of humour though i spose ..i dont mean anything by it :d
Trouble with Leeds fans involved? Good Lord!
The H6D is a specific Anti-Ship plane:
There are a small number of the H5 still in service, mostly being phased out long ago.
The J7A can be armed in the anti-ship role too.
Then there is the improved Q5D, which has replaced (nearly) all the original and rather limited Q5's.
The Su-30MKK can conduct Anti-Ship missions and has a fair range. Can also shoot down pretty much anything it wants to in the air. It also has many Su-27's/J-11's (Licensed Copy) and the J-10 can carry an anti-ship payload.
Let's not forget how China has sold it's soul to the devil, though.
Doubtful. The navy would have alot more to contend with before getting a chance to do that. E.g: Air strikes, China's stupid amount of submarines, albiat mostly diesel electric, they can still sink a ship. And china has extreme amounts of them. It has few Nuclear subs, which is why it is more a defensive navy. They have also ordered more. (Why buy more diesel electric? Why not just Nuclear? Mad people.) Either way, the US Navy would have a hard time. Especially as they are low on funds. See: Debt. HUGE amounts. And also, alot of equipment is tied up in the middle east. Even after a pull-out, they will be fixing and replenishing for ages. Not to mention the US will be not receiving imports from China, meaning back home shops will have large sections empty.
As for Britain? We couldn't afford war with China. South Korea and Japan are hardly great threats to China either.
With support troops from Japan and Sout Korea backing up American ground troops, the Eastern coastlien could be taken. Though all counts on surprise...not something that is likely!
Yes. I am sure the Chinese would NEVER spot a Huge Navy coming at them. There is such a thing as Radar and Satelites and Sonar to spot them before they even get near. China is no longer 30 years out of date. And I wouldn't count on total domination under there. You any idea just HOW MANY subs the Chinese have? It's alright them not being great... but numbers play an important factor, especially in something like Submersive combat. And they have quite a few Sub Killer Heli's.
The Japanese army is alright. It's not great. As for the South Koreans... well... I suppose it's better than nothing.
It seems more to me, a war between Religion in General too, and a society free from Religious conflict where people are free to chose their own beleifs. Or an oppresive society, where no one choses any beleif. Or indeed, anything.
Nuclear subs weapons range means they could wipe out the Chinese Subs, despite superior numbers with out even putting themselves in danger. But more importantly, the America navy carries out routine manouvers in the taiwanese area all the time. China wouldnt even go on alert if an "exercise" was underway! Once the initial strike is underway, the main force could come into mop up.
Pre-emptive attack! The definitive way to victory in most cases!
Although as the american military is piss poor at everthing it has ever done ever in the history of warfare...maybe they would get their asses handed to them after a month long ass raping by the chinese!
You are aware the Chinese Navy is on nearly constant patrol as are their planes in that area, monitoring it the whole time?
The Yanks chased a sub spying on them back to Chinese water last year too.
for some reason no one wants to come clean about the fact that we are now in the time of reaource wars.
can't be bothered looking for a link now but ...china and russia have signed and shook hands on a number of militARY partnershops and science and technolgical ones as well which is seriously worrying america.
that and most of asia are signing up in every which way possible with china ...with super highways connecting many nations directly to china.
oil pipe lines by the dozen coming out of iran into india pakistan and ...china.
don't underestimate chinas now huge asian military might.
The military are like the police for most of these regimes - they are there as much, if not more to keep the domestic population in check as to deter outsiders.
But as Rolly says, once the cupboard gets bare and there is little to trade with, it's gonna be winner takes all knock down drag em out stuff again.
and in more detail by americas oil/political dynasties since the early eighties ...when the talk started of invading iraq and afghanistan.
we are already fighting the first of many resource battles.
water wars are underway and will get very bloody soon.
welcom to the age of shortages.
China is stronger than most folk realise now.
the trouble now is the explosive industrialisation of asia.
it has bought forward the problems of scarcity.
I wonder if China will ever stop exporting to cripple us? Or if they'll put up prices?
God damn I hope I find love before then and failing that , some good sex.
Do you rekcon a WW3 would have any survibvours? I mean would we all die instantly in a hail of nukes our would it be mor eprolonged?
would civilisation be able to be rebuilt?
where would we build it and now?
ignore it and it will go away lol
China might be growing but they still cant compete with the US imo... And their rate of growth is gonna fuck them over soon enough.
Not yet. But in 20 years, if their growth is anything like the last 20, they will translate economic power into military strength.
The sub fights will be interesting, of that I'm certain. If the USA uses a surface navy assault then they are as dumb as they look as a single missile would render those carriers useless. In the future, of course. Right now they'd want to take a teddy bear for their ghetto shrine if they messed with the USA.
Taiwan is pretty tough too, don't forget. They are armed to the teeth with missiles, a decent airforce and navy, not to mention chem and bio weapons to make any landings absolute hell on the PRC. That little nation is a damn fortress.
China's information warfare program may tip the scales in their favour though. Their military has already floated the idea of selling deficient chips to neighbouring states, that could be activated to stop working. Plus their navy and army are much more integrated than the USA is. It would be very...interesting to watch that in action.
I think the talk of war is mute! All the nations of the world are secretly working together due to the Stargate anyway!
so quit the bullshit horroscope crap ok!
Rolly!
You should know better!
