a_skeleton_02,
Your nuke post was spot on but the second...not so much. First, Russia's economy is shitty and they aren't starting any actions that are not within their traditional scope of influence. So, economic loss is not a reason for total war. Second, the US and China will never lose the economic war because both are just too big to fail outside of a catastrophic event that would effect far more than us. Something like a deep impact type of event. Our proxy wars are always ongoing and there is always another that can be started. So, no one is going to lose the proxy war because there is always another place to have one.
Your immigration comment is full blown tinfoil shit. The powers of Europe decided this was in their best interest and they helped push this disaster on themselves. There is also a large portion of the population that is not ok with permanent Syrian refugees. The more I think on it, the dumber it sounds. In several ways, a poorer Europe would help us maintain dominance if we wanted to go tinfoil. The only thing Arab majority countries have inflicted on the world is a shitty religion and fanatics.
Russia lost almost everything when the did the perestroika. Look at them today. Lost allies, changed systems, whatever, it can all be built up quickly.
