Thanks, laserjeff. I appreciate the compliments.
We grew up during a time when America was like the safe "home base" in a game of tag. As long as we were on American soil, we were safe from invasion and attack.
I see that changing, rapidly. Our bravado and image as the Might is Right crowd is going to screw us in the end, in the worst way possible, while the idiots who did this will skate away to another country with their billions, safe and sound.
It is a terrifying thought.

The problem with NATO attacking Syria is a small matter of a pact Syria has with Russia. Two Nuclear powers going head to head? This is probably the biggest test of the NATO pact to date. I am sure that if Syria declared war on Turkey, the treaty will kick in within a blink of an eye.
I seriously do not know of anyone who would want a Nuclear conflict. As I said previously it would be the end of life as we know it!!

Great idea! So let's stop interfering with them and telling them what to do
Excellent. I vote that we stop giving 1/5 of our foreign aid to Israel, so they can do what they want, only not with our tax dollars. As long as we support them, we are entangled, which is a very bad thing.

I think WW3, is going to be over food, and resources.. Or after a global market collapse..
This attention on Syria, Israel, Turkey, the middle east.. Meh...
Yet of course if your into all that revelation end times crap, then you cannot wait for Turkey to strike Syria, hard enough conventionally to get the Federation of Russia, to get involved...
I just do not see nukes flying over Syria... Even if Iran, started some bullcrap.. If anything it will be NATO, using tactical nukes on these pathetic armies, in order to save the lives of our troops...
I agree with the OP thou, to a point. Israel has enough bombs and military technology to take care of herself.. especially when they are rattling their sabre's...
as far as a all out Nuclear Holocaust...
I think that Scenario is based off of lacking resources... Which will be inevitable unless we work on getting of this rock we call EARTH.. Sadly thou, the majority of our race, is more worried about watching american idol, then exploring space, or even colonizing another planet, for our survival, as a species...

And what if ????, there cannot be a nuclear war as such?
That the devices will only IMPLODE at very very specific timing in relationship to the geometry between the suns field and the Earths field.
Thus only those who have access to this timing could ever implode such a device, and that basically the whole nuclear war stuff is a huge bluff?

I can... but it is the most idiotic thing that can ever happen. If the powers-that-be really want to rule the world, all they'll get in an ash-ridden wasteland with poisoned water, poisoned soil, and poisoned air. May as well just crash into the sun and get it over with.

Surely if it ever got to a stage where we had a world army it would be redundant
