quote]5A) Riots in Europe over the 'aggressore Isreal', some EU nations may decide to reneg on Nato obligations because of internal problems and
protests. I see Norway, Spain and Germany, likely France being the ones to opt out.
I don't think Germany would back out. There are centuries of hate between the two countries and Russia remember each and every occassion. As well
as Germany fo what Stallin did to the German people when Russia took East Germany.
5B) Canada's minority government is likely to honor it's treaties, but the NDP and the Bloc Quebecious both hate the US and will likely try
and block Canada's entry into the war. The Liberals have enough votes to counter the NDP and Bloc and keep the Conservatives in power but they
dislike and bash Americans all the time. They like Obama and idolize Europe, they could go either way.
Can't dissagree!
6) China starts a cyber war with the US to try and disrupt the US and it's allies. I don't think China will side with either faction, but is
likely to wait till both sides are exhausted and weakened before moving against both. If it sides with Russia then it will likely be a very nasty
war.
China is in a position to be a world power, but, it still needs Russia to dominate. China will side with Russia, no questions about it.
7) Either the US or Russia could launch a Nuke against China if they felt that China's cyber war was weakening them too much. But I think that
if Iran has a nuke they will use it on Isreal in the opening phases of the war to try and end it quickly.
I honestly don't think China is concerned with Russia and their technological abilities. Russia's primary force is 20, 30 and 40 years old and
their form of GPS is extremely limited compared to the US.
8) Other countries use the widening war to settle old scores and attack there neighbours. Much of Africa becomes a war zone of old scores being
settled.
THis one I probably agree the most. You will see just a ton of little civil wars between cultures. Christians, Prodestents, Croations, Serbs, Turks,
Kurds, Sunni, Shiitte. The list is just too numerous.
9) If Russia strikes against the US with Nukes then we will see a whole new widening of the war and a bunch of violations of the Geneva
convention.
I still think we could fend off a large scale nuclear attack from Russia. Russia on the other hand won't have near the deffensive ability so I think
this would remain for the most part conventional.
10) I think that if Russia and China team up and enough US allies opt out then the US could escalate to using Nukes because it won't have many
other options.
Yes, it would be bad but there are enough allies to handle the large numbers. Regardless, there would be a LARGE loss of life.
