that's a fair enough statement except for the statement "We're not perfect, but we are much better than some of the alternatives."

I wouldn't abandon my country, but I would try to change how they address something if we are wrong in what we are doing, but this is my home, where my family is, and I will defend it with everything inside of me.
We're not perfect, but we are much better then some of the alternatives.

hostile aliens are about the only thing that could necessitate a world war at this point.
anything less than that or people with a time machine; world war is impossible.

it does make sense. nuclear war makes world war impossible without destroying human civilization.
the people that manipulate the world, manipulate it with money and arms.
they are not about to destroy the whole system.
what good is money if it's worthless.
what good is a trillion dollars and a chateau in france if you're climbing thru rubble looking for roaches to eat.
it would literally take a hitler to rise in power either in the u.s., china or russia to destroy the world like many believe world war 3 would be like.

Don't be fooled by the last 60 years of relative peace. We were just as likely to fight Russia as we were Japan or Germany before the last world war. Japan attacked our biggest base and destroyed half our fleet in one morning and that was one incident one day that started world war II.
Right now Russia is trying to make a little money off the conflict just like we are, but if we attack the wrong nation we will have to expect retaliation from Russia. This time our mainland is not safe from enemy forces and we will be fighting for our lives here instead of watching propaganda films from the MSM.
The writing is on the wall. The globalists have their pawns in place and the world has already begun the baby steps toward ww3. The normal players are spouting off threats daily, but worse than that, the bigger governments of Russia and China are allying. We are actively flexing our muscle in front of North Korea to instigate that fight and actively instigating the Syria and Iranian fights. Russia says any US involvement in Iran will cause a subsequent Russian involvement. That means war!
Russians are some tough bastards and they don't F around. They have some pretty advanced stuff and China is in their back pocket. With their military leading Chinese grunts on the mainland and Russian ships and aircraft pounding the coastline we have major problems. If they resort to nukes game over.
All the information I needed was the picture of Obama sitting next to Putin while Putin gave him the cold shoulder in obvious defiance and superiority. Putin is confident in his stance and knows he has all the support around the world he needs to break us. We have pissed off the entire planet with our careless actions worldwide. We are no longer a quiet nation who will do what it takes to defend herself if provoked. We are now a country hell bent on war.

I see what you're saying now.
My bad.
It was an issue of semantics.
Still, there are holes in your argument. Even if WW3 wasn't called as such until after it was over (this may or may not be true), doesn't mean it couldn't be happening right now non-physically, and someone just happens to see this more clearly and call it out.
The fact that the majority would be in denial, or unable to see it, wouldn't make the individual who does and calls it as such a liar.
I thought you meant something else, though. I thought you meant that the possibility of a WW3 in the future only existed in the minds of liars right now. That part would make no sense.
my only real argument is that the people that everyday speak of such a thing as WWIII are most likely part of the groups that would like to start such a conflict. while the world fights, they will hide and use the opportunity to enrich themselves. in the chaos, they will become your new overlords. its the way they do their thing.
noone else even knows what they are talking about.
they are the rumor and fear mongers who's task it is to create awareness of such an event while the people they condemn are the ones trying to prevent any such thing.
if such a conflict were possible, it would have already begun. WWIII is impossible.

DUDE, GIVE IT A REST.
you don't know the future. you don't know if WWIII is going to occur.
I once heard a saying that went like this, "Ignorance begets more confidence than knowledge" and we can sure see what is begotten here.
Seriously, just stop already, what do you have, a time machine?edit on 27-6-2012 by Gwampo because: (no reason given)

If you're talking about the Middle East, no matter what reason we use, NOTHING will change over there. Our soldiers will be dying over there for nothing! Peace in the Middle East is impossible. 5,000 years of bloodshed has proven this.
The US has been pillaging Central America, South America and the Middle East for a very long time. The American machine was built for war and pillaging and that's all it can do. Sometimes this pillaging takes place on the battlefield, sometimes it takes place at the IMF and World Bank but make no mistake, it's all the same game. No troops since WW2 have fought for our freedom. We can't stop this perpetual war machine until our troops wake up and refuse to feed the corruption.
If you want to stop the bloodbath in the Middle East, you have to stop Israeli theft of Palestinian land and the return of land and property already stolen.
No war is possible and everyone knows it.
