Niccolò Matteo said:The altercations between Israel and all other Middle-Eastern countries is really no more than an extension of World War 1.
If this is WWIII, then truly the world is a dull place.

No freaking way. This is a local conflict, and it's gonna stay that way. I don't think Israel is going to attack Syria, and even if Syria were to attack Israel I doubt that anyone beyond Iran and a few ragtags would get involved. At least I'm sure that China isn't going to invade Japan, Taiwan, or South Korea.Hobbit said:I think the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers is analagous to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. I think Hezbollah will launch missiles at Tel Aviv, forcing Israel to start targeting Iranian rockets in transit to Lebanon. I think Syria and Iran will enter the conflict against Israel. Jordan and Egypt may follow suit, along with a lot of ununiformed combatants from countries like Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, and the UAE. With our alliance with Israel, the threat of Islam united, and our presence in the Middle East, we would be forced to enter on the side of Israel. Kim Jong-Il then stands a good possibility of taking advantage of our distraction and invading South Korea. China will help them if they do, then go after Japan and Taiwan. We've got a lot of ambitious psychos out there, and they all look ready to make their move.
Maybe I'm just paranoid because I'm draft age, but that's what I think stands a good chance of happening, and if it does, every male between 18 and 40 who's medically fit will go to war, just like the last time we had a world war.

Gingrich Says World War III Has Begun
Iran's Hezbollah: We Welcome World War III
World War III has begun, and the nations leadership is failing to deal with this reality, former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich concludes.
Appearing on NBCs "Meet the Press" with Tim Russert Sunday, Gingrich explained that "today is not the fifth day of the war, its the 58th year of the effort by those who want to destroy Israel. As Ahmadinejad, the head of Iran, says, he wants to defeat the Americans and eliminate Israel from the face of the earth. So we should not see this event in isolation. There is an . . . Iran/Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas alliance trying to destroy Israel.
"The Israelis withdrew from Gaza to create the circumstance of peace. The Israelis withdrew from south Lebanon to create the circumstance of peace, Gingrich continued. "They now have a thousand missiles fired from Gaza, theyve had hundreds of missiles fired from south Lebanon. You clearly have Iranian involvement. There are at least 400 Iranian guards in south Lebanon. Apparently it was an Iranian missile fired by Iranians which hit an Israeli warship yesterday. The United States should be saying to Syria and Iran, 'South Lebanon is going to be cleared out. We are for Israel and the Lebanese government breaking the back of Hezbollah, getting rid of all 10,000 to 13,000 missiles, and we will decisively stop any effort by Syria and Iran to intervene.'
Gingrich says the current crisis facing Israel is part of a larger world war that involved the United States.
"I mean, this is absolutely a question of the survival of Israel, but its also a question of what is really a world war, Gingrich said.
He then cited a litany of events that confirm this conclusion.
"North Korea firing missiles. We say therell be consequences, there are none. North Koreans fire seven missiles on our Fourth of July; bombs going off in Mumbai, India; a war in Afghanistan with sanctuaries in Pakistan . . . the Iran/Syria/Hamas/Hezbollah alliance.
In addition, he said "there is the war in Iraq funded largely from Saudi Arabia and supplied largely from Syria and Iran.
Other evidence of the war, Gingrich argues, includes:
The British home secretary saying that there are 20 terrorist groups with 1,200 terrorists in Britain.
Seven people in Miami videotaped pledging allegiance to al-Qaida.
Eighteen people in Canada being picked up with twice the explosives that were used in Oklahoma City, with an explicit threat to bomb the Canadian parliament, and saying theyd like to behead the Canadian prime minister.
In New York City, reports that in three different countries people were plotting to destroy the tunnels of New York.
Gingrich explained: "We are in the early stages of what I would describe as the third world war, and frankly, our bureaucracies arent responding fast enough. We dont have the right attitude about this . . . And frankly, the Israelis have every right to insist that every single missile leave south Lebanon and that the United States ought to be helping the Lebanese government have the strength to eliminate Hezbollah as a military force, not as a political force in the parliament, but as a military force in south Lebanon.
Asked host Tim Russert "This is World War III?
"I believe if you take all the countries I just listed, that youve been covering, put them on a map, look at all the different connectivity, youd have to say to yourself this is, in fact, World War III, Gingrich said.
What, a few scattered terrorist groups manage to pull off a half dozen attacks globally over the course of two years? It's not a World War until Russia and/or China get involved.Bonnie said:What about in the broader context?

In theory, but you're not going to get more than half the world's population involved in a war without some serious s**t coming from Russia and/or China.Hobbit said:Russian and China don't even account for a full third of the world's population, and Russia's going to get into it. Tell me, if over half of the world's population goes to war and China and Russia aren't a part of it, is it a world war?

Why is Russia going to get involved?
