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.
I hope you are right. But am not so sure. Especially if Japan remilitarizes in response to North Korea, and honestly I think they have every right to.
That alone would cause Chinese concerns and could cause them to do something stupid.
The current Israeli conflict is a ponder keg ready to explode. I already what sides could be involved.
US, Israel, Austrailia, Japan, S. Korea, India, Great Britain. (And probably Canada)
China, Russia, N. Korea, Iran, Syria, Pakistan.
Not sure where most of Europe will be yet. but like I said I see some major players gravitating toward each other.
I rhink Iraq and Aghanistan will be pretty neutral/leaning our way since we already have a military presence in both nations. It wouldnt surprise me if more battles took place in both these nations though.
Mexico, might be in Civil war.
Ive actually just thought up what I could see happening.
The current Israel/Hezzbollah conflict with continue until the psycho leader of Iran makes a move or Israel makes a move against Iran because of their behind the scenes interference in the conflict. After all Hezzbollah practically is the Iranian military.
Naturally, the situation will be taken to the Security council, where nothing will happen, and we will have to make the choice to initiate regime change with anyone else who joins us (Ultimately I think this is going to have to happen sooner or later at this point even if im wrong about what initiates it. Its not a matter of if its a matter of when).
While we are distracted with Iran, (And still with Iraq and Aghanistan) North Korea will assume we are spread too thin and act. That will start a military front in both the Middle east and in Korea.
N. Koreas actions will initiate the remilitarization of Japan, who will give us additional manpower to handle North Korea. However, this will make China nervous and cause them to send troops into North Korea as well. They have no love for the Japanese and any Japanese military action that close to their border could easily make them move.
Once this happens we basically will have all out war. If the United Nations still exists it will be absolutely worthless (not that its worth much now) but no one will follow the charter anymore which means every nation for themselves. They can either ally together or try to stay out of it, but I am willing to bet there will be war all over the world.
If that happens and we are on several fronts I could see China trying to conquor Taiwan as well while we are distracted.
I am still not sure how Russia will get involved with things, but I dont think they will be on our side. At best I see them as neutral and I dont think they will be. Something will happen that gets them involved.
As for Europe. I am not sure how thing will end up but i see alot of civil strife within each of the nations. Especially with the high muslim population within some of the nations. My guess is we will probably have to liberate France again.
Of course it is pretty early in the morning and i am tired. and just thought this stuff off the top of my head. so i could be compeltely wrong. Like I said I hope your right. But i dont think we are as far away as you might believe.
