So, just out of curiosity - what does everyone think the next major war and subsequent quagmire will be for the U.S.? Syria or North Korea?
Syria’s a strong contender because anytime you have a.) pictures of dead babies being splashed across the news 24-7 and b.) some dictator being referred to as “Hitler,” or “worse than Hitler,” that’s usually a sign said dictator’s country is going to be treated to a massive shock-and-awe campaign.
On the other hand…China has recently made some moves that made it seem like they have no interest in intervening in North Korea should war break out. For example, they are now accepting coal shipments from the U.S. rather than N.K. There’s a flotilla of warships headed to the region, and even though we almost always have a flotilla of warships prowling around somewhere, this seems a little more serious than usual.
It aint gonna be Syria. All that bomb dropping and “tough words” is bullshit posturing. Trump and Putin are still in cahoots. Dropping bombs on an abandoned air strip that you gave Russia 24 hour notice on is fucking stupid and disingenuous. If we were really going to do soemthing to Syria Putin would certainly retaliate.
If you look at actions over speech Trump is doing EVERYTHING republicans have wanted for years. So even though you have dishonest dickheads like john McCain and other notables saying that “I don’t agree with trump or anything he’s doing” they still fall in line when the votes are needed (health care aside but thats more out of self preservation because the townhalls have gotten real). Republicans have held a hate for North Korea for years now and have wanted a war for a long time.
North Korea will be targeted. Trump will drop a nuke no doubt. The Chinese will respond and then that will play out. Depending how long that takes Iran will be next. While all the repubs “bitch and moan” about Trump they wont do fuck all to stop him.
I don’t think USA wants to sink their teeth into Syria. You got ISIS, Russia, civil war… and to throw our jizz into the mix would be just a mess.
NK on the other hand has taken their dick measuring weapons program far enough. Which makes for a perfect opportunity for Trump to have his OWN dick measuring contest, and we all know how rich white draft dodgers gotta have the biggest dong in the room. Not to mention the eagerness to have other peoples children killed in battle, never their own of course.
I think Trump is crazy enough to destabilize that part of the world. China will probably sit back and watch their own backyard burn because for some reason they’re too stupid to deal with their drunken autistic cousin on that peninsula.
