Q: What will you do if WWIII breaks out?
If WWIII happens, it would likely be China, Russia, North Korea and probably the Islamic terrorists vs. Europe, America and basically the rest of the world, so would you get the hell out of China and go protect your family or what would you do?
This isn't going to happen. Top Asian Nations & the Western Nations have matured to level where we can all avoid a war. The Middle East will keep having their own mini WWIII in the mean time like they've done for the last 20 years.
So Leo, relax man, there will be no war. Not in our life time. Take some time to enjoy Christmas & Family.

It would be nice to see the Islamic terrorist who are currently being bombed by Russia team up with Russia and China who is stripping away at Muslims rights in the West
Stiggs:
I like to think you're right. I hope you're right. But...
Seems like every time I read a newspaper I'm seeing some new petty, childish, ego inspired tantrum being thrown by some country or other.
What would happen for example if Trump decides to change America's policy towards the Taiwan independence situation? Or something happens in the South China Sea where face is lost, trade routes are threatened or the outraged public from.. wherever.. demand action? Those situations could start a chain of events that lead to all sorts of drama.
Then there's the rest of the world, which is also a F****d up place.
I think there is potential for some real shenanigans, hopefully not WW3 but who knows where things can lead?

Sorry Stiggs, I was being a bit facetious... given China has said repeatedly "no no no... we're just doing this for peaceful reasons... we'd NEVER interfere with shipping...". Yeah, bullshit they won't!
They're already saying that the skies are no longer international airspace, but Chinese.
philbravery:
see in the news today that the new islands China built have now got missiles and gun inplacements
If war does break out you better look Chinese if you're in china.....becuase if not....you will be killed and perhaps eaten.
It's important to have a plan if global thermo-nuclear war breaks out.
1. Close all doors and windows and pull the blinds and close curtains/drapes.
2. Move to the centre of your house or apartment, the area the greatest distance from the windows and doors.
3. Remove your trousers.
4. Bend over.
5. Kiss your sweet ass goodbye.

I thought I'd read those instructions before though I think the original UK "Protect and Survive" pamphlet didn't include your points 3-5.......

Did you ever read this or see the cartoon/film adaptation? Love most of what Raymond Briggs wrote.

you forgot to add drink plenty of hotwater ...unless you are Hotwater then there is no point to the hotwater gag i was going for ....unless you thought it was funny then you should probably not drive or play with sharp objects....but if you are incif that would be ok and you could still drink hot water ....i need to have lay down now ....and plan my next Jacket ...

basically china has to invade before trump takes office, trump will give nuclear weapons to taiwan, south korea and japan and pull the navy and all military personnel out of asia, so china has to act now or lose the chance forever for reunification. maybe time to buy a plane ticket and get out of dodge.
ambivalentmace:
they need to do this while we still have a coward running the country, the week before spring festival would work but they need to be done before trump gets sworn into office.earthizen:
"trump will give nuclear weapons to taiwan, south korea and japan and pull the navy and all military personnel out of asia, so china has to act now or lose the chance forever"
Yeap, Trump is adopting a strategy that plenty of business including governments worldwide have been using for more than a decade ---- outsourcing. To countries like South Korea, Japan and Taiwan this empowers them.
It is unlikely China has the guts to start a war now as it is still laying down the chess pieces strategically, in the S. China sea, and economically under Xi's "one belt one road", "friendly connectivity" strategy.
Look at how weak the protest China made with Trump's calling Taiwan, the wordings were so "gentle" compared to the arrogance it flared with the Hague Tribunal ---- "whatever decision this tribunal made we ignore". Typical communists' sly guerilla warfare tactic --- when the enemy is strong we retreat. Hell, China got only one aircraft carrier, and a second hand one from Russia. They will wait for the next US president, after Trump.
On being smart, perhaps to developed countries it would be smart to nail China at this juncture, before it completes laying down all the chess pieces. The cure for cancer is to nail it at the early stages, preferably stage 1 & 2. There is no cure when cancer cells have proliferated and taken over other vital organs of the body. And China is getting there....
ambivalentmace:
i hope your right and they wait, would like to retire and get out of here in 3 years instead of 3 months.
earthizen:
There is a pattern with commies. Look at N. Korea, everyday fat Kim (before that, his father/granfather) say they will dump missiles onto S. Korea. Ask S. Koreans, "are you worried?" 99% will laugh and say, "oh, we're used to it, they say those stuffs everyday". Going back a bit, look at the Cuba crisis. When Kennedy got serious, what did USSR's commies do? Ran with tails between their legs. Commies hide in their little well and brag about themselves, listen to their government's zombies production propaganda.
If I am Trump I would drop a dozen bombs on those artificial islands china built in S. China sea, sending them in pieces to the bottom of the Pacific where they belong. Call their bluff. I am willing to bet they go running back into their polluted sh*thole. But triple the security at the White House afterwards because we all know what happened to Kennedy. 
retiredinchina:
actually a diamond drill and one good explosive just before the next hurricane could take care of each one of them and leave no trace of foul play.

no real surprise, very predictable, but not after trump takes over.
earthizen:
"This brazen act suggests two things. First, China has become (1) completely lawless. That means Washington’s efforts of more than four decades to “enmesh” that country into the international system’s network of treaties, laws, rules, and conventions has completely (2) failed."
Whoever talks laws with the World's Thug is ........retarded. Ask Bill Gates, I think he would agree. If Gates is unavailable try Allen Iverson, or Mike Jagger.
Wrong
(1) Since when has China be lawful? Ever tried to cross a busy road in China, as simple as that?
(2) Since when has it succeeded?
Watch Kissinger who at 93 is still kicking, conversing with Trump. The guy went to China as early as the Nixon era, knew the commies pretty well. He is famous for his balance of power strategy. I bet he advices Trump to partner with Russia which isn't doing that well economically..... Also notice the drastic drop with China's foreign reserve in 2016. Karma awaits you, China........
earthizen:
"We don't like the word 'Steal'"
Understandable. "Steal" suggested they were weak. That's a loss of face. They didn't steal, they robbed (on this occasion).
When logic fails, use Red Semantics, i.e. twist the interpretation. "International waters around here is pretty dangerous. We are protecting your device from Somali pirates".
