JCC World War 3 Countdown Thread

I would like to think that we use whatever works best on them, irrespective of how big a boom it makes.

 

Wikipedia says that but for some reason I thought I remembered us using it once before in the mid 2000s in Afghanistan.

I admit I could be wrong but I feel like I remember reading a lot about us dropping a MOAB. Maybe that was just the test.

 

Reducing the shepherd population of Afghanistan and North West Pakistan is the only thing we've achieved with constant airstrikes since the 2000s.

 

The MOAB itself was developed in the early 2000's. I honestly don't remember if we used it at all after that until now, but I don't think we have.

Uhh, ISIS isn't in Afghanistan. Or if it is, it's probably only a few cells here and there.

 

ISIS is in Afghanistan, and they're none too pleased with those pansy ass weak liberals the Taliban.

 

ISIS Terror Attack Afghanistan

Soldiers Killed fighting ISIS in Afghanistan

 

Just to preempt the "Trump is leading us to WW3" teeth gnashing that I've seen elsewhere, according to CBS this strike has been in the pipeline since the Obama administration.

Trump just appears to be taking the credit for it. Because, after the media's reaction to him launching tomahawks at Syria, it seems blowing things up is something he can do to to legitimise his presidency. 'Murica!

 

Fareed Zakaria declared that Trump is now a Super President.

 

So this happened.

 

We have but slumbered here while these visions did appear.

most entertaining world war 3 news in a while. It's a scheme worthy of Lex Luthor, the plot of a much better movie than any Roland Emmerich has made.

 

The lack of WWIII news is disappointing me.

 

I think North Korea said something, sometime yesterday. It was Monday and that begins the weekly saber rattling.

Heard about the underwater nukes thing a few times. Now that I think about it, it doesn't even make sense. Communicating with submarines and underwater drones is difficult and unreliable, so trying to send a signal to an underwater nuclear device would have the same problems. If you want to nuke a target, the best way is still with a warhead on a missile. Not to mention if they ever nuked us, it doesn't matter if it came on a missile or torpedo or whatever, we'd just nuke them right back...so the threat of blackmail isn't really credible.

this article purports to debunk the nuke tidal wave thing and pinpoint the origins of the story. I like the phrase "tectonic superweapon" because it reminds me even more of Lex Luthor's California real estate scheme from Superman: The Movie.

 

I've enjoyed following this thread so I thought it was time to add to it.

Anonymous has had their say one day ago.

 

Since it's become clear that there will be no enforceable or enforced globally coordinated effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within the timeframe required to avert disaster, and likely not within our lifetimes at all, we definitely need to start preparing for the geopolitical fallout from drastic changes to agricultural patterns and water availability. Increased frequency and severity of droughts, irreversible damage to shellfish availability and catastrophic disruption of the ocean food chain, inundation of coastal population centers, etc. It's going to be an interesting time for those interested in chaos, anarchy, destruction and the spread of human misery.

 

As an apropos to this, I was just listening to an architecture panel discussion specific to Iran, and it was mentioned that with the rapid willy nilly handing out of construction permits by the municipality, and the influx of rural populations that move in, Tehran is going to run out of a water supply within just a few years.

Luckily, our population is more progressive than our state; despite promotion by authorities to procreate and increase our population, we are the only country in the Muslim world to have negative population growth, which shows that people are aware of the scarcity of resources. Or maybe they just don't want to raise children in hard economic times. Although, with Iranians there's a great chance it might also be just to spite authorities.

 

Don't worry, Trump will cancel-out global warming with a nuclear winter!

And if that doesn't work, well, as one of his scientist advisors who visited him in the transition said (paraphrased) "global warming is real, and it's good... time to decrease the surplus brown poor population and build a wall so they starve from global warming in their countries!"

 

Forget global warming...You might get your dream of civilization sent back to pre modernity if the rumors of NoKo developing an EMP missile capable of getting through the protective Faradays is correct.

 

Aren't the effects of an EMP temporary? Even if somehow North Korea made a major technological breakthrough that's eluded us, why would using one destroy all of civilization?

 

Because not all systems we use in our society are hardened against the effects of EMP, and it's really the after effects from an EMP that would be the lasting issue. Even then, NK would have to find a way to deliver that.

 

It's a "Breitbart Exclusive!"

North Korea doesn't have any nukes in orbit waiting to detonate over the U.S.

 

I think WW3 is very unlikely.... however Climate Change is real and is already a serious problem that will already grow.

There should have been a massive shift to modern nuclear power 20 years ago, but it's too late now to do anything but try to lessen the damage. I've reached the conclusion that people are going to have to start studying geo-engineering.... I don't see any other answer. Obviously a shift to cleaner power sources still needs to happen, but even if we somehow magically switched the world to clean power tomorrow we'd still have fairly seriously climate change issues to deal with for quite some time

Getting people in the west to drastically change their lifestyles was simply never going to happen (unless a catastrophe forced it)

At least I'm not worried about Peak Oil anymore... it looks like we'll be able to work past that one.
