Trump just spit in the face of everyone who believed in him.

He said voting for Hillary would mean WW3 now we're witnessing the beginning of WW3 and the end of Donald Trump. 1.-It seems like he was a leftist all along. 2.- apparently he supports ISIS who was funded by Obama. 3.-USA will surrender to globalism and will end up becoming a socialist heaven. 4.-I don't support communism but it seems like the Russians are the good guys here what a shame.

1.-what?

2.-whaaaat???

Globalism isn't inherent to socialism or capitalism.  It can work equally good in either.

It's almost as bad as the people that think Hitler was bad because he was "socialist".  As if it had nothing to do with the death camps, because apparently if he wasn't socialist, he would've been a much better person...  

"Globalism isn't inherent to socialism or capitalism.  It can work equally good in either.  "

globalism is about centralised control across countries which is counter to what capitalism or private ownership is about

 

"It's almost as bad as the people that think Hitler was bad because he was "socialist"."

well i think its reasonable to observe patterns such as socialists putting regimes in place that always result in a dramatically reduced quality of life for the people subjected to them

it is a system that has never worked and breeds delusional resentment in people

 

"because apparently if he wasn't socialist, he would've been a much better person... "

probably, he maybe wouldn't have been so resentful of people who were more successful than him, which from what i've seen is the common trend with socialists

that's not to say that things are fair and there are no problems but rational solutions not motivated by resentment i think is the way to go

and i think another remark i have to make here is that i'm not even really speaking about all socialists, but a particular type that seems to be more and more active recently

Tell me that OP is sarcasm.

Because it made zero sense.

Yep, globalism is pretty much all about capitalism and corporations like Nestle doing shady stuff in order to make as much money as possible.

Germany during the third Reich was very capitalistic.  Germany's war machine was build by big corporations.  On top of that the Nazi's where very much pro capitalism and anti workers rights since once they gained power all unions where abolished.

Too much Rambo does that to people.

Russia has absolutely no hope of sustaining a prolonged war as with each passing year they grow weaker. Their economy is in shambles (seriously, a drop from $2.2 trillion in 2013 to around $1.5 trillion today GDP), their diplomatic position is weaker than its ever been, and their reputation across the globe is in the gutter. The one thing they had going for them were their relations with China, but those have been chilling for ages now and there's absolutely zero chance China would actually engage the US in a war on Russia's behalf, both because their military is no where near prepared for such things and because the US is essential to their continued growth.

Right now their best hope would be to deliver a kind of non-nuclear knock out punch early (unlikely) or keep the war localized in the form of a "proxy war" (a bit more likely), as they would have zero hope against a US/NATO coalition in the long term. They have an exceedingly strong military and navy, but those matter little when after a few months you can't afford to keep them in the field, and much of your territory across an enormous expanse is kept in check via expensive occupations (Crimea, Chechnya etc). Russia's erratic, reckless behavior as of late are signs of desperation, not strength.

What would almost certainly happen is Russia would be chased out of its positions abroad and peace talks would begin once they were largely contained to Russia proper, as at that point there'd be no benefit to anyone if the war went any further. People certainly aren't interested in invading Russia, fighting those large armies, or pushing them to a desperation point that they might actually contemplate using nuclear weapons (wouldn't put it past Putin), and Russia's economy is already on the brink without a full scale war as it is. 

There's only two real reasons Russia has been so adamant in their defense of Assad: Assad leases them their only year-round warm water naval port in the Mediterranean and is the only nation in an important region of the world that they share close ties with (the warm water naval port is also the primary reason Putin wanted Crimea, as it has one that is available for use for most of the year in the Black Sea). If war broke out and the US/NATO forces immediately destroyed Tartus (the leased naval port), and you can be assured they would do that virtually day 1, and thereafter they actively fired upon the Assad regime, most of the motive for the war would vanish in an instant. For that reason I can't really see it ever venturing much beyond a short proxy war, though no doubt there'd be all kinds of threats and bluffs thrown both ways.

The only country that would actively benefit from a full scale war, after all, would be a neutral China sitting back and watching. All countries involved know total war is not in their best interest, which is why we've been fighting proxy wars for decades now.

The western world is built on the dollar economy which is why they normally use sanctions and such against countries to hit their economy the problem here is Russia not only have their own resources they're also well develop and are very technically advanced which is why when they were hit by sanctions before they still carried on like normal as they don't need really need to import anything which makes a war with them disastrous and many western countries are not in the same position, not only that many countries are starting to lean towards moving away from dollar trade, economy is one thing but actual practical situation is another. When we hear reports of their position blah blah it becomes the same ol as we've been hearing that for decades now.

The allied forces are the ones not prepared to deal with Russia because anytime an opponent who has been able to strike at them directly pops up we've been taken to the cleaners near enough and guess who ends up tearing up the opponent to shreds? Russia, a load of groups have gone there to fight them and a load of them have been put in the ground, fact is they have an huge effective Arsenal and a location that is hard to engage, if Russia were as weak as some of you are claiming believe me our governments would have taken direct action when Ukraine was invaded but they know its a hard fight so have to just bark hard to make it look like we can deal with them.

Trump is a moron and a racist and anyone who votes for him is a terrible person, but there is no WW3 coming. There is something very fishy with this whole situation that I can't put my finger on, but there is definitely no WW3 on the horizon.

Also, it's the agenda of both Republicans and democrats to wage war since the 80's, the left is opposed to any war and would like to dismantle most of the military overseas.

LOL! Saying people are terrible for voting for Trump nonsense. There is a lot of waste, corruption, and bad policies with the democratic party. That puts people in situation where they may have more common ground with Trump. The last election was more about policy, not who is a good person.

We all want shithole countries to have their military dismantled.

A politicians makes promises he can't keep, shocking. Let's just wait and see what happens from here.

He won because he wasn't a politician unlike the Clintons, Trump voters might as well have voted for Hillary because the conflict with Russia had only been delayed yesterday's news must have been eargasm to her.

I'm at work and unable to watch the news but my wife is keeping me updated. She says the United States has violated international law and that Putin is demanding an emergency UN meeting.

Regardless of who we voted for and who we want to blame, we can all admit that the United States has done some things to antagonize other countries, over the last year.

-Recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
-Stained our trade relations with China
-Insulted Mexico and other countries (calling them "shit holes")
-Launched missiles in Syria twice, at the behest of Russia.
-Constantly threatened North Korea

These are scary times. I live in America and it's a bubble. I wonder how other countries see us now. I just don't know.

Trump is another puppet like Obama.

You forgot to photoshop a tin foil hat on Geralt.

Also people not to stop worrying about a "conflict" between Russia and Usa, if there ever will be one Russia dies in 2 seconds. People need to learn Russia is a weak country now where theirs GDP is lower than Italy's.

Are you retarded or what? Russians have 1 200 000 army and something like 70 000 tanks, not to mention nuclear weapon, how do you imagine ending them in 2 seconds? Who will go to Russia and kill them all? You kid? Lol

Tell me about it not only that but China is likely to aid Russia rather than the US.

LiquorandGunFun said:
Besides the vague poll, not even stating if they would vote for Trump to begin with as this has mostly anti-trumpers anyways means nothing.

Trump isnt starting shit, its the saber rattling pootin. And this is much better than a red line from Obummer.

The rest of the world does not agree with you and will only grow to hate USA even more.

Nem said:

It's no joke. Trump is a terrorist supporting puppet of Israel and Saudi Arabia who are out to destroy secular Islamic countries which in no way benefits American citizens only damages interational relations and a possible war.

Well if Trump can push around Russia then Turkey can push around Russia and if Turkey can then anyone can. Russians and Syrians have lost thousands of men fighting off ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Saudi Arabian invasion and this is how Trump shows his respects? Russia has every right to retaliate after this even if they end up losing hard they didn't ask for conflict.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't in Trump's situation ... (people either want him to draw a hardline against Russia or stop America being the world police) 

If people just accepted the most likely scenario that Trump doesn't give a damn about what Russia does for the most part then we'd be able to have both our cake and eat it too ... (but Americans and it's allies are all too keen on having a proxy war against Russia) 

Every sovereign nation has the right to do whatever since their the only truly independent entities but that doesn't they won't face the consequences for it ...

Do most of those supposed tanks even work today and if so are they even effective for modern combat ?

Calm your tits, the war in Syria was over when Trump ended the funding for moderate rebels - we are just witnessing some aftermath.
