Is trouble on the way ?

[ronk]

Is the world on the way to big time trouble?

Russia in Ukraine
Israel in Gaza
UK/ USA strikes In Yemen
Iran boarding ships in international waters
China telling Taiwan who to vote for
Etc etc

There are probably rights and wrongs on all sides but I don’t think it’s going to end well!

There's alot going on at the moment but if you think what has happened since WW2, Suez crises, Cuban missile crises, Vietnam War, Gulf war etc were all still here

Think alot can be blamed on today's level of news reporting and whipped up social media hysteria questioning everything no matter how minor. Imagine if that existing in WW2 we'd have lost the war. Today you're damned if you do damned if you don't which is why I sympathise with Israel, what do you expect them to do as terrible as all wars are. Other stuff like Yeman and China is over reported to sensationalise, doesn't help I reckon.

Look on the bright side. We won't have to worry about the global warming.
It'll most likely get very, very hot, very quickly and then we'll not be here to notice. :rofl:

It seems the bombing in Yemen was to 'deter' them from interfering with merchant shipping.
Lots of ships are going the long way around (via the African cape) as it's safer. We can't have that as it costs more so the price of our Chinese crap will increase.

All these baddies are terrorists; they don't play by the rules so how can you fight them?

how can you fight them?

Round 'em up, put 'em in a field, and bomb the b**stards.

Problem is we're hitting the wrong people, Iran needs sorting out once and for all. These people are never satisfied unless causing misery around the world and pushing these religious groups for the sake of it.

What's really got my goat is Africa sobbing about Israel and genocide, obviously goaded along by Russia as they know its pot calling the kettle black. Ukraine seems to have been conveniently forgotten about and the atrocities and genocide Russia have been upto for nearly 2 years

Still strongly believe the west should have stood up to Russia from the off and the consequences of stepping one foot in Ukraine but just watched it happen.
