Talk:Scenario: World War III (Obama vs. Putin)/@comment-68.5.174.158-20140927203707

'''World War Three does not have to inclde the use of nuclear weapons. All Russia has to do is light enough fires in Eurasia, and NATO will be incapable of pissing all of them out. Germany is too reliant upon Russian for oil and gas, so it is likely that they would either remain neutral or join the Russians outright. Half of London is owned by Russian billionaires, so it is likely that they would be pressured into a neutral position as well. And the US is 14 trillion dollars in debt, making it impossible for them to fight any long term war. Besides which, the Chinese would have to approve anything the US does prior to the first shot being fired against Russia because the Chinese are in bed with the Russians, and the US is financially castrated by its Chinese debt. Face it, when you're planning on remaining the Tough Guy on the block, make sure you're not owned by your enemies first. Bottom line: Liberals are idiots, but Conservatives are the primary party responsible for the intentional bankrupting of the United States. '''
