Do you think WWIII will happen in your lifetime?

[indianasmith]

I'm about to turn 60.
Frankly, I think not.  The Russians can't even conquer Ukraine; the Chinese don't need to resort to nukes as they plan on dominating the world economically. And since the grown-ups are back in control of the government and Trump's chances of getting elected again appear to be diminishing by the day, I don't see us starting it either.

[RCMerchant]

Me neither, buddy.

Do you think WWIII will happen in your lifetime?

Doubt. There are nothing to gain economically from it and I don't think(at least currently) any ideological movement is strong enough rn to force it

Do you think WWIII will happen in your lifetime?

I'm doubtful, too, although the chances are much greater than I would have thought ten years ago.

One silver-lining outcome of the Ukraine conflict is that aggressors will (hopefully) learn by example that, in the modern world, warfare isn't worth it. Watching what's going on, I don't think China is making plans to go after Taiwan.

After growing up in the environment I did, I always felt that a third world war wasn't far off until Gorbachev started speaking about perestroika ☺️

[Alex]

I think Taiwan is more likely to kick things off than Ukraine. I am expecting trouble there before the end of the decade.

So far, has your life been a comedy or a tragedy?

Mine has been a very black comedy.

[Alex]

While I've had elements of both, I'd have to go with neither.

[Trevor]

So far, has your life been a comedy or a tragedy?

Mine has been a very black comedy.

Tragi-comedy, especially in the last three years.

[indianasmith]

Mine is one of those sappy-sweet 80's sitcoms with moments of Indiana Jones thrown in.

The EVIL DEAD 2
Sometimes it's so f**ked up it's funny.

[ER]

How much would you miss this site, if you left?

[RCMerchant]

If I left- not at all. I mean, I left, didn't I?  
Now if I left because I died- I wouldn't miss anything. I'd be dead.
If it shut down, yeah- I'd miss it.
