Will war in Ukraine become World War three?

[888theGreat]

Right now Russia, Syria, Belarus are fighting Ukraine. US , UK, Poland, France, are supplying Ukraine with weapons.

Also missiles launched in Iraq, Pakistan, and Syria by other countries.

Yes look how many countries are involved now

Serbia is fighting against Ukraine too

I have already asked what happens when Russia starts arming our enemies like how we are arming Ukraine. There's talk of Russia givin Iran nuclear weapons though this could be a false flag operation for the us to invade Iran, Biden already had a Freudian slip about Iran while taking about Ukraine

I have been hearing about WW3 and nuclear Armageddon for my whole life. I don't think anyone would be surprised if we had a war with Russia.

It has been a "cold" world war III at least since Ukraine ousted their pro-putin president in 2014. Fortunately/unfortunately everyone has so many economic entanglements with their enemies that everyone wants to escalate as slowly as possible - that was, after all, the entire point of those global entanglements. Keep in mind that while it is true the US has not directly attacked Russia, it is also true that Russia has not directly attacked any NATO territory. Whatever Putin is after, it is not WWIII or he could have it easily.

Personally, I see this as the death throes of the oil industry. They know EVs are coming in hot. But owning oil fields has been the one thing in life that gave them purpose and status, and since they were born into that they haven't spent a single second of their lives trying to become valuable in any other way. They see that lifestyle being threatened and so they are lashing out.

A world war is not defined as a war that involves the whole world, as otherwise the huge war in the Congo would have easily been classified as the third world war. A world war is whatever major war on western territory gets the western powers' panties in a twist. This one doesn't seem to be quite that bad, because it's almost being fought as a proxy war and once Ukraine prevails or falls, the world will continue like nothing happened, just like after the annexation of Crimea.

The only card Russia has is nuclear weapons. Their supply lines can't get 30 miles past their borders without falling apart, and their economy is collapsing. That said, I wouldn't put it past Putin to launch nukes when he gets desperate enough. It's a scary time.

Russia is really a defensive military unlike nato which is about force projection

[Razp_Sorbet]

It will all depend on if Russia tries to invade a NATO country.

Russian missile came close to Poland already. NATO warned Russia. If one missile lands in Poland , US and the West must declare war on Russia.

[ragooo8]

Putin has already warned them about supplying arms to Ukraine. Putin unlike biden dont bluff.

[XXblack88]

Maybe I definitely see it as a possibility.

[Aurora1010]

No...

[888theGreat]

and why not?

[Aurora1010]

Why would the West get that involved and put their own citizens at risk of a nuclear war?

[888theGreat]

they have to if Russian missile goes into Poland

[ragooo8]

Yeah but remember when Obama was bombing Pakistan, the Pakistanis didn't nuke the US.
