What do you think will be the next big war that will occur within the next 20-30 years?
Israel vs Iran and the middle east? India vs Pakistan or China over disputed border? North Korea vs U.N nations? U.S involved in another useless war for more resources I think that it will probably a war with North Korea involved. They will continue to develop their military and their ICBM capability with the help of the Chinese and then they will become aggressive. It might happen IMO in the next 15-25 years Leave your prediction below and explain what will probably be the catalyst. And what year ...Im bored
Does NATO stand a chance in a war against Russia?
That depends what kind of war. Russia has quite different military doctrines than the USA and NATO in general.If Russia invaded Europe, according to old Cold War plans, it’d be a defeat for them. They simply lack the necessary force. They are not prepared for this kind of force projection, their army is not designed to face NATO forces as an attacking force. If a Russian invasion ever occured, it’d be in the Baltic states or somewhere else in the buffer zone. In any case, it’ll be very limited and the Russians will try to achieve a status quo before major NATO forces drive them out or their little adventure escalates into a worldwide shitstorm.But if NATO invaded Russia, that’ s a whole different story. In this case, NATO would very well lose. The Russians are well prepared to defend their Motherland, and they have strong traditions doing so. Not to mention that NATO also lacks the necessary ground potential. Most likely they’d grind to a standstill somewhere around the Dnepr, and then it’s either nukes or GTFO.To summarize, a NATO-Russian war would not lead anywhere, in any case. There is no point trying to win small territories from each other while risking to lose everything. (And I am not talking only about a potential nuclear scenario: there are serious economic ties tangling the two factions to each other, and straining them would be almost as bad as bombing each others’ cities.) As neither side could invade the other’s territory and occupy enough land to cripple the opponent into submission, it’d be just a very nasty tug of war.Finally let me point out that no wars are repeated exactly as the previous one, yet military planners tend to fall into the mistake of preparing for it. In WW2, the demise of France was to prepare for trench warfare and mass attacks again, but they got mobile armies and air support. Britain still believed in the might of the battleship, just to have its ass kicked by Japan and have most of its warships locked in Scapa Flow by German submarines. Most people nowadays imagine a war between Russia and NATO as some strange mix of WW2 and Cold War plans. No it’ll never happen. Not that way.
Why did the United States withdraw from the Vietnam War?
The American public were very against the war in Vietnam after so much time in there and so many lives lost. Much like what is happening in Iraq. The US just simply pulled out. Back then the media was a true media and they told things as they were and showed pictures of things that maybe we don't really want to see. The US armed forces also have noticed this and between now and then they have neutralized the threat of the media by controlling what they report on. What you get from Fox News is different from what you get from CNN or BBC or CBC or Al Jazera. Which one is the truth? To be honest with you....the Vietnam war was never waged to be won. It was waged to be sustained and dragged out for as long as possible. Just as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Why don't the US put more resources into the original fight against the attacks of 9/11, Afghanistan? I guess they are too far stretched with Iraq and the inevitable war against Iran and Syria. As long as there is instability in the Middle-East the oil and arms industries will make a fortune and continue to lobby and donate to the ruling gov't, whether it be Republican or Democrat.
