<p>The thing is if we are talking about a <strong><em>world war</em></strong>, I get how that can start in 2 places - the South China Sea, and the Baltic states.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Its a very short join the dots to get from either of those to WW3</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What I don't get is how you go from appeasemernt of ISIS to world war? World war against who? Russia and the US are co-ordinating in Syria against IS, China has zero involvement. Europe & the US are not threatened at all, nor is Russia, certainly not in a "we could all be destroyed" point of view as in WW1 & WW2. Even in the middle East Israel is currently co-operating with Jordan, Egypt & Saudi (!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The actual threat posted by radical islam is tiny. Spectacular, but tiny.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In contrast its incredibly easy to go from Trump presidency - recognise the annexing of Crimea - announce US will only support Nato if Nato spends the 2% on defence it commited to - Nato very much does not - Putin does to Estonia what he did to Ukraine - UK jet shoots down Russian jet in Lithuanian airspace etc... to major geopolitical conflict</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Same in the South China Sea with China attacking the Phillipines. Can anyone step from "appease Islam a bit" to "Nukes in the air!"?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Both world wars kicked off because a country thought it could get away with a limited attack but treaty cascades broadened it. So anything that makes treaties look shakey is a bad thing. IE Germany calculated that the UK would not actually honor its treaty obligations, as it had backed away from conflict over German rearmament, the Rhineland, Austria etc. If China or Russia believe the US or Western europe will not honor its treatly obligations those threaties become a potential flashpoint. </p> -
Back to this:
Russian Ambassador to Turkey shot and killed in Ankara at some kind of exhibition. Early translations of the shooter's last rant (shot and killed by security forces) relate to Aleppo. Not sure beyond that.
Peep was a policeman in a suit. Not sure if he was there on duty, or just turned up randomly.

Turkeys been slowly going feral Muslim since the goat fucker took over.
In other news a truck has crashed into a market in Germany killing nine people.
Yeah some interesting messages coming out about this as the media scramble to be first with the breaking news.
The Guardian is reporting the passenger in the truck was killed at the scene, but its unclear how. Also listed this:
The lorry was registered to a company in Stettin, Poland. It was on its way back to Poland, having started its journey in Italy. It was due to unload in Berlin where the driver was due to have a break.
The head of the company has said the registered driver was his cousin. He’s said he’d put his hand in the fire that his cousin would not have been behind this attack. The strong suspicion is that the vehicle was hijacked at some point during its journey.Hijacking would surely have raised some alarm bells? As for putting his hand in the fire: you might think they were never like that but then find out their apartment is drowning in ISIS posters.

Putin will probably be offering support to the Gulanists after this if he isn't already doing it .
Has Merkel said something to dismiss the truck crash as an isolated incident from a lone wolf yet?
She needs to say something ASAP before anyone links this to Islam.

Out on a limb prediction:
This was a lone wolf with mental issues. The fact that he's Muslim is purely coincidental and it could just as easily have been a Buddhist.

@Rancid-Schnitzel it's because he was marginalised by western society as they refuse to fully embrace multiculturalism.

Let's cut to the chase. What it all boils down to is that straight white males are to blame.

And of course your typically insightful comments. What would we do without those.
Now if only a police officer could have shot the driver in the arm first and avoided what is most probably just a massive misunderstanding and no doubt the fault of the innocent people crushed under the truck.

@jegga said in Another World War imminent?:
Back to the circle jerk, drivers been caught and the passenger killed so I guess that means not a lone wolf?
Have they said it was the driver? They said "suspicious person" but hadn't confirmed it was the driver last I read.

Stuff is saying the drivers been caught , it's also saying Kim Kardashian may have gone too far with the outfit she wore last night so they pretty obviously have their finger on the pulse.
