    Why?

    I don’t even know how to begin to explain this if you can’t already see how biblically devastating that would be for all human life across most of the world.

    africa shit

    There won’t be a rest of the world for Africa to work with, I cannot even fathom how someone can’t see how bad this would be, even if it never escalates to nuclear exchanges.

      Again, why would Mexico, Brazil, China, India want anything to do with our suprise murder suicide?

      A US-EU war would have the rest of the world staying tf away, since they have nothing at all to gain.

        As simply as I can state it without delving into geopolitics that I know I’m not qualified to claim authority on, if two world super-powers faced off in a full-scale war, not even nuclear, it wouldn’t be a quick spat, it wouldn’t be a couple wacky years as the rest of the world looks on, it will ravage everything, and everyone will get drawn in. Everyone.

        But it’s worse than that, because it’s not even going to be a border-war, it’s going to be a strategic/ballistic war, that means bombings, and if you don’t think two powers at war with each other, bombing each other’s cities, aren’t going to eventually cow to public demand for nuclear retribution, maybe not in short term, but somewhere down the line as the original actors are long gone and new leaders have taken the reins, in a world far less stable and reasonable world, man do I have some Fermi-Paradox solutions to show you.

          My question again, what does any country outside the imperial core have to gain by getting drawn in?

            I don’t have the crayons to explain how large-scale wars inevitably drag in every “side” country because every country is a resource and the key players are not going to just fucking ignore resources, please read some history.
