I've played the American campaign in Combat Mission Black Sea on the hardest difficulty and handily beat it, so that article is bullshit imo

Wheeee posted:the current rate of scientific advancement in most fields is accelerating, we are on the cusp of major revolutions in multiple fields. Yea rockets and airplanes are pretty well figured out now, but biotech is just ramping up and machine learning and general AI are advancing extremely quickly Which TEDx talk told you that?

Honestly, I think "WW3" probably is just going to be a series of proxy wars happening continuously but the major players Russia/China/US don't actually engage each other. Basically, the Cold War on steroids.

Basically, the Cold War on steroids. it's pretty unlikely to hit 20th century cold war levels tbh mainly because i think the appetite for any of the major powers to put a lot of their own troops (so past a few thousand) into a proxy battleground is pretty low after Iraq/Afghanistan. It's pretty unlikely to see the US/China/Russia deploy 500k troops into Vietnam or w/e like US did.

Typo posted:cerebral bore is the best because when he's stupid, he's at least aggressively stupid enough to be entertaining Well let's be for real a second. The Chinese could interdict blockade runners easily and turn them around without having to kill anybody. The IDF executed those people on the Mavi Marmara because they're assholes. You can say "that's illegal" but so is the blockade of Gaza. So what's anybody going to do about it?

The only concevible way I could think of where WWIII could start and not have things immediately light up is if there is a massive breakdown of society or revolution in one of the existing world powers which then devolves into basically a massive Syria style clusterfuck. All of the remaining powers would then give massive support to their own faction within the dying country and the whole thing would turn into a massive proxy war. In this way none of the other powers homelands would come directly under threat, but the power jockeying within the dying power would be used to affect the geopolitical and economic position of the rest of the planet. Basically, my vision of WWIII is a 21st century 30 Years War.

Ardennes posted:40% of Taiwanese exports go to China, it is probably already too late. I guess they could "go nuts", but their strategy is clearly already working. It will probably just be a process of slowly wearing them down and they forcing them into some type of loose-EU style political pact. China really isn't interested in getting rid of the Taiwanese military, the Taiwanese dollar or even ruling Taiwan directly, but to essentially take Taiwan out of the geopolitical equation. there's also the fact that from what I heard, China has being spending a lot of $$$ bribing taiwanese military leaders/politicians, so it's quite possible a lot of the elite has divided loyalties Taiwan ending up "Finlandized" for lack of a better word is prob best outcome for taiwan, but I wouldn't be surprised if china pushes for full annexation as a propaganda move to gain popularity with its own citizens either

Pener Kropoopkin posted:The "historic track record" you tried to claim was an extremely limited attack done purely for political theater. tbf that's one more example than you've provided you can also look at things like the Al Hussein attacks during the first Gulf War, Egyptian FROG-7's during the Yom Kippur War, etc. I'm aware targeting has gotten significantly more accurate, but we're still fundamentally talking about slinging 500-1500kg warheads at targets that can be hardened or dispersed

I'm not too confident in Russia's military ability after Ukraine. I realize they're prevented from fully committing but thus far they've been unable to achieve victory in a country on their own border who the U.S barely bothers to give even token support. The U.S may have shown it's currently unable/unwilling to actually hold places like Iraq/Afghanistan. But it was entirely able to obliterate any semblance of a military or State those places had quite handily from the other side of the world. I could see something like the U.S winning the "war" and then getting utterly humiliated and its rear end kicked afterword.
