Eh...somewhat concerned. Europe looks like a powder keg ready to go at anytime.


Brussels (AFP) - European Union leaders on Sunday gave Russia a week to reverse course in Ukraine or face a new round of sanctions as Kiev warned it was on the brink of "full-scale war" with Moscow.

Fears are growing that the confrontation on the EU's eastern borders could engulf the whole continent after Russia sent troops to back a new offensive by pro-Kremlin rebels in southeastern Ukraine.

EU President Herman Van Rompuy said the 28 leaders meeting in Brussels agreed to take "further significant steps" if Moscow did not back down.


- Near point of no return -



The sanctions plan came after Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko visited Brussels to urge the EU to take tougher steps against Russia which he accused of "military aggression and terror."

"We are very close to the point of no return, the point of no return is full-scale war, which is already happening in the territories controlled by the separatists," he told a news conference.

"Today we are talking about the fate of Ukraine, tomorrow it could be for all Europe."

Lithuania's President Dalia Grybauskaite, whose Baltic nation is wary of a resurgent Russia on its own borders, gave a similar warning as she urged the EU to send military equipment to Kiev.

"Russia is practically in a state of war against Europe," she said.

Linky...

What say you?
 
Putin has made sure that Russia will be the bad guy in games again for the next decade.
 
yes, but for far more reasons then you have posted
you need to see way beyond what Russia is doing as there are far more players in this game then you know

and I have a premonition of something really really bad is about to drop.. same as I had before 911
even my co workers agree and are looking into means of protection

Premonition— God’s Early Warning System
 
there is also more 'chatter' then there has been since 911
I am on a lot of sites, besides a few gaming forums
EMPact America, heritage foundation and many many others I will not discuss

and what could be happening...
just prepare folks, for the unexpected

lol...people say this stuff every time something bad happens. 9/11 was supposed to be the start of WW3. Every time North Korea take a footstep it is WW3 in the making. A WW makes no sense for anybody. Nobody wants. Europe do not want it, Russia do not want it, Korea do not want it, America does not want it...even the damn terrorist's do not want it.

Premonition - God's Early Warning System for a Bowl Movement. You can think something bad is going to happen everyday and everyday you could find some vile act in the world to justify such feeling.

you are quite incorrect, and why does that anger you so much that I said that?
what are you so afraid of?
I have not felt this way in 13 years
 
Saudi king warns West will be jihadists' next target
http://news.yahoo.com/saudi-king-warns-west-jihadists-next-target-093701543.html

Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) (AFP) - King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has warned that the West will be the next target of the jihadists sweeping through Syria and Iraq, unless there is "rapid" action.

"If we ignore them, I am sure they will reach Europe in a month and America in another month," he said in remarks quoted on Saturday by Asharq al-Awsat daily and Saudi-backed Al-Arabiya television station
 
I will agree with menace. We've heard the start of World War III was imminent starting at the end of World War II.
decidedly not true
as unlike you I did live through the cold war.. duck and cover
Russia was our nemesis, the Reagan came and the world was quiet

things have ramped up
I do not consider terrorism to be WW3, unless some decide that terrorism is, then we are already at WW3


Russia will attack Israel with a coalition of nations and that is NOT WW3 either
but will in turn be destroyed

some things I know but will not share
watch how it all plays out
but is something very bad going to happen, yes
the world seems to have gone mad

Star, I was born in the 70s so I lived thought part of the Cold War. If there was social media, and the internet back then, the world would have seemed like it was Hades. It's a cycle. It's how it's always been and how it always will be. While the world may seem that it sucks, it's nothing compared to the times of slaughter with empires and religious crusades. It's nothing compared to the times of WWI. WWIII will never happen. There's too much to lose for everyone. Russia won't start it. U.S. won't start it. China won't start it. If NK tried anything they would be doomed. There's a lot of posturing between countries with a subset of psychos operating in many countries, ISIS, etc.
 
I can see the U.S. hitting ISIS hard. We didn't spend lives, years, and billions of dollars on Iraq just for a Syrian terrorist organization to come in and take control of Iraq. Both the U.S, and Europe are expecting a terrorist act against our regions any day now. The only thing these extremists are going to accomplish is stir up a bees nest that will swarm them.
 
While I definitely there there are some major regional conflicts about to flair, I don't think we're anywhere near WWIII. There is just to much to lose for everyone involved and the world is a much different place socio/economically and technologically.
 
I don't know about on the brink but World War III will go down one way or another. We were created to destroy each other.
 
Extremely slim. I do not care how crazy they are, nobody wants a nuclear war, and that is exactly what WW3 will be.
An all out nuclear war would require some Hitleresque type of madness , I think if WW3 comes it might not involve nukes at all.

Were we though. If we look at examples of early man they did not destroy each other for trivial things. You can not even equate our behaviour as primal instinct because primal instinct is to survive, not to kill for no reason or without provocation. Now a days we kill our neighbours of bushes. We kill our local store workers for money. We have no real sense of even the most early examples of society (tribal). Greed( money) and Religion are the two prime factors in the vast majority of Man's destruction of Man. Oddly enough they are both creations of Man, and not products of nature.

since the superpowers have had civilization ending weaponry it a little more difficult to do anything. No leader whats to be remembered has the guy who ended it all, unless he is a complete psycho, but even then the guy who starts the war will die like everyone else, either from the immediate blast or slightly slower from radiation poisoning and cancer. Or you can be a baller and live in a bunker. :) thats the life.

Honestly I'm more concerned with Israel, they will do whatever is necessary to fight back and they are surrounded by nations that want them dead.
