Is third world war coming?
-
Read in a news article that, China is spending almost 50 billion dollars on defense for this year which is larger than US. Not able to understand why that much...is there 3rd world war on the way...
Some Politician Somewhere:
After speaking with military advisers... we've decided to skip the third world war and go right on into the fourth. This should save the tax payers billions.
:-D ;P

OMG... Canada made the list! :omg: Are they defending themselves against Wolverine? :laugh:

If you think the US will go from close to $700B to less than $50B this year ... you have another thing coming.
My thoughts exactly.

Fairly standard, the USA has had the largest "defence" budget for many years, and been involved in more "defences" than every other country - either directly, or by funding terrorist organisations to do their dirty work. From the rest of the world's perspective, this is aggression and terrorism (the definition of which is using violence as a form of coercion to achieve political ends). It should be no surprise that the US has itself become a target of terrorism.

Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
