Cool so World War 3 is officially kicking off?

  • US is invading and kidnapping leaders in South America
  • Russia invading Ukraine with plans for Europe
  • China is about to hit Taiwan
  • Britain and France are at war with Syria, which just had a regime change
  • US is about to attack Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, etc.
  • Israel is currently exterminating the Palestinians.

Anyone else want to join in on the global chaos?

    Those are all separate conflicts, at least for now. Although some are proxies, like the US and others supporting Israel and Europe supporting Ukraine. There were proxy conflicts leading up to WWII as well, like the US supporting Europe before directly participating.

    The UK and France bombed an arms cache used by enemies of the Syrian government. Syria won't be sad about it.

    No casualties were reported from this strike. This looks like a pretty clean operation strictly to curtail IS, imo it shouldn't be in that same list.

    Cambodia and Thailand have been at it, as have Serbia and Kosovo. Perhaps Pakistan and India would like to weigh in?

    The UK has been doing this since the dark ages, not even exaggerating. I'm not sure about France there's too much war for me to keep track of

    Suspected? Now we don't do due diligence anymore?
