So I see I'm not the only one with World War 3 on the mind to a certain degree. As in the forefront of the mind not just somewhere in the background thinking WW3 will just go away.

Some minds are able to hold more information than others. Those minds aren't dominated or overwhelmed by single events or issues.

Yes but then politics of the forum come into play whether it's agreeing with your post or not. It may too much to have to deal with the issues. Could be enough to pressure the person to leave the website. Not that I of all people am trying to get you to leave or make you suffer while you are here.

Meh, it seems pretty obvious that on P&N if you post like a fool you'll get treated like a fool.
Yes and I'm wondering if most here behave like fools on the forums and if that's banworthy for a few days or a lot more. And if forum politics favors one poster over another in giving fewer bans.

How everyone behaves when not on the forums could be something to bring into the conversation too.

Still too early to climb up on your cross.

Do you have something to say on the subject of the thread?
Yeah but it will take us back in a circle again. Was trying to vary my replies with the Jesus thing. So it's back again to I think Biden and his enemies could easily get us into WW3 (edit): with a military strike by the US in response to Iran's activity described in the thread title. And more on the forum should be more nervous about it.

So posters may reply with something similar to what they posted before to my similar above statement in this post about a nuclear WW3. Which could happen if N Korea conducts nuclear strikes against Iran's enemy countries.

edited to add part about a war retaliation in the first paragraph above in this post.

Why would North Korea use its nukes on Iran’s behalf? What path do you see from the Houthi's trying to fuck with some shipping to North Korea launching nukes?

N Korea has an alliance with Iran including use of nukes in war to some extent. Come on. We just need to determine how far that extent goes. Like how many agree with me that it doesn't take much to provoke N Korea to do it.

Then if too many disagree with me I'll say they are ganging up on me and I'll again start thinking about going up on the cross.

You sure you’re in the correct thread? I thought there already was a separate conspiracy thread.

What is the evidence for an agreement for North Korea to use nukes on Iran’s behalf?

There is no upside to N. Korea using its nukes against Iran's allies. The Houthis aren't even an official ally of Iran, which is to say that they deny it. You really think any country is going to open itself up to nuclear retaliation to support a militant group which is basically a proxy army for Iran to weaken Saudi Arabia?

If N. Korea is so willing to use nukes, they would have used them against S. Korea already.

Some countries label N Korea and Iran as terrorist states. One or the other can help a small terrorist cell to detonate a dirty nuke and blame the small cell to try to deny responsibility. You didn't even bring that up.

I guess you don’t have any more info to provide of this North Korea / Iran alliance to use nuclear weapons in support of the Houthis?

I am in a state of complete shock.
Absolutely Floored.
The defenses on our warships actually work!
That's always good to know.
OTOH, anytime a missile intercepts a drone, it is the drone that has secured a victory. In economics. It is an attrition any country firing the missile interceptor cannot sustain.
And bullet based solutions only work if you are very close to the ship you are protecting. This is not a fight we can win in the long run, if we merely stay on the defense.

Economic victory!!

Moral victory!!
You can laugh, but the USA is one of the largest oil producers now.

Driving up the price is good for us. If we are leading a completely ineffective coalition to stabilize things, all the better. We get our cake and eat it to.

is it though?

How much do one of those missiles cost vs how much the US, as one of the largest oil producers in the world, makes by increasing the cost of oil?
