19. Maybe, but a global conflict?

Russia may be run by incompetent buffoons & crooks, but they're not insane. Even Mitt Romney isn't that crazy(still VERY glad he didn't win, though).....

To start a truly global war in this day and age would very much require levels of insanity rivaling that of Kim Jong-Un.....or perhaps a global conspiracy of some sort, like that ....or maybe both, perhaps. But I doubt either of these

The plausibly possible reprecussions of a regional war gone bad are concerning enough. We don't need any fearmongering about the Next World War when such isn't warranted....because guess what? The MIC feeds off that.....so do the warhawks in Congress.
