    Haha yep, Godwin'ed. Didn't take long.

    But yeah, even some countries that I've thought I disliked in the past, I've visited, and realised that it's not the people I dislike, it's the government (or some policies of their government). Wiping out a whole country for the sins of a few really isn't going to solve anything.

    If you magically had the power to "wipe out" a whole country, then surely you would also have the power to wipe out the world wide banking elite and the Federal Reserve System. Then install a sound money currency world wide.

    Doing so not only saves innocents from slaughter it frees them from thier slavery (wether they know it or not) of all people first AND third world.

    Only the "Combatants" who deserve it are harmed and in the process makes WW3 impossible to finance unless it is a case of one country such as the US or Russia launching all thier hot ones at once and sitting back and isolating themselves to their little chunk of earth.

    It solves so many of our current problems in one go.

    Hell yeah I'd wipe one country from the map... not so much to avoid ww III but more to dictate the direction. But I'm also rooting FOR caveman status. How many rules and regulations did cavemen live by?

    My target of choice has to be Israel, sure the USA is the scum of the earth but really they're just following orders. I'd do it under an Iranian flag to promote the US military intervention...best to have them fighting in middle east than down here gearing up to fight China in the Pacific.

    I'd like the governments of the world to get out of war alltogether and leave the whole field to private individuals.

    War is economic, when we were beasts it was natural selection, basically we need so we take, winners & the extinct.

    How do you determine that wiping out this country is going to avert WW3?

    Seems more likely such an act would start it to me. ie, the countries who were friends to said country freak out at the ones that destroyed the country and decided to pre-emptively save themselves by invading the others.

    Can we not get past this madness?

    Maybe it is just me, but when I think of needs I think of air, water, food, clothing, shelter and maybe a bit of a fire to keep you warm in winter if you live any further south of Sydney. All which can be abundantly sourced inside our own borders.

    Therefore I would be more inclined to replace "need" with "want".

    Cause it would alright ! It's a Hypothetical, it doesn't need ethics to be answered or deep searching analysis of the proposal, just pick a country and nuke it into a carpark to avoid WWIII.
    No it would avoid it in the hypothetical question asked hence the question in the OP. Tho if pushed I would argue that taking out the whole country would negate any comeback down the track from aggrieved survivours and any friends would be adequately warned to STFU.

    No. The world is a crazy place, the UN is a joke and the military industrial conglomerate is currently using war as an income stream. There is no way out except out.

    Think about it.

    Wrote a reply to a comment (now edited)

    What is Russia,the US or any other country's strategy regarding China if there is potential grievance related to anything?

    Gang up, hide, help?

    The West & Rest: the social & economic predicament that this fiat ponzi fiasco has caused with debt ceilings & derivatives displays this to be an epic capitalistic failure & is opposite to the East, their organization is because we have no plan.

    Since 1911 via revolution, communism, Discipline & leaders like Mao China have had isolation (until internet), state control & multi-generational stability, great minds, technology & everything necessary to advance (think space/nuclear race).

    Reality is dictated by your ability to comprehend & China knows if you can't comprehend a question you can't know the answer. Until its too late!

    The "West" is already FUBAR, Who does the West "borrow" from ? Mind you there are only so many controls you can place on more than 3 billion people looking for a better life and the "West" has a current track record with fomenting unrest in such circumstances. China itself may find itself on a knife edge if a concerted effort was instigated.

    If it comes down to it, the importation of western influences such as social media could in turn become a boil on the ass of the Chinese gubermint, who's to say a few well placed satellites might not provide free internet exchange between a few hundred million stirred up citizens ?

    * USA spends more on military than all countries on earth combined.
    * USA has military bases in 150+ odd countries, no?
    * USA has done more to squash freedom in the past 100 years than any other country on earth.
    * USA ropes in many of its slave states (Australia included) to do what it says and continue the advancement of terror and torture so a few at the top can gain while everyone else loses.
    * CIA operations all around the world to give power to dictators and kill those who care about leading their people.

    To me, it's a very easy and obvious choice.
    Sorry to the millions of innocent dead, but in reality we are saving more lives than killing, not to mention saving a crapload of tax-payer money from the rest of the world who kisses the USA's butt.

    * presses red button without hesitation *

    Hmmmmm. Looks like your going to be popular around these parts with some. :lol:

    IMO Israel does heaps of sh#t to Palestine. Afterall, Israel IS Palestine. :)
    Palestine shits on Israel? :) yeah, right. :)
    You'd blow Russia up? :) Think there would be a few lining up to blow you up and it wouldn't just be Russia. LOL

    Have a nice day my friend. ;)

    Oh, and lots of "smileys" in this response. It's a happy place around these parts. :lol:
