If Mexico invades Canada then US would already have been taken over. Your question is pointless!

Memorable Quotes from Syriana (2005)
 
What about water? No one seems to mention the fact that we (the world) use millions of tons a day, yet produce very little in comparison. Everyone's always shouting 'OIL OIL OIL', which is obviously important, but it shouldn't overshadow other, seemingly small issues.

Right now I'm more concerned with immediate expansion of war in the Middle East. Israel just bombed the airport in Lebonon's capital, Beirut. Will the Arab world stand by if Lebanon is occupied?

They have no choice. The whole of the Arab world can't stand against the righteous might of Israel.
 
Reading about the IDFs attack on Beruit's Airport puts the follwoing sign in my head

DROWNING POOL
"Bodies"

Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor Beaten why for
Can't take much more
One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give
Now
Let the bodies hit the floor
Push me again
This is the end
Skin against skin blood and bone
You're all by yourself but you're not alone
You wanted in now you're here
Driven by hate consumed by fear
Let the bodies hit the floor

Yes, the west cost is gone. But a Japanese admiral one said something about there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass if you invaded america. They won't get very far.

China has a large standing army, but they dont have any ability to project manpower
They recruit a lot of people because they have the largest population in the world, but they are mostly poorly equipped.
 
World War III will not be about the Chinese versus the USA.

It will be the Muslims versus everyone else. No other "religion" is determined to take over the planet and kill all the non-believers/infidels/whatevers.

Probably very true. The communists wont take ****** from religious extremists, hopefully they make the mistake of attacking China.

When the USSR invaded Afghanistan in the 70's, their purpoted cause was to stamp out Islamic fundamentalism. If only the USSR and the USA could have gotten along back then...

🙂 Since the North Korea missile test, Bomb shelters have been selling like hotcakes in Japan. It's certainly worth considering investing in. Even if you do not belive there will ever be a WWIII they still make for great hurricane shelters and provide protection from tornados.

The Japanese buys just about everything, from soiled underwear in vending machines to bunkers.

I-Slam, You Slam, We all Slam Ol Islam. Sorry, but couldn't resist. 😉 This is not what I'm advocating, of course, but the only way to rid the world of one ilk, is of course, thru genocide.
Now, that being said, the only Muslims I have a problem with, are the ones who brain wash kids to go fight in the name of God, promising mass virgins, and paying their family's money for their son's martyrdom. What a total crock of crap! Genocide for those types? I'd be ok with that. It would be just ridding the world of crazed lunatics.

I believe "radical Islam" is the phrase you were looking for. Many Muslims are fine people. Unfortunately, radical Islam seems to be the most common kind

I think it would be wonderful if China stomped out all of the tensions in the Middle East. They probably wouldn't have much problem doing that.

Unfortunately, that's just one new bag of problems. If China runs rampant through the Middle East, then you essentially have a new, massive communist state that is much more capable than the USSR ever was.

I hope China and the US can just get along in the future, but that seems so difficult in a struggle to see who is the greatest superpower (ie China says its Wang is bigger than our Dick and vice versa).

I think you are kidding yourself. There appears to be no such thing as a moderate or "good" muslim as far as I can see and I am looking. If they existed they would turn in the radicals as you define them. A good member of any religion does not stand idly by while watching another member of their religion fashion bombs and go on about killing others/infidels and take over their mosques. It's really that simple.

You can't have your cake and eat it too and apparently too many "good muslims" don't have issue with suicide bombings and terrorism being related to their "religion" which leads me to believe there aren't a whole lot of real "good muslims" out there to begin with. At some point people need to take a stand on what their religion is about.
 
Its already beginning...

WW3 will take place on 2 fronts.. Asia and the Middle East..

and things arnt going so well already.

As long as there are nuclear weapons around, there will be no world war 3.
