AverageJoe90's JournalFor those of you out there who believe Mitt Romney will start WWIII if elected.....
I'm just curious as to why you may think so.
However, I don't think it will, and here's a few reasons why:
1.)Russia is not Stalin's USSR-Even Vlad Putin will not be willing to risk 160 million lives over an invasion of Iran, or Syria(it didn't even come close to happening in '08, and that was when Shrub, Jr. was in office). Why would he nuke the U.S., period? And if he even thought about such a thing, the Russian people would be up in arms within hours.
2.)China needs us more than we need them-They absolutely depend on our trading for their economy to survive. If we embargoed them tomorrow, their economy would be in recession within days.
3.)Romney is an idiot but he's no Hitler-Even Reagan wasn't foolhardy enough to declare war on the Russians without cause. And Romney has shitloads of cash invested in Chinese companies, as well. He is all talk, no action. (I'd be scared if a guy like David Duke took over, though)
4.)And most importantly, the Cold War ended in 1991.
Truth is, as bad as a Romney Presidency would be, I have to say that this kind of extreme speculation is making us Dems look like tin-foil hatters. Sad but true.
(I thought I might clarify that what I meant by WWIII, was in the traditional sense, that is global atomic warfare.)
