[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Junctionfan</i> <br />I disagree. As longs as no nukes were used, it should stay a U.S / China War; but if nuclear weapons are used, the world will take sides and you'll end up with a NATO vs Warsaw Pact like war (hence a world war). <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />"Should?" Is there some natural law that determines this? Certainly there is no moral obligation on any country's part to keep their nose out of it. <br /> <br />Long before the point that nuclear weapons would be used all other nations will have taken sides. Study what happened in WW-II. That is what made it a world war. The use of atomic weapons ended it. The Warsaw Pact did not come into existence until 1955. <br /> <br />I don't believe you fully comprehend what the use of nuclear weapons means. The current weapons are to the Hiroshima-Nagasaki weapons as a .50 caliber machine gun is to a Daisy BB gun, and that is understating the comparison. Within a period of time of about one hour after the first weapon was launched the world as we know it would cease to exist. There would be no taking sides. There would be no further war.
