Russia could destroy America in half an hour, doubtless bringing about its own destruction at the same time, which is an option always open to a country that might prefer suicide to enslavement under the Judeo-American hegemon.
The Jews behind the American government, however, need to take cognizance of this simple fact: if Russia can destroy America in half an hour, it can wipe out the state of Israel in under two minutes. (LD)
Therefore it is left to the three world powers to huff puff and bluff, until they finally stumble into the final war.
====================================
Once again, economics drive both war and peace.
Nations as recent as ten years ago were somewhat isolated from the global economy, but not any longer since the global economy now dominates commerce throughout all nations, especially world power nations - Russia included.
Since no nation is now insulated from either a downward or upward economic spiral (bankruptcy vs prosperity), all are now volatile to both the weaknesses and strengths of the global economy, but mostly the weaknesses of it, and the major damage of a bankrupt global economy does to both individual nations and the global impact as well.
As long as there are not starving people in the streets of Moscow, Peking, and Washington I don't think we will have a world war.
