    War in Europe

    Is it feasible that in these deperate times another war could be sparked in Europe?

    What could possibly trigger it?

      Some of the current state dictators could easily replace their ancestors.
      I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

        Immigration being used by the far right as a reason for economic turmoil and jobs being lost, and racial tensions being ratcheted up as a result.

        Sound familiar?

              If the Russians decide they want their "spheres of influence" back, they may decide to do it sooner rather than later, before the Yanks have absorbed them into NATO and planted nuclear weapons on their soil.

              That was what Georgia was all about. The Yanks encouraged the Georgians in order to test Russia. They got their answer and it wasn't good from an American point of view.

                The prospect of no gas in Central Europe is indeed something to make you nervous, particularly with a cold winter ahead.

                Hands up those who have over the years chosen gas heating over oil or electricity.

                  but then the Slochteren gas field, one of the biggest in Western Europe, is about 30kms up the road from me.

                    What about if one country in the euro said they want out, and all the other countries said no. Would force be used to keep them in?
