WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 — President Bush issued a stark warning on Iran on Wednesday, suggesting that if the country obtained nuclear arms, it could lead to “World War III.”

“We got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel,” Mr. Bush said at a White House news conference, referring to a remark by the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that Israel “will disappear soon.” Mr. Bush said he had “told people that if you’re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.”

This is bad... :p
 
Indeed, but it's rather old. I have a feeling I'm going to experience a World War in my lifetime... and die. :)
 
World war III

Allies (?) VS Nuclear Makers

USA VS Iran

Then...

USA, Great Britain VS Iran

Then...

USA, Great Britain VS Iran and an ally (not that they have one.)

Then the Allies get another country with them, then the Nuclear Makers get another with them and it loops.

Problem is, apart from the USA, Great Britain and Iran, I don't know who else would get involved other than Al Qaeda.
 
Hmm

US VS Iran
then

US, UK, France, Canada VS Iran

then

US, UK, France, Canada, a bunch of european countries VS Iran

Click to expand...

Why would Canada join in. Yeah I forgot about France's threatening, but I can't see any European countries joining in too.
 
How did they interpret "will dissapear soon" into "they're going to destroy Isreal"?

Plenty of people would get involved. North Korea would for us - China would as well.
 
2 things...
1.- Bush's expression was priceless in the picture
2.- WWIII???? The past 2 world wars were big, this one would be a beating. The "Allies" would consist obviuosly the U.S. I can imagin Briton and Canada joining, but not being big players as they have in past wars. Our big support would come from Isreal, Saudi Arabia, and Eygpt, which would love to gang up on Iran. For Iran's allies, probably at best Russia. However with being so strongly overmatched, would it even matter?
 
If they do start a WWIII, the main country's might join in, especially Russia since it has been trying to "show-off" lately.

But if the other countrys are smart, they will not do anything and let USA and Iran.
 
Rofl. Why even start a war if you know you're going to get killed? I don't think Iran would nuke anybody. The reprucussions would be seen by a 2 year old from a mile away.

  • Varine Varine:
    I should have had all of this like a month ago but whatever, it's fine. He's trying a thing, idk it's his menu I don
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't care.
  • Varine Varine:
    Fuck I need more saturday nights off. Turns out I'm much cooler to drunk girls. If I hang out with enough people like that, eventually I'll meet one that likes me sober too
  • Varine Varine:
    idk if anyone has ever done IT. I am not IT but I just got off a 20 minute phone call with the general manager asking me how to make her new computer print. I do adore her, like I know her personally, but I asked three times if the printer was on. She apologized for bothering me, and Chef Ben walked in a few minutes later, turned the printer on apparently, and then called to ask if I was trying to print shit from my house again
  • Varine Varine:
    So I have a newfound appreciation
  • Varine Varine:
    And also I'm going to remove that one from my secondary career options
  • Varine Varine:
    As I get older I'm not thinking I can do this forever anymore, and I'm kind of dead end right now. I get a fine salary and fair raises, like I can easily live my lifestyle on this normally, but I don't know if I can do this in ten years, and I don't think I want to. I don't really have any desire to take over another restaurant, and I don't want to try and own one, and I doubt I'll luck out like I did with that taco place in Texas
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a math degree but that was a while ago and I'm not positive I actually deserved that. It was kind of just given to me I feel like cuz I was in school so long. Like for a bit as a teenager I got real into the mormon thing, and my dad grew up kind of similarly. Much like he fell out of it
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway he started coming to church with me for a bit, and they gave home the I think Melchizedek? idk how to spell it, but it's the 'upper' priesthood, like he had a whole blessing thing after I got baptized, and it WAS a very neat experience. And the only reason I think they did they did that was cuz he was like late 30s, and that is kind of the age that they have the last chance at that
  • Varine Varine:
    And I mean its not, but like... I'm pretty well set in my lack of religious beliefs, I guess. And I'm a bit younger than my dad would have been then.
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I got real into, he got bored and was like you do you dude, and that's how I got a huge amount of freedom when I started doing drugs as a teenager
  • Varine Varine:
    In hindsight my parents were fantastic. but they were too fucking tired to raise kids like me. And their jobs were easier with better benefits.
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway idk where I'm going here, but I asked ChatGPT some of the same things and holy shit was it way more strict and just gave me (importantly the wrong) phone number to a hotline
  • Varine Varine:
    TH, I gotta say, though, I'm amazed you keep this up. I feel like there are you and Ghan doing whatever you're doing, Tom posting news, and then me using the chatbox as a journal every once in a while.

  • Varine Varine:
    Thanks for letting me do that, also. I know I'm not using it correctly, but somewhere along the line I went from arguing with Cheshire to using this as a kind of void for my frustrations and hopes. I like to think of the whole thing as an enigma of sorts
  • Varine Varine:
    It's not, you guys could probably blackmail me if you went back far enough. I doubt anyone would, you've always been very kind, and I'm glad to have been a part of all this! I hope you enjoy me too, cuz I'm going to keep doing it.

    In my defense I was high for a lot of that though
  • V-SNES V-SNES:
    Thanks for sharing @Varine
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Brother how long we been here together? You guys are some of my best friends and I have never even met any of you. I dont know what I would if I did not have my Varine rant to look at when I get on. How could I possibly ever shut this site down? We have been here in this little chat box through a lot of shit for a long time. I love you guys!

    I missed out on a lot of chat messages. But yeah, we're planning for my mom's funeral back in Taiwan. I'm really glad I work remotely, so I can try to leverage that and go to places outside of US while still working in US.

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    If it wasn't for my mom, I wouldn't be able to work in the US. Let alone being able to work until our office closed, and I became a full-time remote employee.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Really important though, get your wills and last testaments ready. We avoided like 2 to 3 months of waiting for probate court to get back to us.

    V-SNES I got good news I got your stuff packed for shipping and just need to get to the post office to get shipping cost!

    Oh man Cheshire, I often wonder what happened to her and most of the other people who used to be here
  • V-SNES V-SNES:
    @The Helper that's great! Looking forward to getting them!
