"What will the future war with Russia be called?" Topic

Assuming that Russia invades a nordic or baltic NATO country, or elsewhere for that matter. What will we call the war?

WW3
NATO-Russian War
Russo-European War
The Putin Experiment

I believe we used to refer to it as The Third World War.

That would depend. History is written by the victors.

Not sure, but any title with Putin in it has my support.

I think they had to go through some kind of a waiting period before they named the Seven Years War, or the Thirty Years War.

I hope it's not named by some tool in the Pentagon who comes up with names like "Operation Stern Perseverance" or "Operation Ringing Clarity".

The War of Putin's Manhood?

Putin on the Blitz.

Scared Shirtless Slavic Succession War

The 50 Minute War

The War of Baltic Reunification
The War of Putin's Folly

Depending on who wins

"Putin on the Blitz."

Oh yes :)

Shootin at Putin.

Armageddon, since it will likely go nuclear.

I like 'Putin on the Blitz'. It sings…

"Putin on the Blitz"

skippy0001 for the win.

To rate being called WW III things would have to rise to such a level that the conflict would span the globe. Now if things were to come to a shooting war with Russia I could see that happening pretty fast. After all the United States and Russia share a boarder up Alaska way and I could not see China sitting on the side lines and not being involved at least indirectly or using the chaos to up their claims in the China Sea and in regards Taiwan. At that point yes you could pretty much call it a World War.

However, despite all the saber rattling and bombast it is unlikely that a shooting war will result in Europe. Cooler heads will prevail as both sides have much to loose.

Putin my have a huge ego, and loves to push the envelope, but he's not stupid. He won't invade in the Baltic.

That being said, I vote for Putin's push!

SNIP

Too Political!

Rats! Hey I took a shot

To be a World War requires the world to get involved

I think that for all his posturing Putin has more things to address on his agenda than going toe to toe with NATO – after all, he still has to regain all those 'stans that were created after the Soviet Union broke up

The End

Global Economic Apocalypse

Which is why it won't happen.

Punkrabbits suggestion wins out for me.

"The War of the Ukrainian Succession" … actually, I vote for "Shootin at Putin"

The Russians might go on the ground in Syria vs Isis

Global Economic Apocalypse

Which is why it won't happen.

Ah. The Grand Illusion.

Dynaman-I like your idea! SHOOTIN' AT PUTIN!

Sadly, it would probably be something boring like the Polish War.

I mean, think about the last several ones that involved the Anglosphere — the Vietnam War, the Falklands War, Iraq II: Electric Bugaloo …

The War of Putin's Manhood would be a functional title. Like the War of Jenkin's Ear. (Sadly, I can't see snooty historians referring to the war as Shootin' at Putin, as awesome as it is.)

The Great Patriotic War II

The War between Conservatives (Russian National Conservatives vs. American-East European Classical Liberal and National Conservatives).

ðàê íà ãîðå ñâèñòíåò – a crawdad whistling on a mountain From a traditional Russian idiom about things that are impossible or will never happen.

Götterdämmerung

Fallout.

Global Economic Apocalypse

Which is why it won't happen.

And if Donald Trump becomes US president?
Start cleaning out the Fallout Shelter folks!

Start cleaning out the Fallout Shelter folks!

I already started, when I saw that Iran deal.

Remember, folks. Duck and cover.

Armageddon.

The mutated rabbits will name it – probably something like, "Stupid Human War that Ruined the Carrots for Years War"

If the rabbits are speaking English, we must have won the post-apocolyptic mine shaft race!

We cannot allow, A MINE SHAFT GAP!
