"Here Are The Places Where World War III Could Start In 2019" Topic

"The flashpoints may change over time, but the fundamental foundations of conflict—the decay of U.S. military hegemony and of the global international order that has accompanied it—mean that the near future will likely become more hazardous than the recent past.

The world has avoided war between major power war since 1945, even if the United States and the Soviet Union came quite close on several occasions during the Cold War.

They dissed our guy by not having the proper staircase available for him to walk down from Air Force One.

If that had been me, I'd have told the pilots, "wheels up in 60 seconds" and departed forthwith.

Iran, and/or the South and East China Seas seem like good, possible flashpoints too.
