I'm not really concerned that UK and the EU will start some WWIII against each other. What I'm more concerned with is that they will have differing policies for dealing with rogue states, and/or create competing interests in different regions of the world, especially the Middle East and Africa.
WWIII will probably start with what will look an awful lot like the Forth Crusade.
Edit: obviously I meant fourth, and I don't mean this from the religious perspective, just the European involvement in conflicts in the Middle East.
- claystu 10y agoIs this where people march out and demand we program in Forth? More seriously, I don't see the West responding to a call from the Pope to reconquer Jerusalem.
- xrange 10y agoI shudder to think of the infighting between the colorForth and ANSI Forth groups.
- rfrey 10y agoIt doesn't have to be a literal re-enactment of the crusades, it just has to rhyme. Current US political discourse has a lot in common with religious fervour, and at least one of the candidates seems OK with turn-the-middle-east-to-glass type rhetoric.
