It's just that **** keeps popping up more and more lately, and I'm just starting to notice it.
But **** has
always been popping up. I would suggest to you that it popped up in a much bigger way in 1939, 1948, 1962, and 1979.
As far as the rest of your second paragraph goes, I refer you back to your topic starter:
Well, if i recall correctly, when the stuff hit the fan in 1939, a World War DID happen. We really had no business getting involved in Korea, kinda like where we are now, but i digress. And if the situation in 62 had gone where many feared it would, it could(and likely WOULD) have affected most of the world whether they got involved militarily or not.
But the point is that in each of those years there were major world powers involved (1939: Germany, Italy, Great Britain, France, and later on the USA, the USSR, and Japan. In '48, '62, and '79 it was the USA vs. USSR (or NATO vs. the Warsaw Pact if you prefer.) And I guess you can throw 1950's Korea into the mix as well, even though that was a United Nations gig. I just don't see anything like that happening now. North Korea? I'm not all that sure they can even beat the ROK. Last I checked the South Koreans have a pretty big military of their own. Iran? They couldn't even beat Saddam Hussein in a war that lasted 8 years. You are going to have a hard time convincing me that these clowns are somehow going to ignite World War III.
