The United States should pull of Iraq now. The United States should not be concerned about either Korea or Iran. There is no need for the US to be concerned about Hong Kong, or the crap with Pakistan and India.
So we pull out. And here's what happens....
- South Korea invades North Korea after nearly fiftey years of fighting over who's right and who's wrong.
- Iran goes nuclear, and Isreal takes them out. Iran launches a nuke into Isreal and Isreal fires back. Glass parking lots spring up all over the middle east - and the world's oil supply is cut off.
- India and Pakistan, tired of fighting over Kashmir, decide that lobbing nukes at each other is perfectly acceptable. Dell computers looses all of it's customer support staff in the first wave of attacks.
- China decides to invade Hong Kong and restore it to the mainland there.
By this time WWIII has broken out. I'm going way out on a limb here.... But then Japan - having all of it's oil cut off because of what's going on in the middle east - attacks what's left of Russia, or perhaps invades Alaska. Germany decides to rearm itself, and the French who haven't showered since WWII start getting jumpy to they launch a pre-emptive strike at Germany.... England suffers from the nuclear fallout and starts basting away at France and Germany. All Europe is now at war, as is the middle east and Asia.
Meanwhile the US is gonna mind it's fucking business while the the governments of fifteen differnt countries fail because they are no longer being supported by the United States.
I'm not always proud of what the US does. But who else is gonna step up to the plate? The British Empire is gone, France is afraid of it's own shadow, Germany doesn't want to start shit, and Russia is just down and out right now.

This was great. Not saying I think all of it will happen but some of it made me laugh and I thank you for posting it
Everyone thinks that Isreal is some offensive powerhouse when in fact they are set up right now as a counter attacking (arguably defensive) powerhouse. They will only launch after being launched upon, I do not think they are a pre-emptive striker.
Weither you want to admit it and change because of it, a warzone is a warzone and you need to take precautions because of it. In the real world it does not really matter what you believe, there is what is and what isn't and also what you have control and power over and what you do not.
Here is another trip into logic....... The police have a suspect in an apartment building, you come out of another apartment building across the street and fire a gun into the air, what do you think happens? Are the police to be blamed? We can go on and on about how the US should not be there, but the fact of the matter is, they are, and since they have all the bombs, tanks and planes (in other words power) I think the best thing to do is keep your head down and make sure you do nothing that will draw attention to yourself. Anyone who says that in a warzone they are going to give a moments thought to weither a person firing a gun who is not dressed in a uniform that says "good guy" and looks exactly like the bad guys before pulling the trigger is being unrealistic. If I was over there I would be wearing a fucking shirt that said "civilian" and be walking around with my hands empty and up everywhere I go. That is just common sense.
