In reply to the discussion: The United States is destroying itself -- Rebecca Solnit [View all]Aussie105
(7,997 posts)72. I'd like to pre-emptively declare the following countries as being neutral in the upcoming global conflict:
UK, Ireland.
Europe, most of.
Australia.
Canada.
Greenland.
Asia, except China.
New Zealand.
Japan.
South America.
Africa.
The roles of the following countries beyond the obvious participants, Iran and the US/Israel, is as yet uncertain:
Russia.
China.
Other ME countries.
Rules:
No nukes, but everything else is game.
Advice:
Stock up on toilet paper (!), canned food, and if you are a hard core Armageddon survivalist, guns and ammo.
Time will tell if I'm joking or serious.
