Please explain what aspect of the UK would make us "Multi-Polar".

I think you better get a better grasp of the English language if your going to write a decent thesis.

Or maybe your poll is just nonsense??????? laugh

If UK is not a multi-polar what is it? Define the way you think. Is that clear enough for you.

I think he means bi polar, Robbie.

I have known for a long time that BRITs were bi-polar. Just listen to one of the BRIT coaches on the pitch....and you hear what I mean. One moment he toasting a player or official alive....the next moment he is hugging and kissing them for the play or call.

Like they say...life is like the sports we play. Or is that sports is like the life we live? grin

Then again.....when you have a Italian as your head national team coach....it shows the entire FA to be totally disfunctional.......laugh

Multipolarity is a distribution of power in which more than two nation-states have nearly equal amounts of military, cultural, and economic influence. You should have at least an underground degree to understand the question

Your education must be substandard, because the "UK" is not polar at all, in geographical terms.

Try using the internet, and look for a pictorial view of the globe.

Then, to help, i'll give you a clue.

The poles of the planet are generally at the top and bottom of the globes, and are generally called The Artic and Antartica.

I'm assuming they have a globe wherever your studying???

Clear enough for you?????????doh

Just a play on the words, my friend.

Since I have a degree in Poly Sci....no need for lesson in multi polarity.

You forgot one country.....China....they should most definitely be there.

And I will now take my underground degree and depart......grin

ali110: Good post,I think it is


I don't think so.

The next war if global will break humanity, what we have at present is global "skirmishes".

The next and probably last was will be because of either energy, or water supply.

I cant foresee a global war because of terrorism, certainly not economic interests, and i cant see China and or Russia coming to blows with the United States for anything less than a nuclear 1st strike.

I just cant see anything else pushing them that far, posturing and grandstanding their all equipped for, but global conflict their not.

And as for the UK, well were not geared up even to defend ourselves, never mind being capable to project a global military force.

I'm afraid he maybe studying from a textbook, but whichever data he believes him to believe the UK is geared up to be anything other than a bit part player in Military terms, well his data is approx 60 years out of date.

In military terms were stripped to the bone, but in financial, and intelligence and monetary terms we punch well above our weight.

In Special Operations terms, and i do mean in military terms, our forces are the very best there are.

And i'm afraid that isn't taught in and post-grade course, but you might well be taught some of the work in Fayetteville.grin

But that's on a need to know basis, and above his education level.professor

I tell you something Robbie. I like your new Taurus. Your people did a heck of a job on it. It is the next air space control fighter/bomber of 2020 and beyond. I hope we get caught up here ASAP. I would not be surprise if BAe does not have a bunch of USAF types knocking on their door. If that thing does not pull 15 Gs, I will eat my hat.

Our technologies are still being focused on Islamic terrorism. The White House gets all gagga over a new set of BDUs for the Army for Afghanistan. Heck we are there for only a few months more. One of those go figure....Yes, they brought the new BDUs out after the he said we would withdraw in June of 2011. Only in America.....maybe the Army was trying to tell him something!

But we got some surprises coming. Our new F-35......is one sweet machine. 3 versions...one STOL, one carrier, and one land. Stleathy and fast. Faster than anything we have built. 3000 are in the production order over 25 years. Let us face it, very few build em like we do. Russia and China are going to have problems with it. It has tech in it that would fly a star ship. They got a new Top Gun movie coming out....look for Tom Cruise to matched up in a F-35 going head to head with the Russia/Brazilian Stleath fighter bomber. Likely sold to the Iranians. They have to get the politics in their some place.

If you are good to us, we let you bring a Taurus over and get into the film.

Speaking of Afhganistan. Operation Anaconda is going very well. All 6 of the tribal groups are at the peace table...the only one group is not....alQeada.

Holbrooke has them to the table. Petreuas is keep the gun to them to keep them there. So I am think we are going to have a winter offensive in Afghanistan. First one since Alexander the Great. Press them all winter long. Not even the Russians did it.

Anyways was one of our end game options that I wrote on back in
2001-2. I had go to back to 1890s to find a military success in a remote area against the ingenious forces. Gen. Scott vs the Apaches/Comanches. Operation Anaconda comes straight from that kind of military tactics. So tell your guys to get winter whites and good long multi layer long johns....it is cold there, Baby.

We do that and it gets a peace treaty....then all we got to do is to finish off alQeada.....now back to the thread topic....we were talking....multi polarity.

Why do you think that modern high tech military would ever been equal in strength or ability? Because my position is they cannot be.

A conventional world war is highly unlikely to happen .as there are no real world power countries now .War will be fought in cyber world, and by using rouge technologies like Genetic modifications,Climate manipulations etc However the conflicts around the world will grow in number substantially .It will be impossible to contain religious terrorism as many countries promote this directly and indirectly for resources . small wars will be fought over the world for resources like water , minerals and oil wealth. The human civilization is sure to bleed but an all out war is highly unlikely.

Nuclear weapons will be used only as deterrent not as a surgical weapons. The countries are aware of the consequence of using these weapons. They will never ever use these

bollywood: Nuclear weapons will be used only as deterrent not as a surgical weapons. The countries are aware of the consequence of using these weapons. They will never ever use these



Yes, but the thing is, any number of factors can override the "deterrant threat".

We are living in a world where the precious resources such as oil, are diminishing at an every increasing rate. You see it now that muscle countries are jockeying for position for these resources. When push comes to shove, and when it's down to the nitty gritty last reserves, there will be actions taken to secure them. There isn't any country that is just going to lay by the side while their competitor scoops in for what is left.


A great example of a way a nuclear exchange could happen is simple miscommunication and misinturrpretation of intentions. A great movie that portrays this is an American film called "By Dawns Early Light". It's about an American - Soviet exchange that started simply by misinturrpreting one anothers actions and it escalated quicker and more intensely, with the end result being a nuclear exchange. Just because we live in the technology age, doesn't mean that we are immune from this. A great example of this in recent history is when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missles on a little island called Cuba in the 1960's. We were litterally a heartbeat away from a full blown nuclear exchange. Technology hasn't changed enough to prevent this type of miscommunication & misinturrpretation. We just got lucky that Kruschev "blinked" first. Had we landed Marines on that beach, the Soviets were under orders to launch their tactical nukes..Had that happened, a full strike response would have been the only answer that Kennedy could have given in response.

The situations and scenarios have changed . There is no Soviet Now. US has weakened to a teeth less state. If The situation was like before , the Iraq/Afghanistan Invasion would have triggered an all out war. The days of conventional wars are over. With the monstrous resource advantage US is struggling to win a war to people operating from the caves . The days to come belongs to unconventional wars, which aim to destabilize the economy not the military. For example Genetic Engineering technology is far more dangerous than the Nuclear technology , the technology is freely available and don’t need any military set up to launch that. Imagine someone sneaks a few virus/germs to your country that could have devastating effect on your corps, health ,which has no medicine discovered at all ? Cyber war is another sphere of conflict. Debentures and trade manipulations could be another thing. But a nuclear world war is far from reality .
