Oh, just awesome.

According to the official, the militant fighters have been using U.S.-made weapons seized from the Iraqi army, including M1 Abrams tanks.

How long until you guys think this spins out of control?

[DON SVO]

How long until you guys think this spins out of control?

I dunno... 2 months back or so?

I dunno... 2 months back or so?

I'd say more like 3 years ago, on 2/11/11 precisely when Mubarak resigned.

[Scott Mc]

Ok lol, I will rephrase. How long do you think till this spins into a world war?

I don't think it will, those bombs dropping are basically our time out card. Obama has already said he won't send in any ground troops and the Iraqi army doesn't have the stomach to retake anything.

Oh, just awesome.

They'll run out of fuel and ammo soon enough, ISIS doesn't have the infrastructure needed to keep that kind of equipment going for long.

I hope you are right. But I think you are wrong.

Right now we have conflict with Russia and Ukraine, with Putin joking about taking Alaska.

We have Israel and the Palistinians, and Nutyaho saying for the US to "never second guess him again"

We have the ISIS being assholes in Iraq, taunting for someone to get involved.

It's only a matter of time..

This is a pretty wise take on it. It is like we have this campfire all set up, soaked with gasoline and all it needs is someone to come along with a match.

That one spark will trigger multiple other conflicts almost within days.

China invades taiwan
North Korea goes south
Pakistan India conflict
Russia goes west

Probably a few more that I'm missing.

[Trip McNeely]

Mexico invades Texas...oh wait...
