I know for me and maybe for many of you this has slowly become the most serious issue we have ever lived through. As much as we all like to joke and chant about doom, For once DOOM is actually here. Noone can deny it, the tensions are EXTREMELY high right now everywhere. It could go either way at this point and i am starting to hope that it goes in the good way because i dont think any of us want to be around when the big boys start throwing punches at each other!
 Quoting: SnakeBite


The most sensible comment I have seen so far on this thread. I grew up during the very tense '70s and '80s and was following world events (as best we could then) from the age of eleven. All of a sudden I feel like a helpless kid and it's the Cold War all over again.

How many people of my generation remember two very influential TV movies from the early '80s? I urge the younger people on this forum to watch "THREADS", and "THE DAY AFTER", from the UK and US respectively, they convey the true horror of a nuclear war.

While many of us here on opposite sides of the political fence are busy slagging each other down, immense powers are squaring off and ultimately, it's all of us that will suffer.

In the event of an all-out NATO / Russian war, we here in the UK are sitting ducks. Even a conventional war would devastate our island, and there's nowhere to run.

What scares me the most, is that the majority of people these days appear to be so obsessed with themselves and with shallow celebrity culture that they fail to see the seriousness of all this. Things were quite different 30 years ago.

If I post on Facebook an article regarding the current crisis, nobody bothers to read it. But a cat playing the piano, or Justin Beiber? Suddenly I am swamped with "likes" and opinions. The world is half asleep it seems.

Well, in my opinion russian military isn't so stupid to issue a real ultimatum.
They have the whole Crimea without using a single bullet, has no sense use weapons now.

I saw both of those movies in full on YouTube for the first time just last year. Scary stuff indeed. And incredibly depressing.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53122699


i remember watching it in when it was on tv. i was about 18, i was depressed and distraught for a good few weeks. i think the whole nation was shocked. i dont think theyve ever repeated it. i swore i would never watch it again, but did a few months ago. its still as harrowing, and still runs rings around the american version
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54258597


I would also add "The War Game" a british documentary from 1965. If I remember well, the BBC refused to show it at that time because it would have scared people too much. And still in 2014 it is pretty shocking. Full movie is on youtube.
 Quoting: Temnozor


Yes, another very frightening film, I have a copy myself, I don't think I could bring myself to watch any of the above again. Yet another from the early '80s was "The Old Men at the Zoo" It dealt with a nuclear war between the UK and a fictional Middle Eastern country, another quite frightening series.

It takes one stuborn and patriotic UKR army commander to start general fuckup, situation is very delicate, we need first shootings and bodies on the streets and then all will go to hell.

New goverment in Kiev has no real control over the country and especially UKR military, its standoff, nobody knows anything and everybody is scared. So much guns in the streets, no way this can be controlled.

Have seen too many updates on all this on CNN and FOX news all weekend long. Normally they put us all to sleep with nothing in the weekends and no real news.

Based on the media I tend to think something potentially serious "could" be developing here.....more serious then most believe.

I don't even remember weekend updates on the news when the Syria thing was hot and heavy late summer.

Sure they prefer everyone to switch sides. Apparently not everyone agrees on that. At one point the shooting over Ukraine will start inevitably. That's why the Russian Senate voted in a televised session on RT. Perhaps it will start with Crimea, perhaps somewhere else. It would be nice if the usurpers in Kiev lay down weapons and leave for Lvov where they belong to, but they don't. Hope Kerry tomorrow will make them stick to Feb 21 signatures. If the war doesn't start today.
