"If Russia simply takes Ukraine, then yes, WW3 will not break out. But if Putin gets ambitious and decides to reunite the Bloc, then I feel like things will get escalated. "
"I agree with you. If we go into a nuclear winter, then the war will be over faster than it started. This was also the fear reflected back in the Cold War. I hope that we do not resort to nuclear weapons."
"I hope that WWIII never even happens. The damages would be astronomical and I hope that world leaders realize that we simply cannot have a war on that scale again. War on that level will cause entire generations of men to be wiped out."
"I agree with you. If Russia allies with China, then things may turn south. If it is NATO vs. a modern Warsaw Pact, then things may begin to turn south. Nuclear weapons are also up in the air, right now. I hope that the Ukrainian people can hold out…"
"I agree with you. Russia has little going for them -- save for China. I hope that Russia realizes that their plan to reestablish the Eastern Bloc is not going to end well. Putin is an idealist, which can be negative for NATO."
"Critical Race Theory should not be taught in schools. Children should not be told what they are because of culture, creed, religon, or skin color. I hope that people realize that CRT is not good to their children. By teaching CRT, it creates these…"
"I really like block schedule. It helps me organize better and relax, which is good because I feel like our lives are already busy as it is. I hope that the administration realizes that this is good for students and that it helps us learn better. I…"
"If I was rich and dishonest, that would be pretty dope. Like I would have a bunch of money and be like every other buisness man out there, so I would fit the sterotype of a horrible person. But in actuality, I feel like being poor and honest would…"
"This is very sad. His death was unecessary and I feel like more precautions should have been taken. I really hope that the family is pressing charges because something like this should never happen. I hope that the family members will be able to…"
"I personally believe that it was staged. They're both actors, so it makes sense that they would decide to do something to stir up attention. I think that it is a bit far to charge someone with assault if they just slapped someone. It wasn't repeated…"
"I agree with you. Since NATO is not involved in the war, it is not adding up to a full on war starting. Russia's allies are small, so that is why I believe they are invading Ukraine to get back to the Eastern Bloc/Warsaw pact glory days."
"If Russia declares war on the U.S., would that infringe of M.A.D.? If so, then I fear that the world would be off far worse than anyone can imagine -- especially from Putin's perspective. Seven Days to the River Rhine is very ambitious, but Russia…"
"I hope that Russia does not use nuclear weapons to conquer Ukraine. If that happens, then I fear that NATO will become involved. Hopefully leaders take the high road instead of always getting what they want."
"The war crimes Russia has committed are not something to gloss over, but I believe that World War III is not on our horizion (as long as Putin does not use nuclear weapons). Mutually Assured Destruction scares him enough that I believe it will keep…"
"Russia may use nukes. They have put their forces on high alert, virtually DEFCON 2. I really hope that Russia realizes the mess they got into is going to be difficult to get out of. "
"Russia will most likely not start World War III, but Putin has been very rash as of late. With both sides understanding Mutually Assured Destruction, I feel like it would be unlikely that a war would happen."
"I don't know. Putin has been making very rash decisions as of late. He evidently doesn't care that their economy is crashing because he can just continue to send more and more troops into Ukraine under the the assumption of propaganda."
"I agree with you, but then again, Putin is borderline crazy. He wants to reunited the Bloc no matter what, and his ambition may be what starts the war."
"It is unlikely that a full-scale war will break out. If Russia has enough ambition to try and push past Ukraine, then I believe that this may put NATO on edge (especially if Russia invades a NATO member state)."
"I agree with you. If Russia and China decide to ally together, it could be setting the stage for another World War. I really hope that world leaders make decisions that are in the best interest of humankind."
"I believe that you are right. They just want to annex Ukraine back into their glory days of the Bloc and the Warsaw pact. I feel like Russia is also intimidated because former Warsaw pact countries are now apart of NATO."
"It would be a very quick war for them...also with the policy of mutually assured destruction, I feel like they would not risk going to war. Putin is a wild-card however, because his decision making is very poor."
"I agree with you. Putin is very unpredictable and has been making decisions that only benefit him. I really hope Russia does not resort to nuclear weapons."
"If Russia decides to pull out their nukes, however, I believe that it would be a different story. The history going on right now is riddled with tension. It is very simillar to the Cuban Missle Crisis."
The Soviet Union is in its prime. Its borders are never satisfied; always hungering for more territory, always hungering for the West. In this hypothetical 1953, the Soviet Union greenlights their plan to conquer Europe and the West. In the matter…
"For me, PE has never been mandatory. I have had an academic wavier since freshman year and they are really nice. I already work out in the mornings and I feel like I already have enough classes that stresses me out. I feel like the school should not…"
"The impact in the EU will continue to grow. This is the largest major conflict (save for the Yugoslav wars of the 90s) that we have seen since WW2 on the European continent. What the Russo-Ukranian war has that the Yugoslav war does not is its…"
"Just from personal experience, I feel like being a morning person makes me far more productive. I wake up and go to they gym, which sets my day up for success. When I sleep in -- despite sometimes needing the sleep -- I do not feel reset, but rather…"
"Child marriages are typically never consensual, so they should of course be outlawed. My grandma was married at 18, but she did so because she wanted to. The marriage was not arranged. If the marriage is arranged and children are forced to marry…"
"Cheating is never justifiable. Say you make an invention. It is unique; it has never been seen before. One of your rivals copies you and applies for the patent first. Who is cheated out the situation? Cheating is not right, and my example proves…"
"Personally,I'm fine with people taking creatine, but I would never take it for myself. I think it would be weird to stimulate your ATP production in your body artificially, whereas you can do that naturally by eating more protein and working out…"
"Nursery rhymes can be quite terrifying. I personally think they were invented to scare children or something along those lines. I feel like these rhymes, however, are harmless and just another ghost story made to scare children. The history is…"
"It depends on what ocean you swim in. Many oceans such as the Atlantic have very strong currents close to the shallows, which can prove fatal if someone gets too close to them. Other oceans such as the Pacific and Indian Oceans have much more lax…"
"Personally, sunlight does make me feel in a better mood. Sometimes when it is too sunny, however, like many days in a row, I start to grow bored of it. All in all, I believe that I enjoy stimulation the best, especially when the environment is…"
"I believe that history is very important to learn. By learning history, we are not only introduced to the trials and tribulations of our forefathers, but we are also learn about the mistakes we have made in the past. By not learning about the past,…"
"Unemployment has been higher than what it has been in prior years, but when you look at the grand scheme of things, we are doing realitively well. Other countries such India have an unemployment rate of 6.57%, which is almost twice as high as the…"
"The most frightening airstrike so far was the one of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant. If the plant were to go critical, it would be 10x worse than the Chernobyl disaster back in '81. I've heard news that they are trying to extinguish the fire, and…"
"It is a very difficult topic to broach. It is one of the most prevalent ones in a modern society, however. If we are able to create different leauges for these people, then maybe that may solve the issue. On the other hand, it may exasperbate it. By…"
"I believe that it is up to the person. If they want to get a tattoo, that is completely fine. If not, likewise. Personally, I would never get a tattoo at such a young age just because when you are young, you are more prone to make stupid decisions.…"
"If a religious class is proposed in Harlan, I believe that we should offer classes to all forms of religion. By just sticking to Christianity, we could be leaving out other groups as well. I believe that Harlan is too small to offer such a class and…"
"The enigma surrounding Amerlia Earhart is very sad. It was brought about in an era where UFO sightings were also all the rage. The issue was most likely caused to either a storm or a poor refuling procedure. I don't believe that it was staged or…"
"Dog fighting is a really terrible practice. Many owners do this for a strange, gladitorial-esque type of fun. It is really terrible what these owners subject these dogs to. I would personally never waste my money on something like this. It's a…"
"It is a strong statement to say that Trump was the best president in history. I believe that award would have to go to either Kennedy, Teddy Roosevelt, or Abe Lincoln. The nice thing about Trump was that he developed relations with countries that…"
