[quote=Dinh AaronMK]We're one major war off from basically coming around full circle.[/quote]
We're also at point where the lack of a major war breaks that circle, and modern trends cast doubt on the likelihood of a WW3 any time soon.

[quote=Mortalbean]I have no idea what to make of this statement. Did you mean to say that Russia was goaded by Germany?[/quote]
I meant exactly what I said, Russia moved their troops before they were involved because they were scarred of being made bitches again. If Russia hadn't mobilized then Germany wouldn't have any need to, and WWI would have stayed a small conflict in the Balkans.
