    And War 10. We’re skipping War 9 because the number nine sounds too much like “death” in some languages and the marketing team likes big round numbers.

      I thought it was because “War 9” is too similar to “Win 9” or Windows 9x. This could cause software compatibility issues so its best to just skip straight from 8 to 10.

      Right now we’re releasing War 10, and because War 10 is the last version of War. It’s all about War as a service.

        Okay, just for shits 'n giggles we’ll throw in a War 11. Just mind that it can’t be fought with perfectly good legacy weapons, those will need to be replaced.

        War 8 with a large regional sub-conflict called War 8+ War X (pronounced ten) which revolutionizes warfare. You’re gonna love it. Gets renamed into War Xs but nothing much is new. Kicks back into War 11 and local conflict War 11 Pro which is smaller than the regional War 11 Pro Max though honestly, they’re all the same.

        Eventually gets rebranded as War 2026 even though conflict is taking place in 2025.

          Meanwhile there’s some annoying neckbeards over here acting all superior talking about GNU/ArmedConflict or as I’ve recently started calling it GNU + ArmedConflict.

    World War: Jugg3rnaut

    After being on the wrond side of history in the previous two world wars, Germany is tasked to lead the free world against Russia, America, China, and India, all of which are seeking to exterminate democracies from all around the world, to go back to the era of “strongman leaders”.

    Meanwhile Ukraine is joining them, by offering them the drone controling super-AI called Jugg3rnaut they stole from Microsoft using their hackers…

    This is actually very serious.
    People forget countries have secret defence pact. There was a talk Iran and Russia have once.

    I’m not interested in ww3

        Lol. Iran has a strategic defence treaty with china.
        Why do u think their cargo planes fly in?
        Why do u think Trump had a Freudian slip and said ground invasion might be needed - he was told bombing will do jack.
        Israel is running out of air defence at this point.

          Brother, you can’t say “Iran and Russia have a defense pact” and then laugh and pivot to China after I point out Russia is not going to be able to make good on that pact. You haven’t earned the right to be arrogant if you never mentioned China in your first comment. I wasn’t talking about China. But now that your mention China…

          China is not currently interested in a proxy war to defend a middle eastern ally of convenience. They’re gearing up to invade Taiwan. They will leave Iran to fend for itself, like how Russia let Syria collapse.

          In all likelihood, Iran is gonna be forced to just take the L and do a bit of posturing.

          China hasn’t said shit. They’re very busy trying to avoid interrupting Trump

          All China has to do is not collapse for a few years, and they get to be the global superpower. And the trade war has helped unify them while also making stronger ties to US allies

          They’ve been handed everything they want on a silver platter, they’re not giving up the Chinese century for Iran
