This isn't our battle. We don't need to be there.

Now, if we are talking other world powers, such as China, then yes. This is possible. Same with Russia and/or North Korea. Your links are all over the place saying "so and so is gonna prepare for war with so and so". Some don't even back up this thread's topic.

If there is a world war 3 then it is not to do with presidents but instead the hidden hand. Trump is strong minded and is not scared to stand up against the Rothschild's and Rockefeller's. (I hope)

That said, I think another world war is the last thing that any of the parties involved want. There's too many reasons not to go to war (economic interdependence for example). However, in such a powder keg as Syria, if a spark inadvertently comes into being, the situation could escalate, get out of control and the shit could hit the fan... Then we'll all be dragged into the ensuing shitfest.

that is why i asked about the NATO movement in the Aegean.

If Turkey is out of line then NATO needs to get them back under control. That would be the reasonable response. Trying to provoke a war by blaming Russia for this and that is not productive except for those that actually do want WWIII...

so its not "Russia attacked turkey" but "turkey made a hostile move against Russia".

That's not hostile, that's standard protocol for unidentified aircraft flying in your country's airspace. The Russian pilot should have never been there, and could have responded to communications, and either situation would have avoided it being shot down.
