This does not bode well for avoiding WWIII.

WW3 would require a two+ major players fighting each other. I somehow don't see China or Russia aiding Turkey if they are kicked and then attacked by NATO.

Won't count as intra-NATO if the US goes through with its threat and kicks Turkey out.


Well yeah, but that's much less fun. Selective reading of Article 5 is allowing me to assume that an attack on a NATO member by a NATO member requires everyone to declare war on everyone else, including themselves, then take actions appropriate to support everyone against everyone else, in line with individual and collective self-defense. Meanwhile, everyone should be reporting everything to the Security Council too.
Having not read the Dune novels, this is my understanding of the main conflict :P

On normal internet forums, threads devolve from content into trolling. On Bay12, it's the other way around.

Trying to understand the politics and economic system of the Dune novels is a pointless, self-damaging exercise.

I can accept any economic system centered around a substance that permits physical immortality and limited prescience, no matter how impractical, so long as it does not literally violate the laws of physics.

As for politics, basically House Archimedies is threatened by House Slytherin and the Empire is weak except for the Jedi Knights who fight al-Qadea after they accept Perry Jackson as the Prophet Mohamed who has a repressed otherkin fetish for worms.
