what are the chance we will go to war?

I don't think so. And the reason I think that is that I just can't see a country having the obscene stupidity to launch ICBM's at anyone.

If Hitler existed in this day and age you think he wouldn't dare use nuclear weapons? Yeah i don't know about that.

Ur bf is just trying to scare u so you will ride him like its his last year. Brexit has sent chills through the world, they are cowering at our show of strength

If a NATO invasion of any of these countries took place it would be very likely. Not only would the entire economy be destroyed and millions would die, the political and cultural structure of the entire country would be destroyed.
Can you honestly say that if a well armed huge army from Russia or China landed on American, or European or British shores that a nuke wouldn't be used at least as a threat ? Who will be stubborn enough to try and call the bluff about a nuke strike ?

Russia has 1,700 nuclear warheads on ICBMs fast enough to penetrate any missile defense. Please think before you write.

It's not a case of being fast enough to penetrate missile defences, merely a numbers game. The things is though NATO has the potential to destroy Russia in a similar way. I guess you could argue that if we were both destroyed, we had the better country to begin with so they won because they lost less, but I think that would be a stretch.

war between 2 countries powerful enough to obliterate the entire world ? Yep that seems really likely.

A bit out of topic but the data that your boyfriend passed on to you is meant to be confidential I believe. He shouldn't be telling anyone outside his workplace let alone publish it on a public forum!

Yes, the posting is for three years. So he has two more years ago and then he's done. His wife is in the same regiment. They are there to move UK troops out of Germany over the 3 year period.
He has had enough now. Been in the Army 16 years. Done 2 tours of Afghanistan and was in at the beginning of the Iraq war.

When he's finished his posting in Germany - around 2019-2020 hopefully.

You do realise that your boyfriend is lying to you to try to impress you?

Oh, and he is very likely frequenting places like 'Partytreff' often? All the soldier do, married or single.

he landed earlier today and went straight (more or less) into a brief so i doubt it but thanks anyway
and why would the potential of going to war impress me?

Because you feel scared. You feel like his situation is dangerous / exciting than it is and he likes giving you that impression. You always get people like that.
You know, some people will claim, "I'm with the CIA but shhhh, keep it on the down low". They want to impress.
Hell there are some squaddies who'll claim to be special forces to seem more dangerous / exciting.
We are no where near close to war. Russia buzzes our air space, we buzz theirs. They conduct exercises near our border, we conduct exercises near theirs.
I'm sorry to say it but your boyfriend is lying to big up his job to you.

well not really as its people opinions and everyone knows the army are always prepping for war...it is their job...
?

Look at what I highlighted in bold in your quote in my previous post. I was talking about "the under 10 min" piece of information. That's definitely confidential!
