Do you think we are about to enter WW3? and why?

Answer 1

No. I think America is entering new levels of mass media brainwashed anxiety and fear levels.

Its time the American population stopped trusting their media.

Answer 2

I think the Axis is going to be Costa Rica, Liechtenstein, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Turkmenistan, and Laos. It's always the quiet ones you have to be worried about.

Besides, the Swiss really need to put their Army Knives to good use. You're all going to be screwed when the Swiss break out their... err... corkscrews.

There's a quote from "A Hunt for Red October" that states the next major war will be one with no monuments. Russia and the US still have enough nukes to wipe everyone out several times over.

Plus the idea of a Nuclear Winter scares me more than the intial strike. I'd perfer to be vaporized in the first exchange.

Answer 3

It's too soon to tell but if you Google up a map and look at the areas in the mid-east and beyond, it's pretty much looking like the stage, and everyone's strategies are being set.

Start zooming out. Let's look at the bigger picture. There are lots of other conflicts in the world that are very important to the matter as well. Doesn't matter that currently the Israel-Hezbollah thing is getting all of the media attention right now.

Maybe we aren't, I'm leaning towards "no" at the moment however, the situation is volatile and changing minute by minute.

I hope not.

But I give it 100 years TOPS.

Answer 4

We are already in WW3. It began on November4, 1979 when the US Embassy in Tehran was overrun by Islamic militants. Jimmy Carter sat on his hands for 14 months and sent the message that we'd do nothing when so provoked. Clintoon's terms in office served only to reinforce the idea. What the terrs did not count on was George W. Bush...

Answer 5

i think we're already in ww3. on sep 11th, the world changed when terrorists struck the first blow against the free world.

ever since then, many nations have been roped into the fight against islamic fundementalism, NOT ISLAM, and i would say we're in kinda a ww3 already.

just that there was no overt declaration of war.

well actually there was when BUsh declared war on terrorism before moving into afghanistan

Answer 6

Yes, a lot of tension in the Middle East. Things won't slow down. Countries will take sides. North Korea are the brink of doing something crazy.

Answer 7

If you had asked that a few months ago I would say no. Things are changing however. As a former veteran I can answer this with knowledge of war and how things work politically to start wars. First look at the economic situation around the world right now. It is not to far away from desperate in many places and has reached that in some places. The whole idea of economics resolves around scarcity, and supply and demand. These can be affected either through natural events and disasters or artificially through political and business deals. The fact that oil and food and other raw commodities are being so politically maneuvered as if on a Chess Board and also by increasing greedy CEO's and business owners the world over can only lead to war sooner or later. Also once you make a commodity needed to improve quality of life scarce you not only make the price go up, you make people angry. This leads to political leaders sticking their noses in places they have no business. Also it leads to false assumptions about a country's intentions. Look at how we look to the rest of the world right now for a good example. We acted in anger, but our leaders took the time to try to take advantage of the situation to gain from it. And they also acted in ignorance due to bad intelligence. Now we have many enemies we didn't have before and many countries no longer trust us. I am not saying this will lead to World War III or that this war on terror is wrong, only that these kind of actions on the part of governments can add up to lead to a bigger conflict. Also a new president will most likely reverse the adverse affects from the current actions. And also lets not discount terrorism. It has started many wars. Look at the Middle East, and also World War I and our current War on Terror. I am leading up to the idea that the true purposes of actions and countries can get lost quickly when tempers flare or leaders get to greedy. Even though World War I was initiated by terrorist it was the subsequent declarations of war by the countries on each side and their allies that led to the conflict becoming a World War. Not unlike the war on terror. Thankfully war is too expensive for many countries to wage today for any length of time. The problem is that areas where war has persisted over time can become the future places for bigger wars to begin. Also global shortages due to growing economies and an industrial base that can not meet the demand has led to war and can lead to a future war. In World War II Japan fought as much for lands rich in resources as for anything else. And the lack of resources almost crippled the allies until America entered the war. Then the lack of resources hurt Germany because we destroyed their resources and industry. So to answer your question requires many different things to be taken into account. Also sometimes things have to happen in a particularly unlikely way. So if anyone says that due to a particular point or action they can say we will or will not have another World War then they are wrong and I also think maybe we are in World War III since modern day wars are often fought bloodlessly on the "business" field. Also the War on Terror adds to that idea of World War III when you add the problems it has caused the world economy. You don't have to fight a war if you can get what you need through trade agreements and yes this is part of war because the lack of trade agreements often leads to war. Look at the American Revolution. Many of the actions that led to war were taxes and tariffs on free trade. Sound familiar to today? The U.S. and China compete with much enthusiasm for trade with countries that have what we both want. It is a kind of war in itself. What if all countries quite selling oil and steel to China? Their economic growth would crash. This might have repercussions around the world as suddenly the other things China was buying could no longer be afforded and the countries selling them lost much revenue themselves. It might even led China to decide to take what it needs while it is able. Sounds like a World War to me. I will not discuss nuclear weapons here since they are a weapon only the truly insane would use to precipitate a war since the entire world would turn on them. Also since we can pretty well destroy the entire world several times over they are, while a true threat, somewhat negated. Hope that helps you. Hope you like the answer.
