What I find very interesting is some reading I did some years ago. I found that most historians and socio-political analysts -- writing in the 1950's -- tended to say that the next world war would be fought over two issues -- religion and petroleum. They further discussed that it would be a war between western Judea-christian nations and Muslim nations, and would center over Mideast oil reserves.
That was in the 1950s, in the Cold War era, yet these writers had already grasped two fundamental issues facing the world that superceded the Soviet "threat" -- petroleum dependency and the age old conflict of these two large and historically quarrelsome religious groups.
Maybe we couldn't do a lot about fundamental ideological differences, but it makes me wonder why we haven't solved the oil dependency problem.

Look people the next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. That will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships. That will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 Now after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible. Europe will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. After things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place. The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. During these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers. When all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.
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 intitial strike. I'd prefer to be vaporized in the first exchange.

Yes I do. the Muslim lunatic fringe seem to be pushing more and more, apologies to the normal Muslims in the world but some of your more (shall we say "indoctrinated brothers and sisters") radical fighters seem to want a show down with the non Muslim Countries. I myself am an atheist and I will be really offended if my life was to be cut short because of either one of of these crackpot beliefs, but if the chips were down I would pick up a M16 against the forces of darkness, the scum that bomb school buses, and then take an AK47 from the dead hand of a GOOD Muslim. Then I would not have had a totally wasted life.

Yes,I agree with you,it has already started.
The most important thing is to be ready to meet God.
It is scary,but,we all need to trust God and put our Life
in his hands. If you have a "King James" version of the Bible,
here's you some scriptures to read;
Psalm 83: verses 4-8; Zech.12: verse 2
also, 1 Thess.5: verse 3

Please do not waste time asking frivolous questions like this on a forum like this. We are fellow humans like you and have as much insight into the future as you. Only God maybe has better clairvoyance than us.
Don't worry about the past. Your worrying will not change it.
Stop worrying about 3rd and 4th world wars or any other uncertain event in the future. It is only in your vivid imagination.
Live well and do justice to the present moment and the future will take care of itself.

Yea... although I don't think we would be around for very long to see the effects.
The last 2 world wars were horrifying enough. Today we have new, even more brutal technology but the same evil streak in too many humans today.

History will state that WW 3 began 9/11/2001. Now, why don't you go back and retake spelling so the rest of us don't waste time attempting to decipher what you're trying to say?

It is inevitable, why do you need to ask.
Most of us could hazard a guess as to who one side will be, but the other is an absolute certainty. I'll give you a clue, three letters, first one U, last on, A.
The way they are going, they are bound to be able to provoke a nuclear strike sooner or later, then we are all toast.

If it isn't already happening, then there will be one in a couple of hundred years time when the majority of the earth will be fried and then there will be wars to fight for arable land.... but we might not have to wait too long as North Korea will probably nuke Japan or any western target and then there will be trouble...........
