With a soon-to-be nuclear Iran and with North Korea on the horizon as well, and various civil-wars being fought worldwide, what do you think the chances of World War III, or at least a large-scale nuclear battle are?

..the danger lies in the stance that certain people have these days especially in the US administration that somehow nuclear war is becoming safer and more controllable with their new tactical "mini" nukes and a policy now after the latest nuclear posture review, that nukes can be used preemptively in regular theatre combat like taking out irans underground bunkers that can withstand conventional weapons ... i think the posture is dangerous and it could get out of control real quick ... i would say its a high probability like 50/50 ...

I feel the chances are seriously in favor of some nuclear devices being set off by some maniac in the near future, with the result of millions dying somewhere (Presumably Tel Aviv) hundreds of millions dying in the country (Probably Iran) that commits the aggression.
The USA, Britain, France, and even Russia will make a horrific example of that country.

I hope it never happens because if it does, I doubt anyone will be around to talk about it. We can only hope that it never comes to a full-scale nuclear war.
I once read somewhere that the first 2 world wars were fought with guns and planes, that the third world war would be fought with nukes, and the fourth would be fought with sticks and stones.

you will possibly desire to undergo in techniques that regulate into written interior the hight of the chilly conflict whilst Russia and u . s . a . have been bitter enemies. i do no longer think of Russia has any valid reason to attack the U. S.. Now possibly a russian made bomb got here across that is way right into a terrorist palms and attack the U. S. it incredibly is a miles extra achievable reason. WW III stands out as the final conflict of religion...Christians (NATO and Israel) v. Islamic worldwide places. Going to conflict over diverse religious ideals is ridiculous. however the conflict on terror is the bebeginningf it. we are scuffling with people who persist with a religous text fabric that asserts to kill infinfidelsin extremely some words. there is going to be no winner...they combination interior the inhabitants and have no be apologetic approximately of dying. we'd might desire to kill hundreds of thousands to stop it...and that i dondon'tink we can do this. Its a tousled international ceremony now...till faith is long previous...or human beings have lots extra of an open techniques and tolerance then possibly it would be non violent yet it is going to take place quickly.

All out war has destroyed innocence by greed before, will the same power struggle happen again? You can bet your bacon fried rear end on it, because people in this age just don't comprehend other people and the value of life. When a profit is all one seeks in life, there are loose ends to clean up to achieve those jaded goals.

They have been saying this for 60 years. I do not really think we are any closer today that in 1946.
Everyone is strongly aware that nuclear weapons will cause the total annihilation of the world
