could the world end sooner than we think?

Question

To my opinion i think the world is going to end sooner than i thought it would be. i might be wrong and im still in highschool but i always watch the news. Iran are being stupid about the nuclear program and to my opinion they got this "technology" from saddam hussein. North korea is scaring me a whole bunch. testing their nuclear missles almost everyday. its making me worried. my cousin is stationed in south korea and his base is always on alert. man what am i saying. i dont know politics i dunno about anything. im just stating my opinion. all im asking is what do you guys think about Iran and north korea. im lds and it says the three counrties will fight with power and i think its us iran and north korea. so all im asking is what is your opinion about the "end of the world thing"

Answer 1

Your worry is in the wrong place, at least the armeggegon scenario. The two bulls in the glass shop are Russian and the US.

The end of the world could be 28 minutes from now or 280 years from now. When the superpowers square off against each other in two camps, then come back and we'll talk apacolypse.

Until then, just think regional conflicts, wars between rump states, proxy wars and brinksmanship. If you recall the Yom Kippur War in 1973, a coalition of Arab States (Egypt, Syria and Jordan) were soundly defeated by the Israelis. That was a worse situation than the current conflict and it didn't raise a blip on the world war radar (not that it didn't have the potential to spark a global war).

The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not. In the first 30 minutes, nearly a billion people will have been vaporised, mostly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. Another 1.5 billion will die shortly thereafter from radiation poisoning. The northern hemisphere will be plunged into prolonged agony and barbarity.

Eventually the nuclear winter will spread to the southern hemisphere and all plant life will die. You ask when is the apacolypse, you are asking when will we commit global suicide. My answer is it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east.

Our biggest risk is an accidental launch of nukes by one of the nuclear powers.

Answer 2

When I was in high school, I thought that the Russians (which is what we called all of the people in the USSR) were going to nuke us at any minute. My Catholic teachers kept saying that China would be the one. I walked in fear for many years. (That's what ANY KIND of "terrorist" will do to you--make you walk in fear...)

Well, since that time, I've been married twice, finished several college degrees, had two children and five grandchildren, etc. etc.
Don't let fear paralyze you! Start studying politics, looking for the best candidate to vote for when you are old enough. Do good to others (It spreads). Pray for peace. And live your life!
(That's the Granny in me talking.....)

Answer 3

Saddam hated Iran. He would'nt have given military advantage to Iran or Syria because they are both Shiite. Now the PLO????? Mebbe.

Answer 4

i think it could also.the media has turned against God (hip hop gets worse by the minute..) and so have other people.the war is the main topic of this world,global warming is getting worse everyday or so..and the book of revelation says the Lord will destroy the world with fire..be prepared!!!!!

Answer 5

With many nations itching to flex their nuclear might, it may be sooner rather than later.
