when is world war 3 going to finialy start?

Answer 1

when israel attacks iran. This will happen by summertime.

The muslims will retaliate, and also blame the US and the entire middle east will blow up and suck in more and more countries.

Not to mention, the millions of muslims in europe will riot in the streets and make bombs for decades to come.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, WWIII will be global suicide, therefore in answer to your question, as long as there's rational superpowers who believe in MAD, there will be no WW3. By definition, the next world war wil be nuclear, how could it not. In a nuclear war there will be no winner. In a nuclear world, the only true enemy is war itself.

The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not if both sides believe no price for victory will be too high. 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 what country would be victorious, 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.

While we hear talk of a nuclear-Iran or a confrontation with NorKor, little is said about the 2 bulls in the glass shop. The arsenals of Russia and the US are enough to destroy a million Hiroshimas. But there are fewer than 3000 cities on the Earth with populations of 100,000 or more. You cannot find anything like a million Hiroshimas to obliterate. Prime military and industrial targets that are far from cities are comparatively rare. Our biggest threat is from an accidental launch by the Russians.

At the point of global suicide, it doesn't matter who is on what side.... In a nuclear age like i said before, the only true enemy is war itself.

Answer 3

Recent history would seem to indicate that world war, in the same sense that WWII was a world war, is essentially not possible.

A full scale nuclear war between any two of the of the major powers would quickly (within days, maybe even within hours) be resolve by the total obliteration of the combatant societies.

More likely would be a continuing series of brush fire wars fought by surrogates of the super powers, and that is indeed what we have seen over the last half century or so.

Just for arguments sake, let's say that a radical government got it's hands on some quantity of nuclear weapons and attacked the US. It would be impossible to remove All of the US arsenal from the board. No matter who was running the country, a nuclear attack on the American homeland would bring swift and final retaliation in the form of submarine launched nuclear weapons.

So, IMHO, world wars in the historical sense, are not really feasible in today's world of assured destruction.

Answer 4

It may have already started but not like the scale WWI and WWII were. The next word war will be urban, guerrilla, technology, information, and secret ops by all sides. I don't think we will see for long time full scale battles like in wars past.

Answer 5

11SEP2001

The rest of the world just hasn't recognized it, yet. It's like when Germany was invading Europe and the US didn't think it was important enough to get involved.

Now, the roles are reversed and the US is the first to be attacked.

It's just a matter of time.

Answer 6

It already started in 2003.

When people become tired of liberalism and decide not to take it any longer, or when Islamo-fascists attack again (whichever comes first).

The Bible says Wednesday, so...I agree with the last guy.
