how long before WW111,is the war in iraq a prelude to it?

Answer 1

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 2

To chicken- Your name fits you perfectly, I find it funny how you think "backing out" is the solution, as if the terrorists will decide to leave us alone if we leave, remember 911, they'll chase us home. Backing out is not the solution, I wouldn't have gotten through highschool if i would've backed out of every fight that came my way, and the US won't be around much longer if it backs down from the terrorists. If the US or Israel were planning on attacking Iran (which they aren't) it would only be because of the show of hostilities by the Iranians, they took a ship of Brits hostage for God's sake, and they're telling us they have nuclear capabilities now. And to answer the question the war in Iraq is most likely a prelude to world war 3. World war 3 is inevitable if you look at these idiots threatening us or our allies, such as the leaders of North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela, they hate the US with a passion and are going to look for any oppurtunity to band together and attack, it's only a matter of time.

Answer 3

The war is almost here. Iraq is part of a prelude to it but if the United States or Israel (both are planning it) attack Iran that will mark the beginning of it. If that happens then we'll be headed for $9 a gallon of gas and $300 a barrel of oil. I've studied this subject for a long time and I think it's about here. I think we'll be in it by the end of the year unless we back out of iraq and iran. We are also warring with Afghanastan. We need to back out of there too.

Answer 4

There is not going to be a WWIII.

There is going to be a war against Iran then syria. Possibly venezuala. Anyone with Oil who is sort of hostile to the United States.

Answer 5

Not long and yes.
