I mean its been like 60 years since a major war. This "War" America is in doesnt feel like a war. I mean in the 40s, people had to change the war they lived by contributing to the war effort. Nowadays, everyday feels like any other day.

How could you guys not what a war? Not to sound evil but say, America wins : More land, more power, then its the period of 40+ years of joyful peace and propersity. Plus a war would really make this world exciting. Especially if we where fighting true evil people like the Nazis. Not insane religionous people....

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....where you go to hide, or how long you can survive. In a nuclear age like i said before, the only true enemy is war itself.

No way man, it's all about economics now. Big wars are too expensive. Keep it small and everyone can profit. None of the world powers wanna blow their cash on a war, not even the Chinese. Can you imagine the reaction if the US lost 50,000 troops in a single battle like in WW I or WW II. The public would lose it's hawkish spirit in a second. Besides that MAD and nukes have made big wars by world powers a thing of the past.

NOPE. Right about now all of Eastern Europe is scratching their head asking what the F was Georgia's president thinking invading an autonomous zone that won its freedom from Georgian rule in 1991. Also, most of Russia's partners are wondering why they elected these pro-NATO bafoons who obviously hold no sway with the USA, UK and other Western Countries. And, also saying, damn this missle shield is probably a bad idea... Soon enough Russia will find it has done sufficient damage and Georgia will agree to Russia's terms.

This war was put on your visa card, no hardship, for now.
US TV would be unpatriotic to tell you the truth, or even show you the body of a returning hero

Who is going to fight us?
No world war until someone somewhere gets their act together militarily.
