will we be at war in three years?

Answer 1

It 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

Where have you been for the last 4 1/2 years.

Answer 3

Assuming that Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama is our president (as would be the case if we held the 08 election today), yes we'll be at war 3 years from now. However, we will have long left Iraq.

Instead, we'll invade Sudan to intervene in a Civil War which the Democrats falsely refer to as a "genocide" so that they can live out their fantasies of "saving Darfur." It will be Iraq on a much larger scale. Unlike Saddam Hussein, the 2 sides in Sudan actually have legitimate armies. We're having trouble dealing with a few resistance fighters in Iraq and we're going to be in a disaster worse than Vietnam when the Democrats invade Sudan. We'll probably also be at war in Iran and losing badly there as well. The draft will probably be back (John Edwards calls for reinstating it in his platform, as do many second tier Democrats, though Barack and Hillary are too smart to run on that, even though they probably agree). Young Americans will either be fleeing for Canada or staying and fighting, either for the government or against it.

If we are fortunate enough to have Ron Paul as our next president, this won't happen. He's the most viable anti-war candidate (unless you count the Democrats who want war in Sudan and Iran, but not Iraq, as anti-war).

Answer 4

There is no apparent end in sight to the war we are currently in... The war on Terrorism. I suspect that it will continue for a great many years to come since the principle terrorist ideals are being fueled in large part by religious differences in order to emotionally charge its faithful followers into a fighting frenzy and thus advance the agenda of specific terrorist defined political aims.

The divisiveness of unscrupulous political leaders have frequently used one religious belief against another to motivate an army of unified fighting soldiers.

Answer 5

We R at war now! Who we'll also be fighting in 3 years time is down to our nut Govt & politicians! I can only hope it will be not be other Vietnams or Iraqs!

The Middle East is not our concern. Let the Arabs squabble, fight & die over it! Then maybe the Arab peoples will run off all their unelected 1 family rulers, dictators, warlords, terrorists and nutter extremist Clerics and organizations.

Answer 6

I don't think that Bush is going to take any initiatives to withdraw from Iraq during the remainder of his term. He is going to leave this mess to whoever becomes the next president. I think our next president will most likely make maneuvers to withdraw troops from Iraq. But even after Iraq, there may still be more countries to deal with. Iran is the country that has presented the real threat all along. It's possible the US may want to bomb their nuclear facilities before they develop nuclear weapons or encourage Israel to take out Iran's nuclear facilities. There's also the issue what to do about North Korea's nuclear capaibilities. Last but not least, we still have the issue of still going after Osama Forgotten.

Answer 7

I honestly believe we will be in our recovery period, before the next conflict, this is not what i want, but it is what i think will happen..i do think we will remain in Afghanistan and an air base in Iraq will remain forever, not in the numbers we have there now..either way something has to give

Answer 8

There always seems to be war. Hopefully there isn't and we can focus on my conflicts in our own country.

Answer 9

The easier question would be "Has there been a time when we were NOT at war?"

Answer 10

No matter where the sands are there will always be an american service man or women defending our liberties. You can sleep easy at night knowing that. No matter who the "enemy" is there will be a fight.
