Does anyone else see a massive world war in the near future ?

Question

I have my own idea's as to who what where and when


But I want to hear yours

Especially if you think all will be well

Answer 1

With over population, global warming, resources getting scarce, we will see a war in the next 50 years over rice to eat.

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

Yes, I see the war. It will be about Israel in some form or fashion. Most think it will be centered around oil, and that is a distinct possibility. I read a book about the final war on earth, and it was pretty accurate about things that seem to be going on now. A lot of people thought Russia would end up being a major factor back in the 1980s, but I wonder if it's going to be coming from further East.

I gave you a wealth of sites below so you can see which fits the scenario you have come up with. I, personally, have wondered whether we are in the beginning of WW III. That it would have happened under Bush, Sr. but for some reason, (common sense?), we backtracked.

Answer 4

Yes.

While watching the great documentary PBS did on WWII which aired over the past 2-3 weeks, one of the people they spoke with really caught my attention. They mentioned the fact that the world outside was roiling (back in the middle to late 1930's) there was something in the air. They were seeing and hearing about the large scale atrocities being committed and the rise of tyrants… just like we are seeing right now. There is something in the air and it smells of death.

Some say we are already in WWIV - (the cold war was WWIII)
(it's just bound to get a whole lot worse)

Former CIA Director James Woolsey said Wednesday the United States is engaged in World War IV, and that it could continue for years.

Answer 5

I'm surprised no one has mentioned China. A country of approximately 2 BILLION people. A sleeping giant whose economy is on the rise and whose standing Army might soon outnumber the American population. In addition our economy is slowly becoming more and more dependent on China's. They will become more of a major player in global economics and policy in the upcoming years.

Answer 6

i'm concerned about the one we're in right now. oh, not iraq, it's so much bigger than just iraq. it's international in scope already. and it's heating up. hillary will be no savior, she's shown her true colors. she will bend to the military-industrial complex. so, what does that mean? limited air strikes into iran? shrub is libel to start that before he's gone.

she will certainly inherit pakistan. afghanistan.

all for oil.

Answer 7

Answer 8

No I don't see one.

Answer 9

Geesh, all these people that ask this question almost make it seem like they want it to happen. I'm not gonna worry about it. If it happens, then it happens. I'm not gonna live in fear or spend my time wondering about something that has never happened.

Answer 10

No you must be the only one, Nostrodomus.
