Where do you think WW3 will start?

The title says it.

Do you think world war 3 will start in Israel? Germany? North Korea? Australia?

It won't happen. The political and cultural landscape of the planet has permanently changed in such a way as to make a third world war impossible. The closest thing we'll ever get is the current "war on terror" which really isn't a world war any more than the "war on drugs" is a world war.

That's a rather naive assessment off the world in my opinion.

While i agree it won't happen now, that doesn't mean its impossible and any student of history knows that is fact it is inevitable.

My professor explained it this way. The world is one big powder keg, all it needs the right fuse and a spark. That fuse will most likely be a fight over the Earths ever lessening resources most likely oil.

Also anyone who knows a bit about history knows that you cannot have 2 world superpowers. The world isnt big enough for 2 and one will fall. China is quickly becoming a superpower

Edit: And to the Original question i'd say the Korean Penisula or the Indian/Pakistan
border

I would argue that China is a regional superpower with dreams of becoming a world wide one, such as the U.S. is right now, but I don't see it happening without a major shift in how they govern. They are increasingly having troubles trying to keep the rural farmers and villages happy, they receive foreign aide, and they don't have a blue water navy, though they are working quite hard on the last bit. Couple it with a declining population (severe shortage of women) and India's rise, and I would say India is the most likely nation to attain Superpower status.

Um...I'm pretty sure Germany started the second World War when they INVADED Poland.

They wouldn't have invaded Poland if it wasn't for the ridiculousness of the Treaty of Versailles.
The treaty destroyed the German economy allowing Hitler to rise to power and use the German people's hatred and distrust to setup his Third Reich.

Like others have said, I reckon it's already started. The middle east is already at war and things between China and USA and just gonna get worse as China gets more powerful. I'm not sure about the rest of the world but here in Australia we are getting almost overrun by imagrants and they're trying to change our culture so that's not gonna end well. Somethings gonna give eventually and it won't be pretty when it does. I say the all out world war will start somewhere in the middle east.

My guess will be North korea invades south korea, we move to assist,, china moves for north korea then bam, whole thing goes to hell

Tough I always wanted to go to Asia I wonder what good the deployment of Escapists will do. Tough you're right in that it would probably go to hell.

Anyway if there's going to be a third WW I'm guessing it will only be after the major economical and military power has shifted to asia and most notably China. But I wouldn't expect a world war anytime soon. Maybe in 40 years or so.

Oh! You were referring back to one of the initial causes of the war. Okay, that makes sense then. I thought you were honestly going to make the point that England and France retaliating to Germany started WWII. But nope, I see that you actually know your history. Good for you.

That was a root cause, but the war itself didn't start until they invaded Poland. Trying to put all the blame on Britain and France really isn't fair since the German people knew full well what was going on at this point.

I think it's going to happen on Earth.

Australian culture?
Oh your religious values based upon reverence for the land and your a belief in a "Dreamtime". Most of those imigrants probably don't even know how to play the didgeridoo.

Good luck in stopping those Imigrants that are "trying to change your culture"

 

[Les Awesome]

Azerbaijan, those jerks are the masterminds of all the world wars

 

[BanicRhys]

I don't like that the OP assumes that WW3 is an eventuality.

 

[NinjaOnXTC]

A super-power war will probably happen some time soon, it's cause will be the exponential increase in cyber-terrorism and it being linked back to China, this is annoy USA and they will declare war, then Fallout will become reality .

An example is some schools aren't allowed to celebrate Christmas because there is one muslim child at the school. Believe it or not we do have a culture here in Australia and it's being taken away from us.

Wars don't just start one day, there's years of buildup before actual hostilities, and a lot has to go wrong before actual conflict occurs. Fortunately, most countries in the world put a lot of resources into preventing war, so I doubt a WW3 is likely.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I can't really say where it will start and hopefully it never will.

I'm sorry for sounding like a buzz kill, but War is a terrible, terrible thing and defintely something I never want to experience.

 

[PhoenixRiedel]

A global scale, or between the states and someone else. I'll let someone else pick who.

This.

I always thought that a true world war like WWI or WWII wouldn't happen again, but I didn't have enough knowledge to really back up my own opinion, I guess. But you've pretty much said it, right here, so I'm agreeing with you.

The point that I was making was not that you don't have culture, but when new people come the culture adapts. Culture changes all the time. The native Australians had a rich culture before australia's violent colonisation by the British AKA the start of "your" culture. So don't be so harsh on Imigrants that are taking their culture with them, it's what you did too.

Also it's not like they're invading so saying that "it isn't going to end well" is somewhat unproportionate.

First two were Germany's fault.....I feel good putting my money on them for a third round.

What are they teaching you kids these days?

WW1 was not Germany's fault. Read a book or something.

Yes I know WW1 wasn't Germany's fault (it was the fault of colonizers having alliances to stop war, leading to when war was started everyone got pulled into it) Its because Germany was blamed in the Treaty of Versailles and they signed the war guilt clause, meaning in international law Germany is blamed for the war.
