And then they realize they have no navy to speak of, and their air power and vehicles are worthless next to the glory that is the M1, F-35, B-2, and the Paladin mobile artillery. Not to mention 11 super-carriers that America currently has, each one in a task force with enough fire power to level small cities. Then you have the 80/100 or so nuclear subs the U.S. has, with at least 20 of them loaded with enough nukes to take out small countries (not kidding, 20 or so missiles with 8 warheads each for all 23 subs). China has manpower and... well, that's about all right now. They have production capacity, but they lack the resources to go full war like America did for WWII. Hell, no one has the resources to go back to that level of production.harmonic said:
I don't know if there will be a world war, there may be a huge war but I don't think it will be like the other world wars, I doubt a country will set out to conquer the world, however I am sure some country will push their boundaries and get shot down. If any country in the UN does something incredibly stupid in complete defiance of every nation in the UN, then something may happen involving multiple countries but I think we are going to have a war between maybe two countries with other countries sending support, such as China vs. USA with USA getting UN support and China getting NK support, I doubt China will rise and try to seize all of Asia for lebensraum.
Well, the thing is, is that the factors that caused the first two world wars are not present today. We don't have massive webs of treaties and diplomatic agreements tying countries to other ones, thereby in the instance one nation would have war declared upon it, another would declare war on the nation that declared war in the first place, essentially causing a massive snowball effect.
Infinity ward will create a game so awesome and so incredible called "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" that the people that hate Bobby Kotick will try and erase it from the face of the earth, just so they can say "there was no good game that came out while Kotick was in EA"
but some people who actually are in for the love of video games and not just some trend of "hating the company that makes money" or "the man that runs the company that makes money" will raise and defend their right of playing such games without anyone messing around with their preference
and so... yeah, will be inside the US, practically "Texas" vs "everyone else", London will join later to try and calm things down and then some country, like probably China or Korea will yell "ITS TAKERS KEEPERS" and everyone else will try and take their piece of the United States
México will then start operation "La Raza" and take control of Texas and California
Canada will raise a big wall not wanting to have anything to do with the whole ordeal (probably the most intelligent thing to do)
and then the war will start because some dumb ass from the pentagon thought it was a good idea to launch a nuke (which will be a dud and do no damage at all) at the country that yelled "takers keepers".

Mutually assured destruction does not really calm relations though, and something may light the powder keg anyways. Brinksmanship was supposed to help end the Cold War, but it took Russia's military-caused bankruptcy to really end it. When it comes down to it, I don't think relying on mutually-assured destruction is really a safe fall-back.OmniscientOstrich said:
honestly I think North Korea will get cocky and do somthing serious and somebody will react and will simply cream them it wont be ww3 but itll happen there to seperated from the rest of the world and there leader seems to be the type who will let his power get to his head and eventually attempt to expand
also I think eventually china will call in its debt that US owes them and I just have this feeling the US will bomb them for it... I know its horrible but I just don't trust the US's goverment the people are generally cool enough but man ohh man every decade its a new freaking war

As a Russian living in Canada, I have no idea whose side I'd take xDbootz said:
And my guess is that if it starts, it will start everywhere at once.
It's a known fact that since the end of WW2 the US has done their best to alienate the entire world. They don't care about other people's cultures, ideals, or values, they just walk into any country, throw down their flags and impose their values. The world won't stand their cocky strutting for much longer.
Incidentally, I hope I don't receive a warning for this post. "Sounding like a terrorist." What, because I don't like the US I'm automatically a terrorist? Guess that make most people on Earth terrorists then. Having a different opinion makes you an evil terrorist... very American way of thinking.

At this point, world war 3 is pretty much out of the question. All the big and emerging powers (Russia, the EU, US, China, India) all have much more to gain through mutual support than through pointless fighting. Unless something truly improbable and egregious occurred, I'd say WWIII is out of the question. At least involving the large powers.
Now, in the 3rd world and Middle East a massive conflict seems more likely, especially with all the religious fundamentalism, warlords, rich natural resources, and in the Mideast the fact that Israel is no closer to trying to make friends than they were 40 years ago. Though not a truly 'world' war, I can see Africa and the Mideast being ripe ground for large-scale confict.

Hmmmm...Well both of the previous started in Europe and also encompassed Asia.
I don't believe it will go down in the Middle East mainly because that region has been going through war/combat/chaos for centuries, but if it were to start in the Middle East my best bet would be because of a shortage of oil worldwide.
If it were to start in Asia I would probably say it's because of North Korea or China. North Korea would probably attack South Korea and it would also have to attack elsewhere, like possibly Japan. And I can definitely see China trying to pull a WWII attack similar to Japan. China's economic growth is scary powerful, coupled with the sheer manpower it has is just pointing towards expansion. But I don't think China has the unity or political prowess to pull off something of this nature and territorial expansion doesn't seem to be as popular as say 100-150 years ago.
Africa is too big of a shit hole to really start anything on a global scale. North Africa is a hotbed for revolt and I don't trust any of the North African countries. If anything I think they are crazier than the nut cases running the show in the Middle East.
As for Europe, I dont't really see it starting here. I can perhaps see it being a stage of the war, but Eastern Europe was ravaged by former Soviet Russia and isn't really in any condition to be causing a stir. Western Europe could most definitely get caught up in a flare up elsewhere in the world though.
And finally, I don't anything south of the US to cause any trouble worthy of a world war. Venezuela is the true power house along with Columbia, but internal conflict and poverty will trump any potential global threats. Now this leaves us with the U.S. of A. We will most definitely get involved in a WW3. Whether we instigate it or not I can assure you the World Police will stick its nose in it. FUCK YEAH!

Yup, the Marshall Plan was totally an attempt to piss Europe off, and defending South Korea with the U.N. took care of Asia. Let's not forget Kennedy's line of tanks in Berlin when the Soviet's moved their armored divisions up, or all the disaster relief we so horribly gave out, the Pakistani's we saved during the recent massive flooding, and our support of Afghanistan against the Soviet invasion. Yup, totally trying to alienate every one.Pierce Graham said:
