Which country is least likely to start World War 3?
- Thread starter King Toasty
- Start date
I choose Bhutan. They're a country in the middle of the Himalayas, with a population of less than 700,000 people. Their government had a ban on TV and the Internet until a few years ago, and they had almost no contact with the outside world before the mid 20th century. So yeah. Them.
Granted. I know it's a city, but it IS the capital. It's like if Washington were populated with drooling idiots... so how're they gonna... Yeah ok, there's still Texas... Ah, screw it. I conceed.
Actually I'd like to correct you there. I'm Icelandic and we haven't been under American protection since September 2006. Not that it really matters, just putting that out there hehe.MeteorK said:

EDIT: Stop saying Sealand. I'm talking about actual, official countries. Aerican Empire doesn't count either. In fact, ignore the entire Micronation thing for a while. Carry on discussion.
There you go.
Jamaica's a nice Candidate too.

Holland, we're all way to high to do anything. I would go buy sealand now but there's no room for canals or red light districts 
Switzerland hasn't always actually been neutral. They claim to be, yet the didn't want to hold money for the Allies during WWII, and they did for the Axis.DoomWyrd said:
OT: I'd say it would probably be France. The only way they would start a war is if white flags were outlawed. Then they would surrender and declare war on their allies, yet still fail miserably.
I'm going to say that a country will not start a war; war will be the reaction of countries when they discover that the people who'd want World War 3 are anarchists who don't care for dividing lines in the least. I mean, the current war in the Middle East is basically just the Arabian Boy Scouts vs Anyone Who'd Pay Attention To Them.
France, but not for the reasons you might think.
Whenever the Pentagon, the KGB, MI5, or the Chinese Army had a war games scenario up to the end of the Cold War and beyond, France was usually the first target. The reason for this is not because they were arrogant douche bags, but because they have nuclear weapons and they were mercenaries in UN negotiations, willing to sell their vote to the side that gave them the best deal at Security council meetings.
Both sides of the Cold War realized that the neutral party needed to be taken care of as soon as possible to make sure the other side did not get the greater advantage.
Simply put, France will not start the war because there will not be a France soon after it begins.
