Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

It will start with a question
"What does this button do?"

It will end with a treaty.

There will be a world war 3. That is inevitable. I know the first post on this thread will be, the next war will be the last war because of nuclear weapons. But I think the major powers will only attack when they know this is not a possibility

My best guess, I think plans for world war 3 are ongoing now . I think the EU and USA and nato will be in Co hoots together, negotiating for decades a false flag attack against the Eternal "enemy" Russia

When they have build defence systems that are impregnable, America will have a "warship downed by Russians" and America will send nuclear weapons to Russia and China with love

Do you think ww3 will happen this century?

Russia ended ww2 let's not forget. It won't be Russia. They have no reason to start a war.
There could be a war with what the Americans did today. Bombing that Iranian general.

If people keep talking about it then it will happen.

We should be talking about how to bring peace and respect back to the top levels of govt in the world. They are starting to talk to each other like we do on here.

Pretty sure heads of state talking to each other like people do on boards would lead to mass deaths.

Now not so much

I’m in my 50s and feel the world to be VERY unstable politically (yes the US is a divided nation) financially and societally.

I can honestly say I feel more uneasy now than ever before.

Probably because you are too young to remember the fears of the 50s and 60s of nuclear strikes. IMO a lot of what we feel now is the massive uncertainty that the financial chaos at the end of the last decade caused. We all have an assumption that things will not change and a response to change can be one of alarm or, over time, eventual acceptance.

Albert Einstein was once asked about this matter in the 40s.

“I don’t know what weapons might be used in World War III. But there isn’t any doubt what weapons will be used in World War IV.”

“And what are those?” a dinner guest asked.

“Stone spears” said Einstein.

That's a sobering and unnerving thought.

Probably by mistake. The present clusterfck between the USA and Iran has the potential to get out of hand and drag in Russia. Both Trump and Iran keep saying they don't want war. Yet Trump assassinates their 2nd in command and the Iranians just launched ballistics missiles at US forces in Iran. I have an uneasy feeling the **** is about to hit the fan.

WW lll, it just started....

Iran has launched "tens" of surface-to-surface missiles at an Iraqi airbase housing US troops over the killing of a top general.

Iranian state television described it as a revenge operation over the killing of Revolutionary Guard General Qassem Soleimani last week.

State television said the operation's name was "Martyr Soleimani"

Donald Trump will tweet out the nuclear launch codes by mistake, that were forwarded to him by Eric Trump

It will probably be over water. The most important resource on earth.

Either than or over Facebook likes.

The religious view might be that there won't be a third world war, just a very nasty regional war in the Middle East that is ended by the second coming and the permanent peace of the Kingdom. It looks like that might be developing now. One could see how the current conflict might spread to a war between Israel and its NATO allies, and an alliance of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon and various other forces. This would no doubt be most active in areas of northern Israel that are mentioned in Biblical prophecy of end time conflicts, such as Armageddon which refers to a location not far from Nazareth between the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean in what is now the border area of Israel and the west bank territory of the Palestinian authority.

While this conflict could draw in Russia, we may find that Russia plays a defensive role for Syria and tries to stay out of direct conflict with NATO or Israel other than to push them out of Syrian territory. I don't think Russia would want to risk a global war which would almost certainly leave their country in ruins.

China has no obvious route into this regional conflict but would be rattling sabres in the background.

This has always seemed long delayed to me, the situation has been simmering for decades (1982 was probably the most active year in the regional conflict in southern Lebanon) and with the current list of actors, one might expect the pot to boil over.

The more pressure Iran feels in coming days, the more likely it is that their own religious persuasions (a different set of prophecies from those familiar to Christians and Jews) would cause them to ramp up their activities in Lebanon with Hezbollah. They would feel that an end of days scenario was developing and that they should be advancing on Jerusalem to prepare the way for their own messianic figure.

This could all die down after a while, or it could explode into that very scenario of regional war that many have been expecting to see.

This spat with Iran sure as hell won't be WW3. Iran could be defeated as fast as Iraq in a conventional war.

Well yeah, but a world war is when other countries get dragged in as a result of a conventional war.

It's highly unlikely there will ever be a proper world war ever again where superpowers are going at it.

Because the superpowers know the consequences.....so they will continue having wars by proxy or secretly backing small wars or conflicts.

Not sure Iran is quite as ramshackle as Iraq were


they actually have WMD and a proper army by now .


the terrain lends itself to unconventional warfare better too , more like Afghanistan than Iraq.

O the ignorance of this statement!

M.T. Cranium

Just as a "what if" the invasion, total subjugation and occupation of Iran would be a far messier proposition than the Iraqi case (and exponentially more misguided, but that's a different thing). It would probably take 60-90 days and a lot of bloody fighting to achieve, then you would have many centres of massive civil unrest to patrol and police, together with numerous factions of varying reliability offering to assist in the regime change implied (otherwise why bother?).

I don't think Trump has even the neo-con's limited appetite for such an adventure and he should steer clear of it. So I don't think my estimate would ever be tested out. Iran is a larger country with a more varied terrain, deeper if perhaps largely incompetent military assets, and a more fanatical streak to the part of the population likely to offer active resistance. It all adds up to a rather lengthy campaign that would almost surely lead to a chaotic and unstable outcome.

What is more likely is that Iran will shift its activities to more semi-covert assistance to Hezbollah and other forces, and try to take the fight to the perceived enemies through those proxy groups. So we can watch to see what happens in spring and summer of 2020 in the general area of southern Lebanon and northern Israel. The most that could bring about would be regional war, in itself a very troubling thing.

As to the primary question of this thread, I don't think there will ever be a World War III because those who could start such a thing would have the most to lose. The nuclear deterrent is actually as close to a guarantee of global peace (on that scale) as we could expect, barring an unexpected change in the human condition that I would associate with divine intervention alone.

Beginning : orbital space weapon capable of striking down missile launches, so shifting the balance of power away from mutual assured destruction.

It's August 2022.I think WW3 is not far away. There are alot of fires burning all over the world.

Gog calling Magog, where have you been?

I tend to agree, coupled with a couple of crackpot dictators in the east…weak leaders of the west, Biden, Boris, Elisabeth Borne, Olaf Scholz…

The choke of woke being a prevalent bullying distraction as regards resolving many problems or potential threats…

common sense middle ground ideals and dead set focuses on keeping and ensuring safety are failing.

problem is, the war won’t be fought with troops and guns, for the most part.

This Taiwan incident is bad news, feels like it will just further divide NATO from the rest of the world and strengthen an axis in the East

So in other words, you're a climate change denier.
