How close are we to WW3?

[Voice of Reason]

Between Taiwan and China and Ukraine and Russia I feel like things are heating up.


The world obviously senses Americas role as the world's lone super power slipping.

 

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

As far as we've ever been.

Is China Reviving America’s Cold War-Era "Shell Game" ICBM Deployment Strategy?

 

[Wargames]

The next world war will be about the environment and it’ll be the difference between takers and those getting their shyt taken

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Take your ass back to TLR

I don't care to imagine the terrible weapons that will be used in WW3.
What I do know is that WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones.

Einstein said something to this effect.

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

Far away actually

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

That being said, there are no traditional colonial powers to call upon their subjects in a military conflict.
England could call up tens of thousands of soldiers from India or wherever. That was a big part of the World Wars, nations were dragged into it against their own will by other nations.
I don't see it playing out like that in today's world.
That is not to say that a 3rd WW is not possible, just that it would play out very differently.

WW I was trenches & gas.
WW II industrialized/mechanized warfare.
WW III?

I think the threat of nuclear weapons has all the superpower countries shook to go to war with each other at this point. A new ww3 would be devastating.

I think the only possibility would be if global warming goes as scientists predict a they are fighting over resources

I could be wrong though

 

[ExodusNirvana]

There will not be a third World War...all major players are nuclear now

There will only be skirmishes in smaller nation states for resources

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

WW3 will be major series of cyber attacks and biological warfare.

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

There will not be a third World War...all major players are nuclear now

There will only be skirmishes in smaller nation states for resources

WW3 will be major series of cyber attacks and biological warfare.

 

[The Darkness]

WW3 will be major series of cyber attacks and biological warfare.

We already there with the cyber attacks.

 

[Ezra]

We are not. Both the US and China's economies rely on each other. WW3 would tank both countries. Neither country is going to commit economic suicide by doing so. China might call the USA's bluff on taiwan. They probably could. There is no political will to enter into another foreign conflict.
