Does anyone else think WW3 may happen?

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

Well with what Putin is doing with Russia right now. And Gaza and Irseal (I think). Do you think World War 3 may happen? And if you look closely you colud see a pattern. Russia is in Asia (Japan) and Gaza and Isreal is in the Middle East which is around Europe (Germany). So do you think WW3 may happen?

[repsol rave 2,963]

nope.

 

if it'll happen it'll happen over a few decades.

everybody is freaking out about what is happening with russia, tough thruth is there have been problems and wars with these countries before.

I'm not really freaking out over it. I justed wanted to know if anyone felt this way. And I know you from somewhere. Oh shit you were about of USMCBrony141's Iwo Jima RP weren't you.

[repsol rave 2,963]

yeah i've been with that RP didn't expect people to remember it tough. where you in it aswell?

[neznamkaksa 79]

It will happen its inevitable.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

this is probably the 5th time I have seen a thread like this what is everypony afraid WWIII will happen

 

as for your question Lighting its not going to happen mate most of the major Countries own Nuclear Warheads and I'm pretty sure every leader who has one at the push of a button knows that will screw the entire world one Country launches Nukes another country sees them on the scanners and then they fire nukes and so on

Nope. But I read it that's why I know you. I read it before I was a member.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

If it happens, it will be largely different than before. Nuclear warfare is what ended WWII in a hurry, and if there is a WWIII it will probably wipe out large areas of the world. Nations who are not technologically advanced enough are aware of this and won't try to start anything anytime soon.

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,673]

It could happen. Doesn't necessarily mean that it will happen. See the following video and you'll see how.

No, everyone have too much to loose.

Why would anyone want a war today?

It's possible, but anything is possible really. MAD is the primary and main reason why WW3 won't happen anytime soon. 

[Demirari 454]

World War 3 could be possible, all it takes is one single event that will draw in the major powers of today. Such event could occur at any time and tensions could easily rise with trigger happy people declaring war. The rise of tension and the fall of it every day is what keeps the major powers from grabbing each other's throats, but if the tension was to reach its peak then certainly a World War 3 could easily happen.

 

Besides that, one should realize that there are deterrents that are preventing a cascade of declarations that'll compile into World War 3. The most common is nuclear weaponry, which no one will want to see in the skies anytime soon. Next are economical gains and such--war is an expensive process that could rip apart the economy of a country easily. There are more reasons, but the chance of a World War 3 happening are low and issues will likely be solved with discussions than outright deployment of armies.

[Rainbow_Dash_Hock3y 27]

The Israel and Palestine war is just a 1v1 war that has nothing to do with the crap that is going on in Russia and Ukraine.

[Zygen 6,066]

Only a fool would start WWIII. Nobody has anything to gain from a war that could be so dangerous in this time. 

 

With all the nuclear warheads anyone trying to start war is just asking to be blown from the face of the earth. 

 

But no, I don't think WWIII will happen, atleast not as soon as the media wants to make us believe. 

 

I honestly think the media just likes to scare people, and that's why people are worried about it.

[GGG 176]

like said, its all about proxy wars man, superpowers know this, they known facing each other in battle will end really badly (like nukes), and will screw up their economy (economic bans can destroy countries that depend on other countries, like america and russia), so its far safer and better to let the poor people fight each other and then we go in and take the stuff we want.

 

thats pretty much the reason russia didint just took ukraine, the moment they tried europe came in and said "russia stop, or we will start economic bans" russia knew that would destroy them so they backed up, instead relying on fake rebels so nobody could pinpoint them.

[Celli 4,338]

I really hope not. We've got enough war going on as it is.

[Raritas 6,820]

I don't know... With North Korea threatening war over a movie I guess anything could happen...

[ScaleWrangler 122]

Kind of a given

 

People are dumb, panicky sheep as a general rule

all it takes is for one guy to do something someone else doesnt and boom .. fighting

then ofcourse the friends of both sides decide that they should help because ..you know they're stupid and it just gets worse and worse with more people fighting 

 

 

EDIT: I notice everyone saying that noone will launch nukes cause 'Noone wants nuclear war'

 

1) Theres always one insane Bucker who will push the button ..just cause

all it takes is one madman/woman getting hold of one.

 

2) Who says the next war will be nuclear? theres a whole hoard of other ways to fight 

Chemical, Technological, Viral ... to name a few of the REALLY bad ones

Ok 1 just because there is conflict in 2 parts of the world doesnt mean a world war is going to break out.

 

Also your specific choices in (countries) japan and germany, A. Japan is still under threw technicalities united states occupation and not allowed to have more thana defense force. B.germany is no linger nazi germany as a matter of fact the nazi swatztica is illigal in german if i remeber right.

 

Just remeber there is always going to be a conflict around the world i mean japan and china are at each others throats over some uninhabitable rocks that rest between the two countires. Ww3 while it will always be a maybe will generally fall under not likely due to the world knowing the overall impact it would have on humanity. We may not see eye to eye but we all see that if a nuclear war were to break out there would be no onebleft to "win"

I don't know... With North Korea threatening war over a movie I guess anything could happen...

I have been following this and actually find it kind of funny. North korea is already on really thin ice with china any act of open agression towards anyone north korea goes bye bye and sputh korea gets some new slightly barren farm land.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

LOL op Israel and the Gaza are pretty far from Europe.
