Why are people so convinced that there will be a WWIII at all?
Even a 'conventional' war fought by the major superpowers would have a devestating effect on the world and the environment etc.
The days where superpowers engaged in long, protracted all out warfare are over.
The majority of future wars will involve proxy and / or rogue states with minimal direct confrontation between the major protagonists etc.

The Cold War was a very dangerous situation, yet both sides (who hated each other) did not fire nukes. Why is this? Because it would have led to destruction. The same circumstance will be apparent if tensions were to rise dramatically again. If there was going to be WW3, the countries would be smart enough not to launch a nuke. If they do launch nukes though, it may lead to a chain reaction which may be the extinction of the human race.
it is idiotic and will not happen.edit on 3-6-2012 by daaskapital because: eta

The thing is, those in power are EVIL, they don't care about live or die, all they want is to serve their masters which also want death, destruction and everything that is EVIL. If all nations nuke each other, will be chaos, and that's preciselly their goal, mass terror. They do not think as we do, because their attachment to life is as deep as a shallow mud pool. They don't care about us, they don't care about themselves, they only want the EVIL to prevail.

The Obsession with a nuclear www3 is because the MSM is using that as a justification to spend another trillion of US tax payers money to invade IRAN. Not to worry our trillions will be made into 4 trillion overnight for the select few on the stock holder boards of these military industrial complex industries.
