How will WW3 start?

i see a lot of articles in here on specific topics. but with all the spcifics in the way i honestly cant see exactly how at this point ww3 could start. somebody please enlighten me.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say... someone dies. Far out, I know

Probably will start by someone attacking someone else totally unprovoked.

How do you expect it to start, over a breakfast meeting in Manila with an agreement over what date and time to start one ?

There will never be another world war.

The world is simply too globalized now where the economic losses will outweigh any benefits gained.

Add to that the profliferation of nuclear weapons and mutually assured destruction is all but a foregone conclusion and this will make an all out war very unlikely.

We will always have conflicts, some of them large, but the world will never divide up into sides again and go at each other with everything they have.

lol that is how one of the world wars started. but what would begin a new world war? the global financial crisis to come?

Some1 farts on the radio and a army general thinks it's a missile launch and tells his president to launch all nuclear silo's. And then we all die and we live happily ever after, oh sh!t wrong ending

World War II never ended.

Hmmm, the causes for WWI were a little bit deeper than just Franz Ferdinand being assassinated.

It was the straw that broke the camels back however.

All the known reasons for every war is a lie, There is always a hidden agenda. The real players are drinking coffee with each-other while watching their countries go to war so the military complex can make money again or because they don't like how the people in another country are living, see my example. Until those corrupt leaders are removed there will always be war.

Example: Vietnam war.

The real reason for this war was because the Vietnamese were Budhists and they wouldn't change to Catholic,

My opinion is:

The new pope will be Peter the Roman. Possibly cardinal Tarcisio Pietro Evasio Bertone.

An Iranian submarine will find its way to the coast of Italy and launch a nuclear missile at Rome, the city will be destroyed and the pope will have to leave Rome.

If that happens i will light up a spliff and say to myself, holy ish the signs of the times are here let's make the best of it.

I've to read about the predictions of the final pope and it's very interesting times we live in.

Quick somebody better come in to the World Ward Three forum and give the typical anti-fear mongering response.


Bro! There's no such thing as World War Three. There's no such thing as war! Stop all this fear mongering! I looked out my window and I can't see any war! So there is no war! And there's no such thing as war!

Just socialists invading my country and making me pay an extra four dollars in taxes! That's the real end of the world! Oh, that and the day I ran out of hair gel. That was a global disaster.

i just want to know how one can possibly be started due to current global political relations im not saying that world war 3 has begun. though a few civil wars will probably happen in the global financial crisis. i want to know how it could happen and where it would begin. apart from a modern dayy franz ferdinand assassination

While that thought is lovely and I hope that you are right I think you are being overly optimistic.

I would agree in large part with the poster who states that WWII never ended. Given that the roots of WWII were deeply embedded in WWI and the E.U. was created in an attempt to avert future war by creating an economic interdependence that isn't running too smoothly right now and I would say that the global economic ties could actually be the cause of the next global conflict.

Globalization boils down to a massive redistribution of wealth. As the living standards in developing countries rise the living standards in long developed countries fall for the vast majority of their populations. While certain entities at the top of the food chain do quite well in this scenario it increasingly seems that the rank and file is becoming aware someone did in fact move their cheese. And they want it back. So, like most wars greed and pride will play a large role. There are more than enough players who feel that their position is slipping and a whole other set who feel ready for greater world stage acknowledgment and respect. Add to that a whole host of skirmishes and standoffs that only require one itchy finger to go large and I, sadly, suspect that we could actually be quite close to a major war.

And war has been good for business since time began. The tools to wage it and the spoils of it cannot be overlooked in the cost benefit analysis sure to be run by those in charge. Throw in that any debtor nation that was sided opposite a creditor would have a very face saving way to default, and it really only feels like a matter of time.

I would still like you to be righ though. I really would.

It will start as a result of a false flag event, that I can guarantee....

edit on 23-2-2013 by watcher3339 because: (no reason given)

I never stated there wouldn't be war, only that it wouldn't be a world war as we've seen two other times.

Globalization has absolutely nothing to do with re-distribution of wealth, its simply countries reliant on other countries for their survival. Its impossible to operate independently anymore.

And rank and file citizens are not going to form their own army and take on the established powers in a war that wages across the world. That would be science fiction.

However if you could think of a reasonable scenario that you would think would define a world war 3 I would be more than happy to debate you on that.

It should be pretty obvious. If Iran and Israel ever start a full-scale conflict, that will start WWIII, based entirely on their allies.
