[Discussion] Is there a possibilty of a Third World War?

[3MESSIAH]

if some of you war mongering idiots knew what war really was like i bet you would start crying like tiny *****es and hoping you got your normal life back lol

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Are some people saying war is fun? Lol, some people don't know the difference between reality and fiction.

Not at all; the chances of WW3 are about as high as Queen Elizabeth II doing a 10K whilst wearing a Hitler costume.

There's a reason there has been no World War since the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings; witnessing the destructive capability of nuclear warheads excited the major powers in the world, leading them to develop their own. And this is the reason there was no direct conflict in the Cold War, despite there being over 30 years for an opportunity; because all the powers were too scared of the possibility of their use, and by extension too scared of the potential annihilation.

The likes of Kim Jong-Un may talk big, but that's all it is. Talk.

All it takes is a few idiots to start it though.

Is it possible for anything to be impossible?

It's possible.

 

[Uzumaki Macho]

It's possible.

So it's possible that not everything is possible.

 

[Izou Xaxa]

We are somewhat alike.

I've had cops called for venting my rage, but that's irrelevant. My rage for the world is warranted as well, I've always had a horrible life. But letting your rage out is usually unproductive for your self, unless done in the right way.

And I'm not saying it will change soon. You never know when it will.

I always held on to the hope that I'll find a reason to stay in this world. I hated everyone and everything until I met someone. Becoming close to that person allowed me to see the value that life potentially has for me, the fulfillment I can get from going on. So one person gives me the will and inspiration to go on, for their sake, and I return, it awakened me to the possibility of joy life gives.

I see

So you found something special i see?

Well i already caused a lot of problems because of my rage but well lets see how the life continues

if some of you war mongering idiots knew what war really was like i bet you would start crying like tiny *****es and hoping you got your normal life back lol

I already know it my country had one i was for a short time there

Well even if i may not know how war feels since i somehow gave up on my life i just hope for a way to die but i do not want to kill myself because it is corwardlike for me

Well my life already is a mess even though no war now but it is just a damm life

Completely possible

 

[Uzumaki Macho]

Completely possible

That doesn't make sense.

That doesn't make sense.

I think it's possible that it makes sense.

I always wanted to be a hero so this would be the perfect opportunity.

Rationing, curfews and bomb shelters are fun? Those people need to get a grip.

Even the idiots get that sinking feeling when they know they're overstepping the mark. Madness is more of a worry, and both Stalin and Khrushchev were both as mad as a hatter, but both sought nuclear warheads, but both were scared sh*tless at the thought of the U.S. deploying there's.

It's the favourable contradiction that's been present ever since August 1945.

All it takes is one assassination or one small attack to start a domino affect. Nukes will definitely not be fun. Just stick to Fallout, guys.

This isn't 1914.

Back at the assassination in Sarajevo, aerial warfare and nuclear warfare were but a gleam in the eye of an Lee-Enfield rifle. Any attacks and conflicts since the dawn of nuclear warfare has been tightly contained to curb growing exterior interference.

In other words, hindsight is always 20/20.

You're incredibely vague. You can't really say things like that when there were things like the Cold War. As soon as things like atomic bombs were created it nearly all kicked off. All it takes is the launching of a nuke or the hacking of a drone. You can't be so certain when there's an entire World full of countries with their own agendas inadvertently fighting wars by funding different armies. Etc. It would have to escalate alot more than 1914 though before people start to resort to more drastic measures. Certain milestones would have to be met and there are a lot of different factors such as history and diplomacy to take into consideration.

 

[Dark Sonic]

Due to meddling Middle Eastern countries, it's a possibility.

 

[Aim64C]

It's a guarantee.

The question is just in regards to who the players will be, and in precisely what form it will take.

Our world is far more fragile than many people give it credit for. Yet, people are far more robust and resilient than people like myself tend to expect them to be. Ideals, conventions, and habit can be very powerful driving factors to keep systems that should have collapsed afloat, or to push countries that should crumble to a status of regional superiority.

As for the going debate...

Wars are not a thing many people would -prefer- to have. However, when there's a time to fight, there's a time to fight, and there are those of us out there who get a level of fulfillment from a job well done. Few would 'prefer' to be 'at work,' either - but people learn to have fun with their work.

It is just that when the time comes for war, people get to work killing each other.

There's no need to get overly sentimental about it - it's the cycle of life and the cycle of nations. Wars, conflict - those are a part of energetic - living - systems.

Well my life already is a mess even though no war now but it is just a damm life

actually i do understand how you feel...quite a lot actually

but our own suffering should never be the cause and reason for suffering of many other possibly happy people....wishing for sth like war just aint cool....just find a way to vent all that pain and leave others out of it

I'm incredibly straight to the point.

"As soon as thing like atomic bombs were created it nearly all kicked off"; every major power in the world was part of the nuclear arms race as soon as WW2 finished. 40 years of muscle flexing and close calls resulted in nothing; not one direct conflict. Hence why it's called the Cold War.

There were two close calls during the Cold War; the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Yom Kippur War. Both times each side prepared for war and ended up backing down when the heat was on. The second most notable in my mind, since Brezhnev was a hard lines, cold and bold type of person - unafraid of conflict. But once Nixon made it known that he was prepping for Nuclear war, he cowered. And he was as gutsy as a leader could be.

Personal agendas don't supersede survival in the minds and in the end, if you don't have the guts, you're not going to push that button.

You realise there was almost physical conlict and there were legit physical blockades. Etc. The only reason it didn't boil over was because of the leaders. If it were anyone else in charge...well yeah...

 

[elitenoob94]

Yes, and I'll be the first drop on the ground to fight... freaked out of my mind and also excited as hell, but I don't know the whole Russia ordeal...

What I'm hearing is they're just trying to get control of Syria and they want the US out, but if we do go to war with Russia it's an all out WWIII because of the allies of each side... Pretty much everyone and their family will be arming up.

Yeah it will be a disaster but it will be exciting and nice for me!!
