I think there's no use bumping a 2 page, 8 year old thread. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/does-world-war-iii-seem-as-possible-as-it-once-did.81561/

Though there are already lots of World War 3 related topics here in GTP. I would like to sum them up to what those acts, incidents, and wars "might" lead in to. World War 3.

With all this happening around the world at the present. What are the odds of we, heading towards World War 3? Any signs? What will cause it? Where and when will it start? Who are the players? Is it really possible? Will we see it in our lifetime? Are we ready? Is it Nuclear? Who will will use nukes first? Can we do something about it? Share your knowledge, predictions and thoughts about it.

Unless aliens invade, it won't happen. All the major countries of the world are connected through trade and commerce now. Any major country like the U.S, China, or Russia going war with one another to will only hurt everyone.

I'd say the closest we'll ever come to world war will be the inevitable war with North Korea, but nobody knows when that will happen. When it does it will be everyone versus them anyway.
 
A thread for couch militarists? I already love it. :D

There's a guy I know who has a blog on "Typical Military" community on the Russian social network VK, and he posts very interesting military-related articles there. Like the "Russia vs. NATO" series consisting of:

Part 1. "Massive missile strike"
Part 2. "Massive missile strike (continued)"
Part 3. "Total war"
Part 4. "Total war (continued)"
Part 5. "Mobilization"
Part 6. "Mobilization (continued)"
Part 7. "Nuclear weapons"
Part 8. "Nuclear weapons (continued)"
Part 9. "Local conflict"
Part 10. "Local conflict (continued)"
Part 11. "Local conflict (conclusion)"
Part 12. "Sea war"
Part 13. "Sea war. Russian Navy"
Part 14. "A few words about Aegis"
Part 15. "Sea war (conclusion)"

I think they'll be interesting for you to read, so I'll be translating and posting them here, when I have enough free time. :)

What do I think in general? I think, a classic "total war" with one "big player" (Russia or US) invading another is veeery unlikely, almost impossible. But a collision of Russian and NATO forces on the territory of another country (Ukraine, for example) - "local war" scenario - seems more real.

I think if something like that happened, the conflict would remain in that area and wouldn't spread to other parts of the world. A war like that would be very unpopular here in the U.S, and probably in Russia and Europe as well. The unpopularity of the conflict would probably result in a brief engagement with limited troop numbers.
 
Bipolar systems always have talks of WW3 with those 2 countries being the main players. In fact a bipolar system is widely thought of as the most stable system in existence.

Yes! Please share anything you can.
 
A time traveler from 2020 said that in his time line WWII was a fact. It started in 2015 and lasted a few years. The threat in his time line came from the Moslim worlds.

Nothern and middle Europe was wiped out.

I see one has read Huntington's a clash of civilisations. Not that story as it's an academic book so there is no story but he predicts the Muslim world will have the biggest friction with the west.

At least that one makes sense, however I can't help but think they'd be playing into our pockets by attacking that early, as their numbers in Europe aren't (allegedly) as large as I thought.

...yet anyway.
 
Today I learnt that World War 2 started in 2015 as a result of a threat from the Moslim worlds.

Looks like Reagan was right and the US and the Soviets are gonna have to team up after all.
 
I don't see it happening unless something like a nuclear bomb being dropped or some other highly destructive weapon on allies of the U.S. which is the entire Western world mostly. It would have to be an enemy dropping it or using a powerful directed energy weapon (scalar weapon), and having their own allies that don't agree with the West perhaps...

However, many small events between border nations doesn't seem nearly as likely to spread out unless say N. Korea dropped a nuclear device on S. Korea (though not too many would ally with NK). Other some major event like that I suppose, I don't see it happening.
 
If you're talking about the situation in Eastern Europe, nobody is going to go to war over a resource poor, god-forsaken strip of land like Ukraine.

The worst that can happen is that Putin will get fed up and send his military to steamroll the Ukrainians. The West will scream and wave their hands in the air, impose more economic sanctions, and that'll be the end of that. And even the chances of that happening are very small.

I'm pretty sure that in the event of NK being about to nuke SK the Chinese would know. They would prevent it, either by stealth or hard politicking. World war is as little in their interest as it is in the interest of the other superpowers.

I agree overall though, I personally think the risk of nuclear attack from a government is very very low.

Even if they didn't stop it, I doubt China would be all that interested in siding with NK. They'd probably side with the West and would probably help take out and then take over what's remains of it (NK) or give it to SK to gain even more world influence at the end of the day. Hence why I don't see WW3 but a collective cold war between many to gain political influence on the world. Even that though is a little silly.

Though I doubt there will be any nuclear conflagration, I suspect we are already involved in WWIII, that it started with the Clinton administration, and gathered steam under the Bush regime. Robert Kagan and Victoria Nuland are among the many players. You see it manifested today as a world in perpetual war and permanent revolution. The Color Revolutions and Arab Spring are perfect examples. Its goal is to destroy nation states and institute a global democratic rule of the proletariat led and evangelized by the corporate class and bankers, with no room for middle class or bourgeoisie. Third world nations which resist (Libya, Iraq) will be preemptively attacked, divided into tribes, and stripped of their resources. I predict it will eventually succeed, though some will cling stubbornly for a time to localism, nationalism, etc.

Google "John Titor".

He's from 2036, and yes, he does seem legit. I posted something in the MH17 thread of him and the connection between the Ukraine-Russia conflict. He could be fake, but that was hell of a story. It took me a couple hours at nigh and another couple of hours of him telling information about his time machine and how Russia and China were nuking major cities.

On a side note, imagine the Balkans. Jesus Christ... Serbia has already removed enough kebab.

Okay, yes. Okay.
 
What, you mean the guy who had a time machine in the back of a '67 Corvette and said the last Olympics would be in 2004, who'd come back in time to get a computer from 1976 and take it back to 2036 to avoid the 2038 Problem in Unix but also said that many-worlds theory is true so if he killed his own grandfather it'd be another John Titor's grandfather and the paradox wouldn't exist but still reckoned he could get back to his own 2036 future?

Yeah, sounds legit. Reeeeeeal legit.

What he just said. You don't need to read it again for goodness sake...

So, wait... Steins;Gate wasn't based on a true story?

This is why you shouldn't play XBOX games. Stick to the Playstation's kids...

He predicted something bad in 2001. Remember 9/11? He also said his universe is slightly different, so some evetns may not be the same.
 
Bad things happen all the time. It's what happens when you let my signature explain everything I'm going to bed this is stupid I'm tired.

I knew 2020 was wrong but was too lazy to look it up. I was only 16 year off. :D


I took me a couple of days to read everything there is to read about him (last year or 2 years ago) and also listen to the "coast to coast" interviews of him.

I'm not convinced his is legit. Although I want him to be legit, I think don't he was.

So his account of a WW3 in his time line is probably also made up.
