Title: World War III
Post by: DiskoStew on 10-12-2010
Do you think it will happen? If so, between what Nations?

It's bound to happen in the future. But not soon.

I bet it will be the Germans or the Koreans. They like starting shit.

No. At the moment, the chance is a small one. And I HIGHLY doubt that it will be started by the Germans. The country which will most likely start it now is North Korea.

The chance isn't exactly "small", altho I believe there are people in HGN who know much more about this than me.
Iran could be a reason to its beginning.

Oh and the situation between NK and SK will continue to be exactly the same as it was before.

Although there ARE radicals out there, the chances are slim any of them will risk nuclear war. Every country that has nuclear ICBMs is well aware that another one does. For instance, if NK fired a nuclear ICBM at the United States, the US would retaliate(seeing as how we have the most nuclear warheads out of any other country).

I doubt china would help North Korea as their money and economy would die over night, Think about how much stuff , U.S.A, Canada, and England buy from them, Over night that would stop if they started aiding the North Korean forces, Their Yen would become worth even less then it is now, Economically it would be suicide.

There will be a World War III and it will most likely begin while we're still alive. My guess aswell, is that it's either North Korea, Pakistan, Russia or America (Yes, you heard correct, America) that's going to start the war.
Title: Re: World War III
Post by: Paintcheck on 16-12-2010
No. World War 3 will never happen, at least not in the sense of huge nation states battling each other like in WW2 or WW1.

China and America are too economically linked. If US froze China's assets, then the US would be economically fucked as China owns 60ish percent of our debt. Likewise, if China decided to collect on our debt tomorrow, it would go bankrupt since the US wouldn't be able to afford to import China's shit. That's called mutually assured destruction and it wouldn't even lead to war, just economic ruination.

What IS likely to happen is one of those small, useless rogue states with big guns to start shit like Korea nuking South Korea or Iran nuking Israel. That could start something major but a world war seems unlikely since most of those rogue states do not have strong allies. Yes China supported NK but in the event of a nuclear exchange between SK and NK China would want nothing to do with anything, lest the US impose a trade embargo/otherwise fuck China up. Some of those wikileaks documents were from China and Chinese officials basically said NK is a useless ally that is an embarrassment for them to be associated with.

Russia wouldn't attack the US, our military is so vastly superior to theirs in the wake of the Cold War that they'd have no chance at all other than possibly trying to nuke us. But they wouldn't gain anything by doing so and would likely only end the world as the US retaliation redefines "Blasted back to the Stone Age".

In the age of Globalism we live in, states are too connected to actually go to war since it would do more harm than good. What would these nations gain from attacking the US/what would the US gain by attacking them? A shit load of dead civilians and possibly a bunch of irradiated wastelands. And nothing more. If one of those rogue states did something regrettably nuclear, the rest of the world would assfuck them so hard that it wouldn't even be called a war. If Israel got nuked, I'd feel sorry for whatever Middle Eastern country did it because they'd cease to exist meaningfully once Israel got done with them. NK vs. SK seems more likely but I think the UN would probably have something to say about a nuclear exchange, and very likely China and Russia would, too. Unless NK dreams of nuclear suicide they wouldn't dare.

Yeah, but North Korea's leaders are probably mentally ill. Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un wouldn't rather care about nuclear suicide.
I agree, the possibility of a large-scale war is rather diminished, seeing as China won't cut their assets with America, nor will Russia want to engage in a conflict with America. Smaller wars, however, are likely between Israel and Iran, NK and SK, etc.
I totally agree, yet North Korea's leaders don't mind going balls deep. They'd be the first to do something stupid, leading to their annihilation.
Title: Re: World War III
Post by: Steven :D on 20-12-2010
I thought Russia and the US signed some sort of pact that established a maximum amount of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) each could have. If Russia wanted to nuke The United States then they would have have a pretty much equal chance of blowing eachother up unless they have some other ICBM's to intercept the nuclear warheads. Like Paintcheck said, China wants nothing to do with North Korea if they go nuclear, and I'm pretty sure that North Korea recently threatened South Korea saying that if there was going to be a war, it would probably go nuclear. If NK decided to give bombs to Iran or any of those middle eastern countries, you can bet that the US will most likely want to go intercept that because they don't want weapons like that in the hands of rouge states. I recently saw a documentary of some people going on a mission in North Korea to help some thousand blind people with Cataracts or such in their eyes, two americans were allowed to come along with a doctor to help them. In almost every room there is picture of their 'General' or 'Faithful Leader' and they bow to it whenever they move to a different room. There were NO chairs at all and everyone looked like they were starving in that home, its like Kim-Jong-Il has is own cult of Koreans that he somehow brainwashed.

TL;DR if you wish, but here's the point: Kim Il Sung Dies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbM8Iu-547k#)
North Korea is fucked up.

However, a world war does not completely constitute an all-out nuclear war. It could be another conventional war.

The only requirements for a war to be called a world-war would be if, well, the entire world was involved, or at least the vast majority.
Title: Re: World War III
Post by: Goose on 30-12-2010
The thing about conventional wars, as stated above, There is no point, China and USA are to economicaly connected, and if some random country attacked say Isreal they would retaliate by blowing them to tiny peices of nothingness The point is there is really no use or point to conventional wars, Afgahnistan is one of the last few conventional wars its hard to even be considered a war as they are "Fighting" an unseen enemy who use ambush tactis and car bombs, I talked to a guy who came back from Afgahnistan and said that he had been ambushed 4 times in one day and he is surprised he is still alive, They hardly saw the enemy to shoot back at most of the time they would jump out fire and run its not like it used to be with full out firefights lasting hours.
Title: Re: World War III
Post by: eroticduck on 02-02-2011
World War 1 happened because of alliances. Germany pressured Austria-Hungary for military actions against a nation allied with Russia. Russia declared war, and so did the nations allied to Russia. Beforehand, there was strides in keeping a balance of power in Europe.

If we are to looking into the future, then we should look into the past. In which countries does the above seem similar to? I feel that a World-wide war cannot break out due to too many positive relations and the spread of Globalization.
Title: Re: World War III
Post by: gnomebutts on 02-02-2011
world war 1 happened because of a lot of different things; colonialism, militarism and competition between Britain and Germany had a lot more to do with it than Austria-Hungary attacking Russia lol

regarding nuclear war, nobody actually wants/plans to use nuclear weapons. the cold war is solid proof of that  :tick:

Korea doesn't mean anything to anybody except for Korea. Every once in a while they do something stupid, but all it does is alienate them from their allies and make everyone else just shake their head. China would not get roped into a war with Korea, it's counter productive. They have a lot of economic momentum and they rely on the West to keep it going. A war with them started because of KOREA will not happen. Pseudo-intellectuals like to sound smart by saying that all the time, but you have to analyze things further than the headlines in the news. I'll say it again - NOBODY intends on actually using nuclear weapons. They're just a scare tactic and always have been. Just take a look at the Cold War. If anyone was going to use nuclear weapons it was during then, but they didn't.

One would be foolish to think that we're on the cusp of a third world war. The political situation globally is pretty stable and countries are a lot friendlier with each other than they were in the past, I'd say.

Well not to mention people where conserned a little while ago during the coldwar/after the cold war, of Pakistan and India going to war with Nukes, since they got split by Imperialism and Religion, that could have been a potential WWIII

But it did not happen, I say N.Korea would get horribly butt fucked by EVERYONE if they did anything too rash such as starting war or actually using their Nukes, As Globalization has lead to N.Koreas other allies such as China to become intertwined with the Capitalist West.

If N.Korea started war they would be shit up a creek without a paddle. . . Cause they'd launch their troops and Nukes, and then other countries would roll on in and steam roll them/Bomb the living FUCK out of them.

Even so I stick to my original idea that. Fallout 1-3 (And new vegas) Will not happen in real life, at least not any time soon.

I think the war will possbily be the North Koreans and the South Koreans. Seeing as the US has military bases in South Korea, I think the US and their allies would assist the South. Talking about China and North Korea, if you'd read or watch the news you would understand that their relations are not the best at the moment. So their ally would be Russian and their superpowers. China would not get involved but be forced to become involved as they are between Russia and North Korea.

I've lived in South Korea my whole life, moved to US a couple months ago. I've experienced the threats from North Korea first hand :)

Chinese/North Koreans will either form an alliance or one will take over the other, probably China taking over North Korea but anywho. After that they will take over eastern Asia, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and possibly all the way to India. At which point it would be a communist empire that ruled about 50% of the global population. Then they'd attempt to rape the USA and we'd shit on them with our nuclear arsenal and superior weapons technology. At which point it would revamp our entire economy like what happened in World War II. We went from the worst depression in the history of our country to the largest and most powerful super power on the planet. All because of a single day, which will forever live in infamy. (Corny line, I know but it was necessary.) Now I know a bunch of you will be like "OH EM GEE! NO WAY! CHINESE WOULD RAPE YOU AMERICANS!" But that simply isn't possible. Sure they may have numbers, but we have the largest TRAINED army on the planet. Furthermore our weapons technology and weapons stockpiles highly outnumber theirs. And assuming we're against China it would revamp the economy as I stated before because like in World War II it would require us to create an entirely militaristic industrial economy. At which point it'd be GG China.

China wants NOTHING to do with NK. Some of the wikileaks documents were from Chinese government meetings in which China expressed SEVERE irritation at NK's posturing with SK. NK might do something stupid with SK but China certainly wouldn't back NK on it. If NK nuked SK, China would stay the fuck back lest every member nation in the UN trade embargos the fuck out of them.

The LAST THING China would want to do in the world is anger the US. We buy too much of their shit. If we stop trading with them, their economy collapses (so does ours but mutually assured destruction it would be). China would rather nuke itself than do that.

They could aggresively take them over, and as can be seen with the Libyan/Egyptian Riots/Uprising the UN isn't as interventionalist as it used to be. They should have stopped Kadafi or however the fuck you spell his name as soon as he hired mercenarys. Which is why I think China would probably find the incentive to invade NK or NK nuke/invade China. Whichever.

NK invading China would be perfect. China would buttfuck them. NK would be STABLE if China took them over.

NK may be small but they have an incredibly large military as well, and they've been stockpiling nuclear weapons for a while now along with a large arsenal of weaponry they purchased from the Russians when the Soviet Union collapsed.

I think WW3 will start around the year 2045, as most countries that export petrol and live off it will run out of reserves, no petrol makes these countries useless and with no economy; In my opinion these countries will start a war with a countries near them, and these countries being attacked will ask for help to their allies. With this, I think WW3 will start with wars between "small" countries and nations like Russia, China and USA will take advantage.

I think a lot of people underestimate Libya, including of what Gadaffi is capable off.
Before they started the attacks on the rebel Gadaffi had 20.000 soldiers, every week new ones arrived.
He might had some casaulties but he still has an army full of retarded idiots who are willing to do anything for a litle cash.

I think that the United States will sink itself into a debt hole and then cutt a deal with russia to pay them less money than they are indebted to to China and then China gets Taken over by Russia and then we cant even pay those debts so we go to war with Russia and so on and so forth.
Title: Re: World War III
Post by: Paintcheck on 19-06-2011
You watch waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much TV/movies if you think Russia would go to war against China because the US entered into a conspiracy with them. China and the US have a very mutually beneficial relationship, yes China owns waaaaaay too much of US debt but the US allows them too because it benefits from the transaction. The US isn't going to war with China over debt reasons because we are China's largest trading partner. Their economy would tank and the US' would also if the two sides went to war.

Well as in every great war I believe that smaller countries that go unnoticed will be the cause of the World War 3. Imagine how World War 1 was just caused by a simple assassination in a relativly unimportant country. When something happens in a little country, big countries take action, then, they start picking sides.


I think you can do the rest of the math from here.

If NATO would support Georgia, I guess there'd be some heavy fighting, but not a full-scale World War.
AND BEFORE you'll talk "lol why Georgia it's a hellhole", it's because the oil transport is through this country, thus it'd damage the West petrol corporations and GazProm would be in a better situation.
Also, Kassendraw, necropost.
