How Likely Is World War 3 By 2020?
 

It looks like relations between the US and Russia are at a low and the demonization of Putin is being pushed by Washington to the limits of propaganda. It also now looks as though the mainstream press think world war or the precursor is inevitable.

From above article in todays FT: "Superpower War In Syria Is Hardly Far Fetched."

World War 3 is called the "global" war on terrorism. Perhaps you mean World War 4?

There will be war.

You'd think the so-called "world leaders" on either side would be intelligent enough to know that starting a fucking war like that would mean the utter destruction of both sides, not to mention most of the fucking planet.

Yes, the only thing 'inevitable' is human stupidity. It's the one thing we can all count on.

It doesn't matter to the federal government if we die because they all have deep underground bunkers that can withstand a nuclear war. If you give a bully an Escape Route he will become a tyrant

I don't think WW3 will ever happen.

The damage and destruction from WW2 was staggering; Most people never give it much thought but it was most interesting period of time. The war itself was one thing, but the aftermath afterwards had such a huge impact on society around the world. Nearly all of my relatives immigrated from Europe to the US because of WW2.

With NATO and the Warsaw Pact, WW3 is not really possible. I mean, it's possible but we know that any attack on either side would result in all out war. And no one wants that. Russia certainly doesn't want this; No other country suffered more during WW2 than Russia did.

ROCHARD [Government Pet] thinks WW3 will never happen?

When it comes from someone who's usually not right about anything, I guess it comes as no surprise that this doesn't give me a strong feeling of confidence?

Not at all, China is the only country that can fight us and they won't because we pay their bills. Anyone else fucks with us and we will just step on them.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Well, we haven't had a world war in the past sixty years or so.... I am pretty confident we'll be okay.

If you look back over time, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan (for both the US and Russia), Iraq, Georgia, Crimea.... So much has happened that could have or should have led us to a world war but hasn't.

The sooner the better I say.

0.0% chance.

Russia and China are the only two countries that have militaries big enough to put up a real fight. China won't do it because they sell us all their shit.Attacking us would destroy them economically. Russia won't do it because the second that fight started NATO would be involved so they wouldn't be just taking on the US it would be most, if not all, of Europe. They are smart enough to know their only hope of winning is nukes and nukes mean everyone loses.

We could have some skirmishes in various places (think another Vietnam type conflict), but I can't imagine there being another world war in the next 4 years.

Unlikely Putin would really want that. He's widely believed to have over 100 billion in assets. Life is too sweet to encourage nukes raining down on his head.

Life in a bunker somewhere wouldn't give him much use for his billions.

Russia Warns US Not to Intervene in Syria, Threatens to Shoot Down Any Airstrike Attempts
https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-wa...jtc_news_index

US-Russia Relations Go from Reset to Retrograde

The U.S. and Russia have been warning each other not to do things my entire life. There have been some tense moments between the countries, but warnings and tension are not World Wars.

And?

The United States has been intervening in Syria for some time now..... And still no World War. Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Untrackable nuclear powered submarines carrying missiles with nuclear warheads are the best anti-nuclear war deterrent ever, on both sides.

Everything has changed since Obama "accidentally" bombed the "wrong people" for over an hour and killed the cease fire. It's been escalating rapidly every day.. Russia doing nuclear drills, US claiming diplomats being drugged. Both sides going at it daily. It's only going to take 1 "shot heard around the World" to set it off. Each one itching for the other to pull the trigger.

I was in grade school and high school in the 1980's. I remember going through drills where we had to practice getting under our desks in case of a nuclear war. I remember when the movie The Day After was going to be aired. I was in grade school and my school held a big parent-teacher meeting to warn parents about how graphic this movie was and that they should watch it with their kids if they let their kids watch it at all.

Tension and talks breaking down between these two countries have been going on for decades. Russia likes to talk shit and push our buttons every once and a while just to remind us they are still a world power. There will be talks, and tension and maybe even some shots fired, but no World War.

Canada could kick your asses, in the winter only pls;)

no kidding... Turkey downed one of their airplanes not too long ago and they didn't do shit... so why would anyone think they will do anything if US intensifies their involvement in Syria a bit? it's all just tough talk and 100% bluff... :2 cents:

:2 cents:

Turkey already shot down a Russian jet and all we saw was Putin huff and puff and didn't blow anyone's house down...

Funny that nobody in this thread is considering the possible election of Trump. This guy is so hysterical and unpredictable that he would press the red button just to show his ego to the world :disgust

Look chang, you really think Hillary will be any better?

In fact its the opposite, I bet you anything Trump will move away from war and Hillary will move closer to war because she is a part of the establishment, with neo-con cronys. Trump's game is to win this apprentice style, he really isn't any where near as bad as he portrays himself for the purpose of the "contest".

Luckily, he can't just do that on his own. There has to be a few people involved so hopefully they would refuse and cooler heads would prevail.

As if Hillary doesn't think she's the smartest person in the World. And talk about hysterical..

of course there will be WW3 because war is too big to fail for the USA...the US """""""""""defense""""""""""" budget will keep on rising and more and more of the US gov cronies will directly depend on """""""""""defense"""""""""""" of the USA...

other countries will be forced to follow suit, china and russia are already next-gen arming the fuck up, and all those weapons will need buyers....

more and more countries will be forced to buy these weapons because they do not want to be the next avghanistan, vietnam, korea, iraq, yugoslavia, libya , syria etc...they will be forced to take sides and buy more and more...

then the US crony government will have more and more difficulty in starting shit in weaker countries, but WAR INC will be so big in the USA that peace would mean a collapse of the crony economy...keep in mind that $$$$$ is the only deciding factor in US elections...nothing else counts and americans will never ever vote for a 3rd party even if the establishment put up 2 complete retards as candidates...as 2016 shows...

the US """"""""""defense"""""""""" budget is the #1 threat to world peace, it has practically privatized war and made it a very lucrative business...peace is not an option...

Very likely am afraid :(

Dude, your posts are become less coherent every week, even your anti-american posts are suffering.

Pull your shit together, you're hurting the side!!

if they keep up this B.S. of scaring people about war, porn sales will be a thing of the past. The press should stop this nonsense of predicting war (which they've done for the last 20 years anyway) and try to do something to boost the economy instead.

war is too big to fail for the USA...you understand this perfectly....war is more or less privatized and private companies and shareholders make serious money producing weapons, you understand this also...no war = no crony money...crystal clear...600 billion$/year is a large chunk of pie for a few cronies...

wheres the incoherent part?

Russia moving nuclear-capable missiles into Kaliningrad, says Estonia

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...d-says-estonia

Russia is preparing for war. Putin knows Obama is going to ignore his claim that he will shoot down US aircraft. He is pretty much telling the World he has ordered his own no fly zone in Syria.

Nerobama

More a widespread deadly virus before that I believe :2 cents:

lol dude, there is no warsaw pact anymore..since 25 years or so:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

no gov will want ww3 happen

Very unlikely because of the Nuclear Weapons. Regional Wars yes.

There's a big difference between wanting it to happen and expecting it to happen. The demonisation of Putin and the recurring negative rhetoric against him is basically the kind of thing which precedes an attack or leads to an attack. It happened with countless leaders before saddam, gaddafi etc etc. So its a reasonable presumption for the Russians to be defensive.
