It's possible, but this kind of talk always happens when there's an incident.
At the point a world war would be unimaginably devastating. Russia, and/or China would have to step in, to get things to that point, and for things to get to that level, they would need a better excuse that what they have.
They will yell at each other, and call each other down, and it won't be mere "virtue signalling".
I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying that USA, Russia, and China aren't foolish enough to bring on the apocalypse over an Iranian General.
I imagine that it would take an invasion of Iran to provoke Russia, or China into attacking.
I have to add, I'm not really sure if it would involve China. I don't know why I have that idea in my head. As for Russia, I think that they're allies with Iran, or maybe they're just buddies, or maybe about ready to put it's foot down.

Yes, I believe there will be another. When? I don't know.
I hope not because that means my brother gets deployed overseas.

“It doesn’t require any particular bravery to stand on the floor of the Senate and urge our boys in Vietnam to fight harder and if this war mushrooms into a major conflict and a hundred thousand young Americans are killed, it won't be U. S. Senators who die. It will be American soldiers who are too young to qualify for the Senate.”

It's in no one's interests nowadays, the economy is too connected. There will be proxy wars and sanctions instead.
It would require another great depression to happen first, a possible future "Greater" Depression and then it's one sparking event away from full scale war. In WW1 the sparking event was an assassination, in WW2 it was an invasion, so it would be similar to those events and incidents. But it would be in that order, the first thing that happens would be at a point of no return.
History repeats itself and it is inevitable. By the time it finally becomes a reality, no one would be absolutely ready for it nor would they see it coming.Won't ever happen. Why? Nuclear power. You can have the bigger army so big it can infiltrate the country in days. But once you lose a war there is nothing to stop the losing side from launching a nuke one is enough to destroy russia or the us or even australia. You can't stop a nuke that's why chernobyl is still around. Even if you shot down a nuke the radiation will land and spread from animals migrating the wind blowing it towards cities (chernobyl reached as far as Germany the other end of the planet) if it lands in the sea serious trouble. If you win the war you'll both lose the nuclear war. Every country knows this and it's why a world war will never happen the desire to live outweighs money.
World war 3 will come when Iraq developes a nuclear weapon and uses it. That will be within 3 years. USA will respond with a deluge of weapons that will wipe out millions of muslims. Nuclear fallout will circle the earth and get in drinking water. When that happens it's lights out. Israel will attack Palestine and even more madness will follow.
There's no escape. Bomb shelters is not really a life. There will be NO gas No food No escape. Earth will be contaminated for a million years and nothing will survive but the Cockroaches.
Whats sad is the reason for all this madness is RELIGION. The very thing that should bring peace does the opposite. Allah or Jesus or Buddah or whomever is the center of religion in a country will destroy it.
May god have mercy on us all.According to the Bible the kings of the east will move against Israel and the Battle of Armageddon will commence, but not until certain prophesies are fulfilled. One is that Israel will rebuild the Temple on the spot that is now occupied by a holy Mosque..
Yes, but not because of Iran. Other countries will stay clear of that. I expect the next world war to be about starvation and controlling rapidly shrinking supplies of food and water due to climate change. Poor countries will go ti war when the rich ones strip them of their food. Hunger transcends politics.
I think if there is a WW3 it will be a global civil war in which all the previously sensible people try to drag the rich from their homes and kill them, but all the insecure people rush to defend the rich.
but I don't think that's going to happen.I don't think so, the world is not set to one
At are age no one want to go to a real war, a real world war 3 will be a nuke war, and that is not WW3 that is the last war
At this time no one want to do it, there too many calls from WW2, and too much connection between everyone
At this time going to a full out war will not be profitable, so its very unlikely at this timewar is inevitable, and corruption is seeming to be a constant... wars are created by the wealthy elite who crave power and by the religious zealots who demand the subjects to be submissive to their word... and it is fought be ordinary people who feel it is their duty to protect and stand for a reason and a cause... but sent to fight for the mistakes of those at the top
No, not at all, and forget all the BS hype!! It isn't going to happen!! How do you figure, a little, tiny dictatorship, like Iran might spark that? Impotent, and weak, relying on murdering innocents, to press their agenda?
Not like in History, when WWI started! Things are not that way anymore!!World War? No. It isn't that grand a scale. Unless there's at least 40% of the planet involved, I don't see how it could be considered a world War. I also don't believe most places like the middle East have the firepower or tactical strength to reasonably wage war without losing their entire home. It would be a one sided massacre.
I'm assuming your referring to what trump did/said. And no, Iran doesn't really have enough pull with other nations to do that. There might be a war or some kind from it but not a world war.
We likely won't see a world war tell some of the bigger nations start to run out of resources, and fight over them.No I don't think so. Most people don't actually care enough to support war anymore.
Eventually we'll get to a point where older leaders will declare wars and order troops and ask for new recruits and the young people will just respond "yeah right. Go ask somebody else -- nobody wants that."
If the people refuse to fight then there's no war. And with social media people of all countries can be in agreement against world leaders in refusing to fight.I honestly haven't heard this much commotion about war since I was in basic. People just worry themselves to death over even the slightest provocation. But hey at least Captain America will get an updated story out of it. Cap will be Stephanie Rogers this time around and will identify as a Zebra.
Of course, just a matter of when. This century is America's decline and China's rise, no doubt about that, so there will be a power struggle and ultimately a war when China can finally outspend the USA in war, OR when the US population throws the country into political turmoil.
You mean by Iran? I doubt it. I serve in the Israeli Defense Force, and we know Iran's military is outdated and ineffective in any form of military combat against the United States. USA has numbers and upgrades.
Wars inevitably break out. We have been blessed to live in one of the longest eras of peace in human history. The next one could be one over land resources or it could a revolution due to dissatisfaction with the corrupt and broken system. There are so many possibilities.
I doubt it. Lots of people who ask that question conflate a world War with a war between two nations. A world War would need to include several more nations. The reason world War 2 was a world War, Japan. Russia, most of Europe, and great Britain were involved before the US got involved.
Practically the same thing with world War 1..
So I doubt that it would happen.It won't be a conventional war like we've had in the past. Well just be good one day and then have to deal with multiple nuclear explosion on the next day. Well probably be dealing with ever progressing levels of terrorist acts along with guerrilla based conflicts from here on out.
No - baby boomers like having their revenges on other boomers - once that is past, the rest will just chill. Quite possibly for tens of thousands of years (it is time humans learn how NOT to be morons - the time of moron-privileging is behind us - at most morons/low IQs will go have a localised war in their anger over not being equal to smarter people, killing each other while the rest just carry on with their lives).
