discussion Do you think World War 3 will happen?

[Feanor]

 

How serious or inevitable do you think the threat of World War 3 really is?

 

I feel like with how the major powers in the world have avoided direct and official "country vs. country" wars in recent decades, it's kind of hard to imagine countries making war on each other again like in WW2, it seems like there'd be too much to lose for all parties, involved and non-involved.

But then again, it's not for nothing that they say "history repeats itself"...

 

[Solaria]

No. The media is fearmongering people into believing it but there is no way it will actually come to a full World War. Russia is militarily exhausted and can't risk a full on conflict with NATO who is stronger than ever right now. Hezbollah and Hamas have been decimated, and China will likely just keep trying to exert pressure over Taiwan.

 

Putin is a bully, he's not dumb. His goal is to exhaust the West financially and morally into giving up support for Ukraine. But he didn't expect resistance to be so strong. Russia is playing a losing game.

[alexrex]

It will eventually happen...

When? Who knows? Sooner or later

 

When the ressources start being scarce, people will get confrontational. 

[Riot]

There are multiple countries at war right now, depending on different points of view it's already started

[Dancehall Queen]

@ Mr.S ? 

[808dream]

It's actually already happening 

[Princess Aurora]

I think we're already in it

And Russia will never give up. I believe they prefer to start a nuclear war than showing signs of ''losing''.

 

Yes, I think WW3 is going to start soon.

[Cesar]

we're already going thru it tbh. it won't be in full force until trump gives israel all the weapons and bombs they need

[ontherocks]

Russia made it very clear that they are in a war against western values to create a new world order, literally words from Putin himself.

 

They will never give up. 

[MattieB]

Yep. Never underestimate fragile white men 

 

Also unlike the previous two. This one would be a cyber war

[ScorpiosGroove]

it's been lowkey happening for years already 

[rhaenyra]

The singularity is gonna take us all out before a 3rd world War imo given how incredibly fast AI is growing

[JoeAg]

it'll happen in our lifetime, but it certainly won't look anything like the first two, for several reasons…

 

I mean consider the internet and modern technology. I think we can still have monocultural events, but I don't know if there'll be an agreed upon clear start of World War III. it could be argued that it's already happening, it could be argued that the upcoming presidency would have more obvious implications of it "beginning," it could be argued that implementation of something in project 2025 would really kick it off due to civil unrest, etc. 

 

point is: I don't see one event being agreed upon as a beginning of WWIII, but I do think it's gonna happen in an agreed upon way 

[Virgos Groove]

WW3, as in traditional war? No. Russia is militarily exhausted.

 

Nuclear war? We're the closest we've been since the Reagan-Chernenko years. We desperately need some sort of détente or at least a return to arms treaties.

 

Sorry, Atlanticist neocons and Russian neoimperialists, but I don't want to die in a mushroom cloud. Get on a ******* negotiating table and work something out.

The WW3 has already started in January when Megan Thee Stallion dropped the HISS bomb on Gag City which left the entire Barbz Nation in shambles and caused Queen Onika's psychotic episode in which she declared the war on Hotties.

[Revolution]

It will never happen. Trying to win an armed conflict is too costly. It's not 1945 anymore. Which is why war occurs through proxies.

[Pheromosa]

It won't happen in our lifetime but if you were born in the the late 2010's and 2020s, I wish them an ounce of luck

[BGKC]

I don't know exactly how long these proxy wars are going to keep teasing WW3, but I can see a full blow world war happening if someone were to heavily bomb/attack a super power/strong western nation. Especially if that nation is the US. The west is practically desensitized to full blown attacks in the Middle East and North Africa. If what goes on there happens on their soil, be it London or New York, westerners would practically beg to nuke whichever country is supposedly responsible, sparking an actual World War.

This is very true. 

 

9/11 is nothing compared to what a nuclear attack on the US would cause. We still remember 9/11—it was one of the last monocultural events that changed the world and its security forever. It also showed that no matter how strong China becomes economically, no other country is as culturally strong as the US. A nuclear attack on the US would create another monocultural event, but one that would inevitably lead to a third world war

But I must add that the panorama would be the same if any other nuclear state were attacked. This scenario is actually more probable between India and China, two nuclear powers with deep disputes over Kashmir and other resources

[Trent W]

It's been 80 years since the last one

 

In the way 1 and 2 happened it won't 

 

I think we're experiencing conflicts through proxy wars now, no one wants direct conflict 

 

I'm more worried about AI singularity and climate change

[Symmetra]

Russia is practically a shell of its former self, North Korea is incompetent. The Middle East is a power struggle **** show. And china know better then to fight 1v1 against nato. So…

[Kamil24]

I just don't see it, at least not in the same way as the previous ones. If anything I see the staging of an event that will unite all countries as one. 

[Reflektor]

We are absolutely ALREADY in World War III. It's being fought in the Middle East and has been for years. Every major Western and Eastern country are fighting wars in Syria, Yemen, Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc -- with either material support, direct drone strikes, and even boots on the ground (perhaps not in overt numbers but we are still there).

 

The average Western citizen doesn't see it as such because it apparently doesn't really count if it isn't being fought where white people live.
