Is the world marching towards World War Three?

Question

With Russia contempt on reclaiming break away states from the former Soviet Union, and our own government set on continuing to wage war in the middle east for decades to come, don't things look pretty bad?

Not to mention China's agenda!

But unfortunately I'm not even sure which side is right! Sure Russia and China are bad! But look at the west! We're not much better! Only every action our governments take are portrayed in a much better light!

The Iraq war was only waged due to the greed and egotism of business men and politicians!

I believe the only reason Russia is acting the way it is, is because they feel threatend by this new world order the west is creating...

You know what they say about an animal being backed into a corner...

Just imagine what a bear would do...

Answer 1

Russia and China are bad?!? How so? As a Russian I think most things we do are justifiable, and the country itself is pretty successful. And so is China, on it's way to becoming a world power (if it isn't already).

But past your offensive comments, i don't think we're heading for a third world war, just towards another great depression in america.

Answer 2

"The Iraq war was only waged due to the greed and egotism of business men and politicians! "

You've got your head in the sand.

Consider that Iraq is a very strategic piece of ground in potential conflicts involving Russia, Georgia, China, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, India, particularly in Kashmir, Afghanistan, and others.

Answer 3

Yes the world is marching towards World War Three, but it isn't now.

This is a prelude, a stepping stone if you will to that terrible history we want to write in the future.

When world war three starts it isn't going to be from the guns of the super powers like Russia, United States, or China. It will start with an insignificant event brought to us on the backs of nobodies from a third rate land.

What's happening in Georgia now is indicative of what we can expect in the future, but it is not the beginning of a third world war. All these rumours of war are just panic stricken people running around crying "the sky is falling, the sky is falling", when in fact the sky and the world have not yet embarked on a fall.

Answer 4

the world has been marching steadily along to world war 3 since world war 2 ended,  LMAO

Answer 5

The US will fall apart before any war is involved! Bush is an Idiot along with his Republicans who are corrupted!

Answer 6

I guess these may be the bases of World WarIII.

Answer 7

i dont think so my freind,

we are wiser than that,

besides superpowers all do business together so they not gonna shoot each other!

Answer 8

hope so...soon to be special forces officer

     *strenth and honor* when you cant run anymore you walk, when you cant walk any more, you crawl, when you cant crawl any more you find someone to carry you

Answer 9

World War III is already started......the first attack was in 1979 when Iran invaded America..... it has been escalating every year....after 11 years of American denial..... President Bush finally took the offensive....

The Global War On Terrorism" is World War III

Answer 10

WWIII is inevitable. countries like the usa will prevail again due to the unmanned aircraft that is cheap and mass producible and our high tech stealth fighters/bombers like the f/a-22 raptor which is the best fighter/attack plane ever produced which one raptor can do the job of multiple f-18s and f-15s. while never being seen or touched. also our ground troops are among the best in the world with an undying patriotic attitude. also our unconventional troops like the navy seals, marine force recon, and army rangers taking out high priority targets quiet and quick, the enemy would be dismantled within days if a full scale war broke out. also our main battle tank the m1a2 abrams is one of the best if not the best battle tanks in the world which has the highest crew survivability of all tanks produced and massive firepower that will crush the enemy tanks/troops. all i know is i'll get some if ww3 breaks out, how about you? will you spend the deadiliest war hiding or making a difference like your grandfathers/great grandfathers did in ww1 and ww2?

Answer 11

Things do look pretty bad.  Georgia has a big oil pipe-line in their country that the Russians are already occupying.  The Russians know that America is overstretched in Iraq and Afganistan.  They can basically do what they want.  I remember 10 years ago when everyone was richer and there was peace (besides the Balkans).  I'd much rather have a President in the White House whose worse thing was getting BJs than one that starts wars!  Russia has nukes too.  

Answer 12

Tony, I think the world is holding it's collective breath.  As individuals, citizens of the world as it were, who is better is not really something I am thinking about, only that this is an unthinkable position for all of us.

EDIT - Thank you Warren...I am the mom of a soldier.

Answer 13

YES! I really do believe it is around the corner.Iran is stead fast in obtaining nuclear power.Not for energy,they have enough oil to supply their country for decades.They want to annilhate Israel,who happens to be our very close friend.If they achieve one nuke they will attack Israel,which will retaliate fierce.They posses over 300 nukes.Russia I think will step in too aid Iran,and Syria is always lurking in the shadows.All h**l will probably break loose in the next few years.I hope not but it is happening right now in front of us.

Answer 14

you bet ye it is.

Answer 15

You seem to be very well informed of everything that is going on but just to say one thing, George Bush is not an idiot. I am tired of people criticizing Bush when they know nothing of politics and procedures that have to be taken and now to the new race between Obama and McCain. It seems as if it is a popularity contest between them, I am assuming that most people will not care about what they plan to do just the color of their skin. I prefer neither of them and would rather have Bush run for another term. That's just my 2 cents.

Answer 16

What is your question?

Theoretically the world has been headed for World War III ever since the end of World War II.  That was a rather long time ago.  63 years, in fact.

Russia is a thug country.  Many Russians are good people, but their government is out to control what it can.

If you don't think we're any better you need to find another planet to live on.  This one has had its problems, but giving up won't cut it.
