World war 3. it makes me so scared. HELP!?

Question

Im only 14 years old.

I knew what was going on between russia and georgia and i did read other people's questions on yahoo answers saying that there is a possibility that this could lead to WWIII. Others said that it may just be between the U.S. and China.

I get so paranoid/depressed. It causes me anxiety attacks sometimes thinking about this. I have a family who i love so much and it would kill me to see them go through something so horrible. I feel as if there is no point in living if all we are doing is fighting/killing each other. For what? Glory? War is pointless now-a-days. What's the point in existence then?Im sure the government knows the out comes of war. Why would they want this to happen, especially to their own people. This really made me realize that the world is a complete mess of chaos and no one really seems to care. You should really appreciate each and every second of you're life before the worse can happen. Every single day, let your friends and family know how much you love and care for them no matter how much they can annoy you sometimes. You don't want to live a life full of regrets.

and now my question is: What will happen to america if WWIII actually does happen?

Answer 1

.I'm Australian and I have a shock statement for you, 70% of Australians don't like America and 30% support another September 11 attack on your nation. While Australia and America share a lot of the same values it goes to show that we have a lot of differences. Taking into account the population of Australia at just over 21million people it is easy to see how many people dislike America.  Australia is just one nation of many in this world, so imagine how many people world wide dislike America. While I don't advocate war or terrorism on any nation or civilians it must be made clear to the American people that the days of America dictating to the world are over and more so should stop it. The American people should also take note that they have no right in telling a country that they have the right to independence from another or that they have the right to become a republic when it suits the interests of America. For instance Saudi Arabia, the September 11 attacks occurred  on one part because the American government supports the Royal family of Saudi Arabia which suppresses it people and which would like to become a republic, but because that does not suit the interests of America, the people remain suppressed. Dictating to the world will only  leed to WW3. Moreover, everyone is scared of war, they just don't know how to say it or there a bad lyer or yet again you could just ask a soldier who has been to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Answer 2

We will all be dead.  Nuclear Winter.

Answer 3

I personally cannot see world war three hapening for a long long long long time. these incidents like russia-georgia are all blown out of proportion by the media so they can cause a panic and make a huge story out of it. I cannot see little scale wars causing world wars nowadays. i don't believe things are as bad as they seem. so live your life like normal and don't worry about it. the news is trying to scare everybody for a story.

Answer 4

Relax.

WWIII already happened. I grew up during it. We called it "The Cold War." My father fought in it in Korea, and I nearly did, but was not yet of age to be drafted when we surrendered South East Asia to the communist enemies.

When I was a little kid, we had A-bomb drills at school more often than we had fire drills. One kid would be selected to close the curtains to block out the flash while the rest of us dove under our desks. It was considered an honor to be the curtain monitor. LOL.

I had "nuke-mares," which were oddly a common occurrence among American children in my age group. They stopped the year Reagan and Gorbachev came to power.

Hopefully, we won't go back to that, but please understand that you are descended from about 4 million years of human violence and warfare, and chances are that you, like your ancestors, will survive when things get nasty.

Live long and prosper. And pay attention to your studies. Especially history.

  

Answer 5

you know what,all you care is about you,when you name america you only care about usa people ,what about the rest of the world ?

Have you ever ask who develop those  weapons ?

the people who made those weapons are rich and powerfull ,they dont care who they can kill, more deaths is good for the weapons sistem,is good to have someone to hate ,buy a gun?

but if you live in peace is not good for the warriors

they find an enemy to hate for the bussines.

Answer 6

If you look at history these types of things have been going on for century's with differing countries.  Now that the media is so present we see it day in and day out on the news.  No one can predict when the next war is, just not really possible.  But you must remember that if Russia or China started a big war they know they are committing suicide with us.  China could infact take out America swifty, but we buy all of their products and they need us and much as we depend on them, so with that said it would have to be a really big problem for them to go that far.  We need to put in place the missile defense system in Poland to protect Europe from such places as Iran, yet also to protect us.  Finally we have the most advanced systems for war then any other country and with our space satelights we can take out missiles too.  

I wouldn't lose any sleep over something that you really have no control over.  

Answer 7

WW3 will not be pretty, just hope you dont survive the intial wave of nukes.
