Well, it's up and coming, I can bet.
Russia threaten America with Military force,
Irans Missile.
It would kick off in the middle east, as USA prepares for a war with Russia
the Middle Eastern powers rise up and attack USA, so they fight 2 wars,
China seizes this chance and invades. United Kingdom steps in against China.
Now, when the invasion begins (if it does) I could bet Russia/China invading Canada, then Alaska to disable it's fleet.
Opinions?
I laughed. This is another one of them fantasies, I can't believe your even imaging they're invading Canada etc. If you could analyse all that, you've got a bright future ahead of you... All that is your imagination and that's why I'm not going to argue with you, there's little evidence this will happen at all. It may appear like it's all preparing for war, but that depends on how pessimistically look at every event.
In the past 60 years there's been much bigger tension's between countries in the world, this is nothing compared to them and if you look at history, none of the two previous world war's started like this.
War is something that's avoided, you may not believe it but World War II was attempted to be avoided, they didn't all want to invade each other and waste a load of money and lives on a war. The league of nations kept letting Hitler getting away with things as they wanted to avoid a war at all costs.
'Twas an assumption, and yes, when the previous two started, we didn't have nucleur missiles, or missiles capable of hitting israel did we?Quote:

The time of World Hostility has passed and a fair amount of nations are working together on Global Warming and economic problems to bother with a war. Iran and North Korea are just pretending to be big, but they wont do anything, Iran's been testing missiles for years, infact this is like the 3rd time I've heard of a super new missile that can kill Israel...
There'll be the tribal squabbles in Africa, drug wars in South America and the Insurgancy in the Middle East, but that's it for a fair few years. The war is on Terrorists now, not other nations.

But I understand your point. :P
Russia will pull up a few tacticle (that looks like I've spelt it horrifically wrong =[) airstrikes against Polish or where-ever the damn thing's being built positions and that'll be it. If it even gets to that stage... American Congress will probably scrap the whole idea due to costs or something like that - they have a tendancy of doing that.
Would the USA be stupid enough to put them there though? Russia have threatened and it doesn't look like an empty threat at all. The American's wouldn't be stupid enough to waste their time, money and dignity putting missiles there which are going to be destroyed. Even if they do go ahead, I can't see how this would signal a war.Quote:

What do you mean by the middle east having revenge? I don't see Israel attacking America as they are America. Iran, they've got strong relations with the Russian's, most their arms come from Russia and some of their nuclear information, though a lot of that is from North Korea. Iran at the moment don't need to start a war with the American's and they know the odds are stacked against them.
We then have the Saudi's who have a very strong army, much like lots of other oil wealthy nations in that area, they're all very rich and they have a strong army, mainly as a threat if anything, the majority of them has never been tested. The Saudi's are a good friend of the American's so they'd presumably destroy Iran with the help of the Israeli's if the Iranian's did anything (which they won't). However should the Saudi's ever be upset by the American's, they have the most oil in the world, they can prevent the world from going round as far as I can see it. But if they do that they won't be getting money, infact they wouldn't be getting anything so they wouldn't bother.
The American's see nothing in Russia, I don't think many countries see much in Russia. China are heavily linked but as a communist country they're very much to themselves and because of their huge trading links, getting involved in a war would do them no good at all, they just don't need a war.
Wars between countries don't mean world wars, there's been loads of major wars since the world wars e.g. Cold war, Falklands war, Vietnam war, Korean war. If it happens then it happens and we'll probably all die lol.
There's more to the Iran and Israel thing than just that missile, there's pleanty of tension and a lot more pieces to it.
If stuff does break out it won't be 'World War III' unless pretty much everyone gets involved and all these conflicts grow into big wars. But in this day an age with all the treatys and alliances and trade agreements and everything it's really a bad idea to start a World War, this is what one of my history teachers was getting at when he explained how unlikey it was for there to be another world war.
All we know is that if there was another world war, it would probably result in the end of the world as we know it.
