The Next World War

Why was there only two "world wars"?
There has been many other wars and always has been and always will be

If a world war is just an ordinary war that affects most of the world then I would understand this but I am sure many countries didn't get involved in those.

So, I have had a thought as I normally do

Since the thought of another world war would possibly involve nuclear weapons, this would be suicide for almost all humans.
Therefore to have another conventional war would be practically impossible under those circumstances.

Is the world having the Third World War right now and we just can't see it?
This could be because of the ISIS factor and the way things are panning out there.
It could even be through trade.
That's not as silly as it sounds because you have trading blocs that are waging war on each other all the time.
Should one of these blocs not co-operate in honour then they will be turned upon by the rest and people could suffer that way.

I personally thing we are having WWIII right now.
Its under our noses and we just can't see it.

I think you are right on many points there.
The last and possibly the last big war was the Iran war.
I think we have a war on commerce
I just hope we never see another nuclear weapon detonate in hostilities because we all will be in deep sh**.

The world has constantly been at war but WWIII will be the final conflict me thinks

Yes, I think the world is at war now.
There can be no nuclear war which is what most people think the Third World War would involve.
In all the conflicts right now including terrorist atrocities how many people have been killed?
Also, how many people are a victim through other ways such as famine etc because of trade wars and other things?
Yes the world is still at war and we should be ashamed of ourselves

Ronald Reagan once spoke about a limited nuclear war in Europe
I am glad that dinosaur has disappeared.

I remember that.
What on earth was he thinking of
I think he just wanted to keep conflicts over this side of the Atlantic.
Of course there is no such thing as a "limited" nuclear war.

North Korea might escalate matters

Their leaders are telling the military to prepare for nuclear readiness .

There can't really be a Third World War because if will be the final conflict.
Should a nuclear weapon be used then things will escalate - simple!
However, the world is in conflict in other ways so yes, this could be classed as a war.
Its happening all over the globe.

A conventional WWIII is not going to happen so wars will happen "locally" and on different levels.
It certainly does look like we are all at some sort of war that only history will be able to describe.

Yip, we can't really have World War III.
We would just annihilate ourselves.
We are in a state of conflict all the time however.
Should peace ever happen universally and be lasting then we shall look back and say this was WWIII.
