the only question is... will it be World World III - U.S (and her allies) v.s. China (and her allies) - or will it be a Global Revolution, where the people of the world rise up and start the first ever global democracy!

Wouldn't it be probable to assume that the war will end with nukes? Unlike some of the fighting in the World Wars that occurred.

Nukes don't seem practical to me... they really only work as a scare tactic. If one country uses a nuke against another, the latter will then use his own nukes against the former... ending in mutual destruction. Furthermore, if a government used a nuke against its own people, it would destroy its working class, assuring its own destruction.

I dunno much about politics, but why would the government use a nuke against its own people? Kind of like suicide, only with explosions.

No one really benefits from the world ending, though. I'm not really that afraid of the world ending.

Both scenarios you've posited are ridiculously unlikely. More likely scenarios would be North Korea doing something stupid, which, fueled by ignorance, would be short and violent, or one of the more developed countries in the middle east doing something stupid, which, fueled by bigotry, will be protracted and wasteful.

Don't really see any big wars coming. All the major powers are way too economically dependant on trade with each other.

I think it's more likely to be a global revolution (or at least a big revolution in a lot of countries) than a third world war.

I am quite sure they are dozens of wars and conflict currently occurring in the world. Ranging from Syria,Mexico,Columbia,Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan and not to mention scores of other more minor conflicts but never the less conflicts. As for your two scenario's they are quite literally absurd.

I shudder to think what would happen if you gave the hoi Polli any sort of power.

Global revolution. I've been anticipating a second American revolution for about 3 months now. I don't expect it tomorrow, but it'll happen (give it a few years). So I'm going to try to get as much out of the system before my green-back is as useless as the paper its printed on.

We live in interesting times.

For a big war to happen, there are two things that come to mind. But they seem quite far fetched. Iran would need to aggravate NATO/US/EU to the point where they would conflict enough to the use of firearms which 'could' theoretically lead to large war between the Middle East and the West. In saying that, the region is very fractured and with the rise of some countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran intense economic and political rivalries have been created (admittedly due to Western Influence) so total Middle Eastern unification would be impossible. The other argument is that China could attempt to expand its borders - but from what I have read in various publications and observed in government responses to Chinese actions, the world is getting fed up by China's arrogance. So I think immediate retaliation would be imminent. If China touches Japan for example, India is obliged to get involved because of the Japan-Indian Defence Pact and vice versa. Australia would be obliged as well and because of ANZUS the USA would have to enter the war with Australia, if they hadn't come to Japan's aid already (though I'd think they already would have to help Japan). US would call on NATO and the world 'could' and I use 'could' very sparingly enter into a WWIII-esque type scenario. Whether or not any of that will occur. Who knows. Far stranger things have happened.

China will not go to war to the USA, their whole country would collapse first. China is already pretty split and the only thing that keeps it going to the crazy ammount of US money that goes there.

China would NEVER go to war with the U.S. They hold too much U.S. Debt and the U.S. is the main buyer of Chinese goods. It would be stupid. Actually, it would be stupid for any country to go to war with the U.S.

That wouldn't be a big war. Anyone who thinks Iran would stand a chance against the U.S. is an idiot. I highly doubt the U.S. would go to war with Iran though, it would be political suicide. That is unless Iran does something horrific.

Not for a long time. So far, just revolutions and rebellions which is a good thing for this world. We really do need the change.

As for WWIII, it won't happen for a long time. In fact, probably never.

I hope a major war won't happen. But it seems to be inevitable with all the troubles in the Middle East... and there are still conflicts outside that place.

Perhaps a large geopolitical conflict with NATO involvement. I don't really think anything gloabal will happen. Revolution or otherwise.

I think its going to be everybody against Iran. If Iran doesnt open up that straight (which supplies the world with 1/5th of oil), someone is going to take a first strike

False flag. They are going to sink the USS Enterprise. A 1961 aircraft carrier, which should be decommissioned anyway.. And it will be Iran who attacked us! Dun dun dun.

Why the hell would China and the USA go to war?

China and the USA are the biggest economic partners the world has ever seen. War would mean cutting all trade between the nations. America would see the cost of goods skyrocket and China would not be able to feed hundreds of millions of people.

It's unlikely they will but it's fairly obvious the U.S. is quite insecure on its fallen state while China continues to balloon up.

It would be stupid for any country to go to war with the U.S. Other than the U.S.'s obvious technological advantage, if the past few years have proven anything it's that we will spend all the money we can on useless wars.
