England Said they will use nuclear weapons to its enemies.
Everyone knows the consequences of a nuclear war.

Vote Now!

This is ridiculous! England is not even a super-power. Their armed forces are not even capable of defeating third world nations such as Nigeria or Pakistan. Even if they are having the nukes, what will they do with them? They don't have any ICBMs.

England only shows off as they cannot use nukes. You know the international rule which is with the consent of all big nations, who ever uses nuclear weapons ,that country will be eradicated from earth after doing so. It is not in the interest of anyone to use nuclear weapons. World war 3 seems not far ahead though with all these clowns leading extremely developed countries with Trump being the most stupid president of US of all time.

TRUMP = ww3 :(

Yes, that England should win must happen a miracle. The presence of nuclear weapons is not an indicator of strength.

We have soft power ;)..
We go around to the soft and show them our power.. SOFT POWER ;D

 Their armed forces are not even capable of defeating third world nations such as Nigeria or Pakistan. :D.

6 people out of the SAS could wipe all those armies out..Nigeria oh they will attack us with STICKS ::).
Our weapons are way better ..BUT why would Nigeria want to fight the UK?.

BBC News | Africa | Nigeria wants return to Commonwealth
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/189775.stm
Nigeria will on Friday call for its urgent readmission to the Commonwealth. ... Mr Olisemeka has said that in view of the events of the past, he wants to stress "all .

Pakistan just send no AID and they will STARVE .. ;).

They don't have any ICBMs... :D..If we need to nuke you we can ;D.
I don't see anyone trying to invade us do you..Because the world will be gone if they tried..

Nope.
Like most of the good little American puppets you first need the authorisation of USA.

So be a good dog and stop yapping.

I think YOUR WRONG WE WILL BOMB WHO WE LIKE ;D..If needed .

Attack us then and see what will happen.. :D YOU BE DEAD ..EVERYONE WILL..
We are no ones puppy..

OBAMA got told to FUCK OFF ;)..

Puppy to America ..White america.BRITISH NATIVES from the past..BRITISH COUSINS ..
I have family in USA born family in Australian born..
But all descendants from the UK..

It's funny you look at us like a little tiny ISLAND
65 million people with 700 million cousins .Who's family are originally from the UK the motherland..

The only PUPPY I KNEW WAS TONY BLAIR ..And he MADE 100 MILLION for himself..
Because he liked the money bush offered him..

But other than that i don't see the UK being any ones puppy..
Mind you have you got a 100 million our politicians will suck your willy for that money..

Tony blair did ..

Now about this setting off nuke business..

It's about Labour saying they will get rid of our nukes because the leader saying he will never use them in any situation..

And they asked Mrs may and she said yes she would use them..
Well of course she will no point in having them if the situation arose ..She would have to.

Not like the UK is going around saying we will just bomb countries..
Not unless provoked ..

It's all about jeremy corbyn saying he will never use them..<WEAK LEADER..
So it's about our elections about who is the best leader the stronger leader..

So stop posting BULLSHIT ..

We the British always talk to our friends and cousins from around the world on what action should be taken before we ever go in..

But if we go in YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG..

You must be a threat to our freedom ..
And if you are a threat we will take you out..

Only 1 country has even used nuclear weapons in war, and I would expect them to be the next to use them too!
People often write about Russia, India or Pakistan using them, they would never do it!  They know that they would be annihilated almost immediately.

The good old US of A would get it's missile defences up, then nuke someone and claim it was a necessary act, otherwise *insert name here* would have nuked America first!

I wouldn't say ka you. Remember the conflict of England with Argentina for the Falkland Islands? How long did it take the British to defeat in this conflict? Don't underestimate the English fleet and aircraft.

England want to use nuclear weapons to fighting who? USA? I think it will be suicidal for them to said that. If nuclear weapons done turn to knockout then they should continue doing the treat. North Korea is treating nuclear missiles, Iran are they treating nuclear weapons, Russia president is they treating nuclear weapons USA is they laying on nuclear missiles and now England!

I believe the ww3 will not being allowed to use nukes, that will destroy the world and ruined the entire ecosystem.

And who can deny in time of war to use weapons? If the war is going to happen on the territory of another state they may not be used for nuclear weapons, but in the case when the troops occupying enemy territory that may apply.

A world with no nukes will be better, but who knows who will pull the trigger fisrt, i believe north Korea or russia will fire first against USA and his allies.

We would already be fighting the ww3 if Hillary had win.

Kim is surrounded by missile defense systems stationed around the border. South Korea has them and so does Japan. I've read that China is gathering forces along their border with NK, so we can expect that Kim's missiles won't go far. ;)
If USA decide to launch, that's a different story. They have more warheads on a single submarine than Kim in his whole arsenal.

I miss the option to send you to mental asylum for tonight.

Can you change the polls for me, please? It just might prevent nuclear war in the future.

In case you missed it, we are already experiencing World War 3, but of course it's slightly different than the bombings and casualties of the previous 2.

It's called NWO, and the big Generals (IMF, banks and big corporations) have under their economic and financial dictatorship the majority of the population, and under their possession almost every natural resources on the planet.

Presidents, goverments and politicians in general are just the pawns. Civilians are the victims. By the way, Europe is under islamic occupation right now...

First i would like to say that World War III will happen in future, and there is no doubt about that. And second, well i think at first countries will not use nuclear weapon, because they know devastating power of it and consequences. But as war would go on and one side would start losing, well in that moment nuclear weapon will be used. That is only one option so...

Suuuuuuuuuuuure

British is well known for not at all trying to wage war all around the world.

The British Empire? Man they had it coming! Those damn indigenes who were clearly threatening UK!

Why do you think so? It has long been an informational and economic war. It is also an element of a third world war. Syria, Korea, Georgia, Ukraine. How many more must be international conflicts to understand that the war was going. Just its phase is not as active as we used to know from history.

NWO, while absolutely real is merely description of status quo. Not an act of war, sir.

There was global competition for resources long before First World War, but for apocalyptic sects nobody called it "war" back then.

I would point you to the work of Clausewitz for what total war means. Nations and or empires turn into rabid dogs to tear "the others" to shreds or die in an attempt. We are not there yet.

Well I wouldn't call these countries stupid for using nukes, I think the only people who are going to end up nukes is just going to start the chain of a full nuking World War where the entire world is just destroyed by people just firing these at each-other. I know some people say that WW2 was the "War to end all wars" but this will be that one if it comes up, and it'll also end human civilization as we know it.


+1 to that, the news companies were coming out with stories that if Clinton won the defense contractors would've seen a boost in work and stock price. So, I guess she'd have to be pouring money into them.
Yeah bud in war no one cares about what you're "Not allowed" to do, the rules kinda change. In better words, there are no rules even if some countries try to set the "Rules of War"

I do think that this current sluggish world war worse because it can last forever. The manifestations of Islamic terrorism is also an element of war. We don't know who to direct them. Maybe the guiding hand of terrorists in Europe is also located in Europe.

I wouldn't call it a world war, if you can call it something already. Can't deny there's a lot going on in the world though and pretty sure things are going to escalate somewhere really soon. Also hacking and other 'virtual warfare' is playing a big role right now and in the future.

I cant agree with you with regards to that. Of course they know the consequences of a nuclear war. Yet they still make nuclears which is obviously be going to be detonated when they are threaten. They know how scary it is that is why they are willing to use it to defend their land

From what you acknowledge or not that the war is already underway, nothing will change. In this war every day people die. You can like the ostrich to hide its head in the sand, but this does not mean that people will stop dying in this war.

You got a good analysis. England or Great Britain for that matter is no more a superpower economically and militarily...in World War2 yes it was powerful but after that great war its power fade fast and is now reduced into an insignificant regional player. Look at its navy now and how weak it is compared to other countries like Russia and China. If there would be a global war right now, Britain may not be able to contribute much in a coalition of the willing to defeat the enemies.

Have you seen what the Russian Navy? All vehicles built over 20 years ago. The flagship of the Russian Navy "Admiral Kuznetsov" laugh the whole world during his trip in the tugs to the coast of Syria.

The real threat to World War comes from Islamic terrorists. The ISIS and its leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi can get the nuclear weapons from Pakistan (where many members of the government sympathize with the Islamists). They can also get the short-range ballistic missiles from Yemen or the DPRK.

Pakistan can be a threat only to India, but India also has something to say, and so there will never be used for nuclear weapons. Russia is more a threat than Pakistan. At the same time Russian never also will not use nuclear weapons. From the Russians comes the phantom menace. They are cowardly destroy the country from within through bribery of corrupt officials.

I don't think that countries (other than N Korea) would use nukes in todays day and age, mostly because nuking just means you'll be nuked (and then everybody loses).

Conflict with regards to north korea and Us are getting worse. Yesterday Uss vinson are now heading to the land of singapore and will be staying their until they received another call from trump. This action is for the last nuclear test lunch of north korea.

Americans use against North Korea tactics anacondas. They gradually squeeze the Kim regime into a powerful embrace. The more Kim is trying to move the more Americans squeeze hug. At the first attempt Kim to attack it will be destroyed. I think he understands and will soon give up.

It seems that most of the guys here are certain that there will be a WW3. Aren't you guys afraid of the impact on bitcoins with this perspective on the near future? Wouldn't it be devastating or even meaning the end of bitcoins if there was such a big impact on the (electronical) world with the usage of nukes?

Lol
If there is a WW3 btc is the last of your concern xD
You should be more concerned about NOT DYING

Money is useless in times of war. All that count is food and shelter.

There's a price to pay for using nukes since someone would aslo likely nuke you back... back to the stone age. I doubt anyone from NATO would just go out and nuke without notice since other members would have to be consulted and negotiated with. China also unlikely since, you know, exports. There's no benefit to killing your customers. Russia, I'm not sure but they can just stick to conventional warfare + guerrilla tactic like they did in Crimea.

Now, North Korea, that's a whole different scenario. They pretty much survived without foreign interaction anyway so they have less incentives in keeping relationships. They would still probably not just push a button though, daddy China would not be pleased.


Never underestimate human capacity for stupidity.

I believe that in a war between China/Russia vs United States, Europe won't be that much in trouble. The Netherlands even less. I have seen a map where you could see that Europe wouldn't directly be in danger in case of Nukes. Ofcourse, the aftermath of the bombing will also be terrible for 'us' but more in a way of; electricity, health problems and such. I believe that should be temprorary then but I must say I haven't read enough on this matter to know what I am talking about ;D.

I don't believe that world war 3 will happen very soon, but I certainly want to say that if world war 3 happen then it will lead huge destruction by nuclear weapons. recent activities of USA and other countries are just to be meant of showing their arrogance.

Yeah but not so sure about that...
USA has DOZENS of military bases in Europe.
I don't see Russia ignoring that... War between the two would be accross Europe not accros the ocean :/

Yeah, That's what I thought. England And the USA will use Bombs.
England and the USA are a threat. Not assad using chemical Weapons

You've been thinking? Think again! The difference is that the US and Britain warned that they will use weapons, but Assad has already used. I'm not talking about the bombing of city blocks.

Don't forget that the Russians are having nuclear-tipped ICMBs such as the SS-18 Satan, which are capable of targeting the mainland US. But the American military bases in Europe and Japan are easier targets for the Russians.

If we consider everything that happens in the world, i do not think it will happen... i mean nuclear war. But lets think for a moment that it happens. I think that Russia would win over United States of America. Mostly because Russian people are smarter... That is the main reason. Maybe America have expensive technology, but brain is what matters.

I think that there will not be a world war. Human civilization has already passed that stage of development, when there were world wars. The territory is defined. Now only local military conflicts are possible

You are mistaken in my opinion "Satan" it was the only Russian missiles which feared the Americans. Their range is 16000 km, enough to reach America. I do think that Putin was lured to the Crimea to quarrel with the Ukrainian KB"southern" (manufacturer of rocket engines). Soon the Russian will not have missiles capable of reaching America.

I agree but not because of her actions but rather people's response to her as a leader.

I can't remember which country (Saudi Arabia?) They were literally protesting her arrival when she was secretary of state.

But i think many presidents are now in the spot light. Top it with Nokor's leader then trump winning the election. Kim started testing nuclear weapons while trump also started bombing terrorists. Then putin come's in for economic reasons. Good luck earth

The situation with North Korea is somewhat calm now. Trump seems to have toned down his rhetoric against the DPRK. The Chinese president is the one who should be praised for diffusing the tensions.

Exactly, I do not support what US is currently doing interfering other countries but i do not agree more about what north korea is doong over the decades. When the war started between russia,china(which is the closest partner of NK), and  US. You know woiuld win in terms of air combat,land and most especially on the marinal

US always in this last decade has the politics of "helping" other country in needs like Vietnam and others, thats the main reason that little dictatorship countrys like north korea hate US and will be stupid enought to start the ww3.

Yes, because the US won't stand for dictators who torture and starve their people while having the best of the best.

Amen to that, no goberment should tolerated any kind of human right violation and defend the interest of the people on the world, its time we face that we are one common species in this planet and everyone should help each other around the world.

Like a say before noth korea will launch the first nuke over US surely, but US have and advance tec to destroy any missile that target them so when that happen US will have the perfect oportunity to invade that country for sure.

It's one thing to destroy the entire infrastructure and nuclear weapons by bombing from afar, but another thing invasion. Why did America invade North Korea? I think that at the first opportunity the Koreans will want to unite with South Korea. But whether they want South Korea to unite the impoverished and destroyed North Korea is another question.

If that is the case, then what stops the Americans (and Donald Trump in particular) from overthrowing the regime in Saudi Arabia? The KSA is the worst human rights abuser in the world. They stone women for adultery, behead people for apostasy, and murder gays for their sexual orientation. Not enough dictatorial for you?

Really stupid. Even the russian government are taking actions on the north koreas actions as well. If they contimue doing the things that they insisted things might become worse and worse

WW3 is not going to happen, it will be more like instant death for us ALL, wars usually last longer :(

In fact, WW3 already happened with ''cold war''. We was lucky that this war didn't become ''hot'' or nuclear war.
We was very near such scenario during crisis with Cuba in 1962.
Now, we have WW4 basically, with global terrorism.
Nuclear war is probably not option any more, even for Kim in North Korea, but we should be afraid of a biological attack, which could destroy the whole humankind.
Terrorist organizations like ISIS already searching for such weapons, and we have no defense against such attack.

Someone Please Start World War 3

Itself and begin. Why do you need someone? All used to do something in someone else's hands. It is not correct. Want something well done, do it yourself.

Well you are kinda right about Cold War. But if that was World War 3, history would have called it that. So it will stay Cold War, and there will be World War 3 :D . You are right about weapon of mass destruction, but i do not think that leading countries on the world would let terrorists to get there hands on such weapon. I am not one of global conspiracy freak people, but there are a lot of things that we do not know, that our government do not tell us.

The thing is that it was very near to an all out war, but it never got to the point of warheads being fired. That's why it was the cold war and not WWIII.

WW3 started exactly at the end of WW2, with the Korean War. We have been at war ever since.

8)

You are right. By and large the 2nd world war ended. After the victory over Nazi Germany, the allies were not able to share the victory. It all began with the division of Europe into spheres of influence. Then there was Cuba,Korea and so on. Just war has moved from the hot stage to the cold one. So it continues today.

No. The Korean war was not a "world" war. Only a few countries such as the US, China and the Koreas took part. Even the Soviet involvement was quite limited. It was more like a regional conflict.

We have international law you know where major countrues have agreed upon so it needs to be followed or otherwise you'll become an enemy with them. Having one great country against with lots great country and much greater? Also those cousins of your you have been talking about has gone far to comsider you as theur cousins. So proud but really empty. Pathetic. Read the laws because no one is greater or above the laws! The law prevails!

What is going on in the world seems to me that we are not far from the third world war. Where do not look in every corner of the world a conflict and always in this conflict, tied large countries such as the US and Russia. Even a little bit if you are the stock will be heated and all the stronger.

There are a few isolated conflicts going on, and it is not a big deal. These small conflicts don't have the potential to escalate in to a full blown global conflict. For example, take the case of Syria. Russia and the US are involved, but they are not directly participating. Only the proxies are fighting.

How can you say it is not a big deal when people are dying all over the world: Syria, Israel, Ukraine, soon North Korea. And these isolated conflicts can merge into a big one when large countries get involved on different sides of the conflict.

How is it not involved? Who bombed Tomogavkami Syria? And who is bombing from aircraft Syrian city? As Americans and Russians take an active part in the war in Syria. And Iran, Turkey,Israel? There is a real world war.

Russia and the United States do not fight among themselves in the real world, they can only develop an information war. But with other countries, the development of war is possible.

Yes you are right, they are not fighting in real world at the moment. For now small fights are in center of media and peoples thinking. It would be catastrophic if Russia and United States of America would start an open war at this moment. I do not think that would end well, for any of us.

I'd agree with this...  I believe any leader who has the power and access to use nukes would not say they would not use them, otherwise, why have them in the first place.  For most rational leaders/countries, nukes are a supposed deterent.  They are not built to be used, but for the threat of the potential to use them if needed.  The UK falls into this category.  I would hope that no ruler will be foolish enough to pull the trigger again, as retaliation is the only response and then we are all f$&k!d   

... it seems this is all a game of 'consequences'... but at a huge cost to us all

Everything will be destroyed if one of the countries using nuclear, and the UN will not work anymore

On the territory of third countries, the Russians and Americans are fighting constantly. Open confrontation will not be because the Russians have no forces to conduct an offensive, and the Americans don't want.

Tensions between US, Russia, China and North Korea are increasing.

North Korea conducted two nuclear tests and 24 ballistic missile tests in 2016 alone, defying six UN Security Council resolutions banning any testing.

And it has conducted additional missile tests on 2017 – including one that failed when the missile blew up soon after launching.

But the secretive country has shown no signs of slowing down, warning that it is ready for “full out war”.

this my oppinion  :)

Last time in the world such a hardened situation remains, that conflicts develop very high probability rate. To take at least the situation with North Korea and even what is happening in the Middle East will not lead to good, So I think that the Third World War is not far off.

I think you are right about things that are happening in this moment, between this countries that you said. But i think that if some problem happen, and North Korea start a war with some country that you mentioned, i think there is big probability that United States of America, Russia and China will unite against North Korea. But that is just a thought.

It will be foolish to expect the Russians and the Americans to indulge in a direct war against each other. They will only fight using the proxies, as they are aware that a bilateral war will produce no winners.

I am confident that WW3 will never happen for a decade at least. These fake news are alarming some people. Meanwhile NK is secretly working on somethings God knows what while they are using missile testings as a form of distraction.

Recently North Korea stated that they are going to attack japan with a missile. As an update yesterday japan is now trying to buy a tomahawk missile from the US because of that treat

North Korea has always been like that. But I don't think they will start WW3. They are just doing some psyche warfare with Japan or even United States. Because I still believed that they won't used nuclear weapons unless they are provoked by either countries. President Trump now says that he wants to talk to North Korea. Maybe this is a sign that they don't want any war with them. And there is a new President in South Korea's neighbors which says he will likely talk to North Korean's as well. So for me there would be no WW3 happening.

It is not the first time I have heard that the third world war will have a beginning from the eastern countries, and there is nothing surprising in this. Especially if you look at how Muslims behave.

This is ridiculous. I believe that the North Koreans are being bribed by the American defense corporations, so that the latter group could benefit from increased sales. This is the whole chain:

1. US Corporations pay their bribes to the fat boy
2. Fat boy warns Japan and South Korea that he will attack them using missiles.
3. Japan and South Korea purchases missile defense systems from American corporations such as Raytheon.
4. More profit and revenue for Raytheon.
5. Increased tax revenue for the US treasury, and more local jobs created.

Only one mistake, South Korea is not buying America's anti-missile systems. Trump asked for money for something that'll just put your weapons on their territory. With this idea he was sent. No he will not pay. Fat same problem as the US and Japan.

I hope the war will not happen, because it only hurts everyone in this world!

Yes... the new South Korean president (Moon Jae-in) is a good guy. He is a pacifist and he hates wars. Already he has made it clear that he want to improve the relations with the DPRK. Perhaps the Japanese president (Shinzō Abe) has something to learn from him.

I don’t think North Korea will be able to cause WWIII, all they can probably do is cause their own destruction and take part of another country or two with them.

I agreed with you, but with nuclear capability who know what a little dictator like kim will do to defend his comunism ideals.

I don't think so. In North Korea the Communist regime. Since it is impossible to negotiate and live peacefully. On the border of North and South Korea are constantly taking place provocations. Or the new President of South Korea have not yet the situation, or he is a traito.

all of us will hope the same thing like you and we know that world war is only bring death to human and we should not make war. but i think the leader of each country must know this and they need to declare about peace in every country so citizen don't have to worried.

There's also a chance that North Korea will be ready to use nuclear weapons at some point and we know they are crazy enough to use them.

They are already testing intercontinental ballistic missiles which can take nuclear warheads till U.S.
We all know that it's great dictator will not even think twice before hitting the launch button. So there is a possibility hanging on our head.

Its only natural that each presidents of the different nations doesnt want to start a world war, we are just waitng what will they do to prevent it.

It seems to me that not everyone wants peace. Some rulers are ready to sponsor the war and sell weapons. Only in order to earn money on this. The cost of many people's lives

During the late 1990s, the South Koreans were able to negotiate with their northern neighbors. For example, the Kaesong Industrial Park was created in 2002 after such successful negotiations between the two countries.

The only issue is that if he hates wars and refuses to get ample protection and then some nut attacks them with nuclear weapons they are kind of screwed.

I do not represent In what form and what formats the Third World War has a new one, I am quite sure that this can not be avoided, after all, mankind knows the war all over the world.

I don't like uncertainty. I want to already figure if the war is then you need to start to destroy each other and continue to live on for those who survived. And so all suffer. Besides, war has a negative side and positive.

There is no need to use nuclear bombs... Look at the çivil wars taking place on earth. They're much worse than nuclear bombs...

I do think that this current sluggish world war worse because it can last forever. The manifestations of Islamic terrorism is also an element of war. We don't know who to direct them. Maybe the guiding hand of terrorists in Europe is also located in Europe.

I think world war 3 is more than about nuclear war. I think there are even more powerful weapon there that is hidden to the public and will only be unleash if a war happens. Not mentioning biological weapons and nanotechnology. Theres also a possibility that world war 3  will be a cyberwar or a ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE taking the world.

Moon Jae-in realizes that the best way to protect his citizens from a nuclear attack is to prevent a major war from occurring. The DPRK has refrained from using nukes all these years. Is it wrong to assume that they will continue with this policy for the next 10-15 years, if there is no provocation?

As per Albert Einstein said that it would not be the world war 3 who could declare the winner else it would be on the world war 4 in which people now only uses a stone sword or an archer. WwIII is worst because of the nuclear war trust me

It does not have to be like that. First of all, even if nuclear war happen, there will be some places on earth that will not be destroyed by nuclear bombs. So that mean that some pare of human race will survive and continue to live. And if we take that nuclear war happen, and it happen in most larger scale that it could, well that we have nothing to fear, because Terra will not be livable for a long long time. And even if some miracle happen and people survive, there will be technology left to salvage and it wont be stone and sword and axes...

There will be no nuclear war, trust me. In 1945, the Americans were able to use the nukes because none of their rivals had that kind of weapons. But things have changed now. Almost a dozen nations possess nuclear weapons as of now.

Americans can now use nuclear weapons but the consequences of a nuclear explosion and contamination for a long term site stops them. They have enough conventional weapons to attack any country.

Nuclear weapons now are just used to deter future aggression on a country. Any nation now can tell that they have nuclear weapons in their arsenal but in actuality they don't. Look at Iraq, Saddam Hussein. America believed that they had WMD, but they didn't find any single one. The UN inspection team already declared that they didn't find any as well. But look what America did to Iraq, they war them that cost a lot of American lives. Saddam was bluffing with Iran when he says that he had WMD because that time Iran has and up to today.

As you say biological weapon exist but are considered war crime to used it in a war, taking aside the terminator ending you speak, it could be like a resident evil weapon as well

How long the radio-active contamination is going to last? I am asking this because almost immediately after Nagasaki and Hiroshima were destroyed in the nuclear attacks, the Japanese started rebuilding them. If the contamination was still there, then they wouldn't have done that.

You only say that out of ignorance (funny, given nickname youve chosen) ;) you consider civil war worse, because it is something you are familiar with through the media.

Nuclear bomb doesnt rape women and children, sure. It "only" evaporates them, the very air surrounding them, infects the very earth and every tree left standing with lasting radioactive izotopes that will act as time bombs against anybody, who will come closer. Nuclear bomb doesnt only kill people in the area, it effectively makes the area unhabitable for many generations. People and animals, who survive the initial blast will die either of poisoning or if they are especially lucky - will be turned sick and infertile.

I find nothing as terrifying as nukes, since they actually end life. All life. They are closest thing we are ever going to get to Grim Reaper.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fallout

"Late or delayed effects of radiation occur following a wide range of doses and dose rates. Delayed effects may appear months to years after irradiation and include a wide variety of effects involving almost all tissues or organs. Some of the possible delayed consequences of radiation injury are life shortening, carcinogenesis, cataract formation, chronic radiodermatitis, decreased fertility, and genetic mutations."


Japanese didnt know long term effects of nuclear warheads... and neither did the Americans. In 1945, the nature of fallout poisoning was still very poorly understood.

If we are talking only about survival, the area of blast will stop being extremely lethal in about two months. However since radiation effectively bonds itself with solid matter (houses, trees, earth) it will stay extremely poisoning unless those objects are removed. We are talking about organ failure, infertility still births and malformities among children. Not to mention cancer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_lethal_dose

I don't think there would be any hesitation to use what weapon may be advantageous for any nation. if you think about it, bio war and nuke war would pretty much have the same harrowing effect on a lot of innocent people and the world in general. simply put, if a third world war breaks out, it probably would put the human existence in the brink of extinction

The Americans later claimed that he rate of birth defects in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were almost at the national average. There were a lot of censorship, and videos filmed by Japanese journalists were confiscated and destroyed. However, the National Academy of Sciences noticed a sharp increase in the rates of microencephaly and anencephaly.

It's about the fact that everyone has become known to everyone. But we do not know the real picture. Maybe there are secret materials that talk about the terrible mutations. Radiation is unpredictable and it is unlikely that anyone will survive a nuclear explosion

Do not happen

Peace is beautiful.
 ;D ;D

Right now the world is preparing for a giant nuclear war.

Yes peace is beautiful, but it is not about peace alone. It is about life, because life is even more beautiful than peace. Why i say life, well when you have war, price for war is life. And there is nothing more important than life. So it would be great if war did not exist. People can find peace always, but to bring back people from death that is impossible.

Nope. The chances of something like that happening is quite remote. None of the super-powers (not even the United States) are likely to use nuclear weapons against their rivals, as the retaliation is going to be far worse.

If world war 3 happens

Then mankind will disappear from this world
Nuclear is very dangerous because we know Japan itself until now still feel nuclear made by united states.

They will not allow the use of nuclear weapons, because it can destroy the entire planet. Even if they survive, they will not be interested in remaining without all the benefits of civilization.

Ww3 will be very dangerous because of nuke weapon, and i think it will be continue with ancient weapon like the old time...  ???

I think world war 3 can also be fought via information leaks and virtual communications, Aside from nukes, whoever has the most advance proramming can easily manipulate the war with false informations in the entire web. Because this is the only thing new in the recent war. The internet wars. And obviously worldwide death that can cause major drop in todays population.

The world war 3 doesn't necessarily mean a nuclear war. The warring nations are unlikely to use nuclear weapons. Even if one country is able to kill 20 or 25 million individuals residing in their rival nation, the retaliation can wipe out at least a few million of their own citizens. If a head of state attempts nuclear strike, then he will be overthrown by his own deputies.

In your judgment you consider such factor as propaganda. There are a lot of countries in which dictatorships use propaganda as a weapon. Do you think that MPs in countries such as North Korea or Russia have the ability to influence the leader? Even if they do not agree completely fear seized them, and they fulfill the order.

I hope that the leaders of such powerful powers will show wisdom and renounce war. We live at a time when we need to appreciate and support the world. And do not show your strength demonstrating weapons

World war 3 is almost there as you can see russian and other country they don't understand each other they want to become more powerful and then they want to prove something on this earth why they just don't fight each other in one triangle ? Give them gloves and let see whos stronger enough.

Yes that would be fine, if other countries would not join up and fight too. If it was only few strongest counties, even that would be fine, but collateral damage would be too great. Small countries would pay the price too, and not to speak about Earth destruction... I am kinda bored my self about things that happens at the moment in the world, and part of me want to end it even if it is on bad way. But i would rather not to happen at all.

Looking the present situation if an war explodes surely the participants will be North Korea and US. China might stand on a side and tries to make situations for its growth. US won't end up with nukes, but if Korea is on the peak atrocity to use nukes then US might use it because the cause will be severe.

To America of missiles North Korea will not reach, and if before the war the us military will be out in the ocean then Kim will make no sense to bomb the territory of South Korea. The same applies to Japan. Kim has no chance in this war.

WW3 will be, 1 massive emp blast - followed by the end of crypto

North Korea is making rapid progress with their missiles. The latest test was of particular interest to the defense analysis. Some say that North Korea already possess missiles which can reach mainland US.

Who knows? I really cant say that one either even if you have a good logical thinking there is still a lot of wholes in it. They might increase their profit on the sales part but there are also some part of their economy that would surely goes down which i think US already knows

And even if they don't have a chance if you compare with the us military might, the fact that Kim can start a third world war would be enough reason for worry. It's not going to be about who's going to win or who's going to lose in a third world war. Once it starts, we're all going to be affected one way or another and that's nothing of the positive kind

I don't think it's real. If the Koreans had a chance to develop missiles which can reach America I'm sure the Americans would have been a blow for all objects which can produce such missiles and launchers of existing missiles. Agree it's stupid not to react to how your opponent is growing strongly.

how about rusia ?
they have a largest nuke power in the world

The largest nuclear power in the United States. Russia from her behind. But I think that there is no difference if the potential of both these countries will be enough to several times destroy the whole earth. I'm sure that nuclear war will not be as it is impossible to win.

If there is another world war there wont be anything because the nuclear weapons every major countries are holding will eventually wipe out everything on its way and not only will it be the end of crypto ,it might be the end of human culture as we know today. I dont think we will see a war that would consume everything,hope for the best.

That is wrong. Russia is having more number of nuclear weapons and nuclear-tipped ICMBs when compared to the United States. The other nations such as China are far behind.

Wrong as well russian nuclear weapons are somehow useless at all because US has more anti nuclear weapons and nope it is not true that russia has more nuclear weapons than Us they are actually just the same

If the Russian weapons were actually useless, then NATO could have invaded that country many decades back. And regarding the number of nukes in the possession of each country, check this:

Nato didnt need to waste one bullet to destroy the UdSSR sithara you wannabe commie.

Where is the udssr now hu?

Fact.

Want to know another fact majority of russias nukes are more then 50 years old and need to be renewed. But sadly russia has no $$ for that.

You know, it would be splendid, if we could stop name calling and returned to the premise of the thread (with was started by simpleton to begin with).

Personally, I dont see, medium term, window for yet another "war to end all wars". Russians/Chinese understand, that its costs would outweight any possible benefits and westerners... these days lack even common ethos, that would motivate them to fight a prolonged war.

If we are talking about global conflict, look at growth of muslim countries - but those wont fight directly with nukes either. They simply lack industrial base needed for modern warfare, therefore they instead chose trench warfare via creeping sharia law dismantling secular institutions and vastly superior demographics next to secular, atomized west.

Communism is the worst shit ever and you should call it out as what it is...

Edit

Islamic terrorism just bought 460 billion $ worth of US hightech weapons.
They can wage war through the whole century now.

Yes, communism is absolutely vile ideology - and Russians unlike corrupted european governments actually publicly denounced and dismantled it  ;) current system of the country is far closer to pre-communist Tsarist system, mixing nationalism and religion of forefathers.

Mecca of communism today is in Brussels, not in Moscow... to my shock.

I was talking about the udssr. Todays russia is an oligarchy.

@brüssel

Socialism != communism

Communists and socialists do not recognize the right of private property. Russia has long passed the initial accumulation of capital and now from time to time is a bandit redistribution of property. These are signs of wild capitalism. All the oligarchs are relevant to the crime. This is the America of the 1930s.

In my opinion, the World War 3 will be fought by the NATO against the Russia-China alliance. Even a few days back, China created unnecessary tensions in the South China sea region.

In the world there are so many local conflicts that affect the interests of superpowers that in passing you think about the fact that really the Third World War is not far off. If you really want to know what will happen next, you just need to look at the leaders of the country and their state. You correctly named such countries as China, Russia and the US Well, a significant role Putin But steal in all this situation, Syria and North Korea.

North Korea is very unpredictable. And the leader of this country is strange. It seems to me that the Third World War will begin because of the conflict of this country with some other.

And how much it became known from the media Donald Trump another aircraft carrier sent to the North Korean region and it seems to me that this will not be with the enchanting movement of the Allied army including NATO. It seems to me that under certain circumstances, China and Russia will not support the presidents of North Korea. Perhaps the people of North Korea really need to be given the freedom to see the world and not what the authorities say to them.

Oligarchs are everywhere and this war will be funded by them.
If you are familiar with the Rothschild.

No, the oligarchs are unable to Finance that which is contrary to the interests of the state. When Rothschild was concentrated in his hands the entire oil industry of America and began to influence the policy of his business was split into smaller companies which could have a significant impact. So do in countries where the government is not about shady schemes with the oligarchs.

A conflict involving North Korea will not deteriorate in to a world war. If a war happens, then they will be on their own. No one will come to their rescue, including China and Russia.

I think superpowers accumulate atomic bombs as an element of dissuasion, not really to use them. Nowadays the scenario of a nuclear war seems unlikely because it would take the world to the apocalypse. Even when anti-missile shields have been developed, it would only take 1% to fail for a global disaster to occur. Current atomic bombs are much more powerful than those that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The one of Hiroshima was of 15 kilotones, the one of Nagasaki of 21 kilotones. Today there is Castle Bravo of 15,000 kilotones and the Tsar Bomb of 50000 kilotons. In this graph you can see the comparison based on the nuclear fungus that these bombs produce.
https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/rdblr5xxju0xddce8k2h.jpg

You are right about the potency of the modern nuclear weapons. For example, Tsar Bomba is having a blast radius of around 35 km. Probably, anyone living within the 100 km to 200km radius of the epicenter has very little chance of survival.

Yes I really agree with you

Nuclear weapons are not all of them

There are many more technological weapons.
The English country can not make world war 3 only by nuclear only.

This is very devastating to us, people. The best thing for us to evade this is to pray hard. This kind of cases should not be tolerated. During world war 2 I've heard the story of my grandmother almost everyday the only food they ate is only a bread. And I dont want everyone to suffer it. Its so hard we should imagine the outcome of this before going to war, every leader should mind these things-> treasure(economy), people, and their lands.

That we can talk about the future or about a possible third world war if the availability of nuclear weapons on the planet has already reached from those quantities that can destroy the entire planet and after that there is no point in talking about the 3 world war.

Why do you think that the third world war may not start with nuclear weapons? You don't think you can fight conventional weapons? A nuclear weapon allows you to seize their territory. Is the war in Syria does not fall under the definition of world war?

I think more casualties compared to the last wars would happen here. These days the mind set of people are not serious on wars. People want soldiers for benefits but not all offcourse. Many people has still no idea when war's gonna happen and most soldiers played online games. So whats the gamble? WW3 will ba wars on nuclear and hacking each countries precious secrets.

No. I think that the opposite is going to happen. Back then in the 1940s, the life expectancy was quite low, and the couples were having 7-8 children each. So even if someone died as a soldier, few people cared. But that is not the situation now.

Yes, but back than people did not have weapon of mass destruction, and other things that people have now. Today one person can destroy whole city with one push of a button, and i am not talking about nuclear bomb, that is even worst. In 1940s fire power was replaced with number of humans, today one squad can do a job that was done by... let say 100 soldiers back in 1940s.

This is largely untrue. Postmodernism, existencionalism and other movements, that see war akin to apocalypse have roots in previous world wars, that bled Europe dry.

Pre-war Europe was not backwards place but epicenter of the progress with demographics and life expectancy comparable to second world countries (such as Turkey or Mexico) today.

So, I have to disagree this time, Sithara. People care immensely, to the point, that it turned world history upside down.

http://greatwarproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/antiwar1.jpg

I still think, that talking about nuclear war is pointless as it would turn northern hemisphere into large moon crater one way or the another. Limited conventional warfare is pointless also as no major power is capable at this time to permanently subdue all its opponents. Not even United States has the power to win conventional war against everybody else - and no reason to attempt it either.

So, we will see many local wars where different cultures clash. Power balance will continue to shift, but no global war is on horizon. Because no major players could either justify the costs or hope, that the victory lasts.

There are non-nuclear weapons which can wipeout entire cities in a matter of few seconds, such as thermobaric bombs. And every year, more deadlier weapons are being invented.

well, world war 3 will happen. And when it comes, people will use rock and stick to fight in the world war 4. Therefore, we should avoid the war as much as we can all the human will be elimiated

If nuclear war will happen they maybe earth will become flat like what others belief rolf.. Im not insulting them but i believe on war also those ignorance leader who will always wanted to proved there power to the world with killing those innocent people who don't know about war or what really is going on.

If a third world war occurs, then the next (4th) world war will be fought in the space. Because the earth will become uninhabitable as a result of the nuclear fallout and the humans will be forced to set up space stations far away from the earth to escape its impact. Also, there is a chance of the humans trying to settle in other planets, such as Mars.

All wars are destructive and especially with modern capabilities. We must learn to avoid them and solve all problems peacefully.

Wars and conflicts will disappear once the population gets educated enough. See the list of ongoing conflicts around the globe. All of them are happening in the developing nations.

In addition to those countries in which there are conflicts, there are also those countries that are involved in these conflicts. And sometimes it pursues its goals and these parties are very well developed, who are leaders in political economic and military terms.

There are countries such as the United States and Russia who are indirectly involved in these conflicts. But they are just providing weapons and training. All the fighting is taking place inside Syria.

they are absurd. that's not gonna happen. only there will be confusion because of economic shortfalls. the country is divided and there will be new powers. of the world 3. times will change, but not the war. polarization won't. stay calm and continue with your life. protect your money. don't waste it. :-[

World war is really the key for those business persons one of the biggest whales in the market especially US for me is really earning a lot right now for just a simple conflicts that they are doing in asia how pathetic right?

Yeah... the chances are pretty low. The world powers have realized their past mistakes during the WW1 and WW2. War only cause suffering and pain. So it is better to wage a proxy war or economic war, rather than indulging in a full fledged economic war.

Recently North Korea stated that they are going to attack japan with a missile. As an update yesterday japan is now trying to buy a tomahawk missile from the US because of that treat

North Korea says a lot, but does little. She constantly threatens someone. It's just such a strategy of behavior. I'm sure that they will not attack anyone.
And in general there is no threat of a third world war. We live in a civilized world.

In order to start world war need to come together interests of different States. Who is interested in the impoverished territory of North Korea. She doesn't need anyone. If the Americans decide to war that no one can stop them. Soon world war will be in Syria than in North Korea. Kim understands that it is not interesting to anyone and tries to attract the attention of the rockets.

And as always, it is the United States which benefits in the end. More Tomahawk sales means more revenue for the American treasury (a single missile costs around $2 million). And the sale will create many thousands of jobs in the United States as well.

Which is perfectly fine, if you ask me. Free market has no point in defense industry and its perfectly normal, beneficial even, that countries manufacture their own weaponry with local resources and then sell them to long term allies.

The downside here of course is, that entire threat of North Korea is severely blown out of water from the point of view of Americans.

However, look at it from japanese view, friend. If war in peninsula ever goes from cold to hot - perhaps even on western provocation, then its japanese, not Americans, who are well within radius of NK counter strike. Japanese are prudent in this case.

In the third world war only the leaders of the world will be to blame and not those who are now on everyone's lips for example in the village or North Korea. Thanks to the actions of the US and Russia, a large-scale war will be possible.

What makes Japan a prime target is the presence of countless American military bases in the country. Perhaps time has come to reduce the number of military bases, especially in Okinawa. Japan is fully capable of defending itself. Then why it needs all these American bases?

Why think about war when we should think about peace  :-\

WW3 right now is more likely then ever before. If world leaders keep pushing each other towards the last edge we are all doomed. We should make peace not war, world would be better n safer place.

You offer no real suggestions. Why would the Japanese to oust the Americans? Two warriors it's always bigger and better than one. It achieves this by Putin. Divide and conquer. Nobody will give him that opportunity. Even the fact that trump is playing on the Russian side will not help Putin.

WW3 seems to be very unlikely right now, especially with the election of Donald Trump as the president of the United States. This has reduced the tensions between the United States, and its rivals such as Russia and China. And the North Korea issue is too minor to create a conflict on the global scale.

Seriously, england using nukes? I do agree that England was a part of world war 1&2,but its chances to be a part of world war 3 if it happens are very less,the countries that would take part would be North Korea and US and China most probably if WWIII takes place ,even though the possibility of WWIII are very very less.

A fun theme. Why England nuclear weapon? Because it has James bond... But seriously.. I saw Russian "Caliber" from submarines under water shoot - all in the purpose. And American "tomogavki" on an empty airfield... 15 percent flew, and where are the rest gone ?

The United Kingdom is a major member of the NATO alliance. So they will be part of any future global-scale conflict, as long as the NATO is also involved. That said, I really don't know what will be the scale of their military involvement.

Problems can I go to any state and even a united kingdom. I was first of all to draw the attention of those rulers who lead the leaders of the countries and On what they conduct the policy in the world. From this we can draw a conclusion and What future awaits the planet.

Hillary Clinton, George Soros and the elite need world war 3 so that they can reduce population to their planned goal. under Trump their plan has been put on hold for a while.

http://allnewspipeline.com/images/GG10.jpg

I hope world war 3 will not happen because if this happen this is the most destroyer war in history because every country have different hightech weapons. And if war will happen again many people are affected and many also for aure sacrifice their own life and many innocent people die. What is the result after war? No every country have dead everyone loss so its better dont start war. Start peace to everyone.

We can ourselves be the fault that the result of the third world war will be the complete fall of mankind and the destruction of our Earth. First of all, I believe that the guilt of people will be that we ourselves bring to power such politicians who make such bad decisions and start local conflicts first, and then they can turn into a big war on a world scale.

Actually war is happening in many different countries fir example in the middle where millions of people are getting and nobody even cares even Pope francis, WHO, Human rights and other international community. What is happening in the middle east i think there is some political agenda occurring behind the scenes, all those countries in the middle east: libya, Afghanistan, syria all there leaders has been turned into an evil dictator that's being news in US mainstream media's. What is the US government objective in these countries, well first of all the middle east is rich in oil which has a good value in the world market that's the elites are attempting to control this countries which they have successfully done.

The main aim of Hillary and Soros is to create unrest in the world, there by increasing the defense sales. A part of the profits directly goes to these guys, and it is in their interest to create new wars and conflicts in the globe.

It turns out that the most interested people in the wars are the leaders of the countries. So I completely agree with you that if the Third World War begins it will be a very strong interest of the leaders of the major countries of the world.

Very interesting question regarding the third world war. The fact is that if you look at all the military conflicts that are happening now and then Who is involved in them, clearly one can come to the conclusion that all these wars will not end so quickly yet. If you pay attention to Syria and even to North Korea, you can definitely say which countries will be the culprits of the 3rd World War

You are a real sheeple.

Trump wants the global temp too increase. That means higher water level. That means the basis for life of hundred millions of people will be destroyed.
Trump wants to stop immigration. That means death for the refugees.

That is a good plan for reduction of the human population.

500 million means 2% of the smartest (= ~140 million) + 7% of the best workers (= ~350 million).

No one will ever reach a balance with nature, and this too. Following the example of how migrants try to break the balance of life in some country. Thus, the migration services try at least a little to restore order. We see very strongly What happens in Europe because of migrants and would not want such a problem to occur in the United States.

North Korea is not going to attack anyone. Their's is just empty talk. Let's focus our attention on Syria. It is true that most of the world powers are involved in Syria. But their involvement is limited to air-strikes and training. So the Syrian conflict also is not going to escalate in to a world war.

I believe the ww3 will not being allowed to use nukes, that will destroy the world and ruined the entire ecosystem. Lyrics Fed (http://www.lyricsfed.com/)

This is incorrect. Syria is already a world war. The price of oil is low and likely to decline further. Russia is not interested in a stable situation in Syria. This can significantly reduce the volume of sales of Russian hydrocarbons to Europe. So they will do everything so that the world did not come in Syria.

Today in the world very much heated atmosphere and can flash all at any minute. We see interference in the internal affairs of different countries, both Russia and the United States of America, and how this can end can be foreseen. As they say, we ourselves will be guilty of destroying ourselves.

England seem to forget that without the help of USA, They are completely helpless, they may start the war but i doubt they will have the power and weapons to end it with help, Even the USA needed help in Afghanistan.

Lol are you going to tell the other countries to not use any nukes because it can destroy your county? Seriously? Isnt it obvious that if you are their enemy their main purpose is to destroy your country and your people

Yes.. decades of cost cutting measures have left the British Armed Forces as a toothless organization incapable of waging a war against well equipped armies. Without the USAF, they will find it difficult.

And who exactly would start war with United Kingdom first? Ze Germans?

Much like North Korea or Unted States, UK has massive deterrent in form of sea and nuclear arsenal. So there are only two options for conflict.

1. Civil war.

2. Starting more wars on foreign soil.

I belive the second option is undesirable  ;) the former doesnt really call for a strong army, since its weapons would end up on both sides of th war. Like in Syria or Yugo.

If a single country used nukes at the start of a great war, everyone who has access to nukes would follow suit. Though i don't think england would be the first one to do this and hopefully no country would be stupid enough to initiate a nuclear attack. A nuclear warfare would mean almost extinction level disaster for everyone.

Sure there will be nukes!

I guess the most powerful nuclear weapons have a blast radius of less than 100km. So a nuclear warfare doesn't automatically mean the end of all forms of life on this planet, at least for the short term. But in the long term, survival will be difficult, provided how quickly the radiation spreads through air and water.

World war 3 will also include massive cyber attacks and hacking wars. Some countries are employing army of hackers in preparation for this kind of warfare.

This is only a theory. The Japanese survived after the nuclear bombings, and Chernobyl disaster. There are many people who never left the area of infection and safely live there still. Animals are also great feeling in there. The effect of radiation is still too poorly understood to speak of the destruction on the planet.

If that is the case, then be prepared to live without internet.  ;D

How can a particular country prevent hacking attack by the outsiders? Should they cut the internet connection to the other countries, and restrict the access within that nation? But even this won't be fail proof. There can be foreign spies and hackers residing in that particular nation.

Sithara is referring to world war as in all encompassing global conflict - in response to the OP  ;) world had not seen such war since 1945. In this matter Syria is just another battleground where powers - both global and regional, settle their differences.

I am glad, that North Korea ended up to be what I guessed in the first place, foreign policy recon.


It is not theory. Nuclear fallout is well documented. Bombs dropped on Japan were very inefficient by modern standarts, yet both managed to wipe in excess of 70 000 people on impact, killing about as many in fallout and related diseases. That was well before "dirt" bombs were developed.

Majority of fallout diminishes within first six months, but you are forgetting, that its particles stay in objects such as trees, buildings, even ground - in essense making the are infertile. Enough bombs would cause nuclear winter. Small amount would still kill majority of population as infrastructure, agriculture and health care would collapse.

I read an article in which it was said that many animals were restored in Chernobyl, which scientists considered extinct. Not radiation destroys nature, but man.
But I have a hope that there will not be a third world war

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rebuild after a few years and hundreds of thousands of people are living there now. It seems like the radiation lasted only a few months, or years. And in Chernobyl, the blast radius was quite small. I really doubt whether it was greater than 100 meters. But the radiation was more spread-out. It even caused a spike in cancer incidence in the Scandinavia.

You cited the example of Japanese cities, which at one time covered and nuclear bomb. Can you imagine what if the Japanese at that time had something to do with the Americans? If the answer were the same rockets, what would happen to the world then?

It is not scientifically proven. The growth of oncological diseases in Scandinavia could be associated with the secret disaster of some nuclear submarine or something. Even in Ukraine there is no data reliably supporting the heavy after effects of radiation. The growth of Oncology was only after the accident due to direct exposure.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki could be rebuild, because all the rubble - which was radioactive, was removed. Those devastating atoms bind themselves to any sort of matter, so while you are right - air is poisonous for a few months, buildings and environment will stay so for many years.

Even after one month in shelter, single day of exposure would sterilize you. And make you lose your body hair.

Nuclear winter is also not a science-fiction. Large volcano eruptions are able to force regional climate cooling, enough nukes would block out sun for years globally - killing fauna a flora even in the areas unscathed by explosions and dropping temperature by as much as 15 degrees celsius.

You paint a picture of the Apocalypse, but scientific confirmation of this. No one really knows how the radiation from the explosion. Maybe it's fake scientists to anybody in a head has not come to use nuclear weapons.

It has been scientifically proven. In addition to all those who died as a result of burn injuries in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, many tens of thousands died later as a result of exposure to radiation. Also, there was a sharp increase in the incidence of cancer.

No one disputes these effects, but they are very small even in Japan, not to mention the world. Who in the world have noticed the effects of nuclear testing at the nuclear test sites of the countries with nuclear weapons. So I don't really believe in nuclear winter.

We won't really know for sure unless we're already in one. And the scale of radiation won't even be close to that of hiroshima or nagasaki in case we indeed are plunged into nuclear warfare. One or two nukes can flatten an entire town with radiation effecting surrounding areas, imagine how a full scale nuclear war would look like when it comes to the destruction it will wreak.

Actually yes, the person before you disputed those facts. Sithara rekted him.

"Artifical" winter already happened in Earth history, it is just matter of volume. Meteor, that ended reign of dinosaurs also didnt kill them overnight (atleast not those in the vicinity of several hundreds of kilometres or near shores). Massive firestorms that swallowed up both fauna and flora in the days after the fall created enough debris to block out sun for many years. Even oceanic creatures then started to die enbloc.

Much smaller Toba volcano explosion nearly exterminated humankind - likewise it happened in great distance from cradle of humanity but significant global cooling put a rift into enviromental stablity needed for development of species.

Yes, I agree with that.
Could not have been a 3rd world war.
Because there is already a United Nations that keeps the world safe in the agreement of all countries.
If there is a world war 3 the world will doomsday we know itself the danger of nuclear for all people.

The United Nations is a toothless body, which is incapable of preventing any war on a global scale. The veto power for the super-powers is one of the reasons for its ineffectiveness. I can understand the Veto power for Russia, US and China. But what about the UK and France? They are not even among the top 10 military powers to deserve the veto.

The great powers that were the victors of World War II—the Soviet Union (now represented by Russia), the United Kingdom, France, Republic of China (now represented by the People's Republic of China), and the United States—serve as the body's five permanent members.

The most contentious issue at Dumbarton and in successive talks proved to be the veto rights of permanent members. The Soviet delegation argued that each nation should have an absolute veto that could block matters from even being discussed, while the British argued that nations should not be able to veto resolutions on disputes to which they were a party. At the Yalta Conference of February 1945, the American, British, and Russian delegations agreed that each of the "Big Five" could veto any action by the council, but not procedural resolutions, meaning that the permanent members could not prevent debate on a resolution.

You could argue though, that United Nations is a place for providing a levelled playing field for various states, not to prevent global war. Nukes are much better detterent in this regard.

I must confess that I didn't follow the 'regular' news a lot lately so I might be wrong but is it just me or did these tentions between North Korea, Russia, China and USA kind off ended? There are tentions/problems in the Middle East (lol, when isn't there, right?) with the Dubai/Qatar thing but not much news on the bigger (potential WW3) conflict.

Our politicians of the moron will play to the point that the military will be firing to the right and left with all available weapons. Destroy the earth to hell and we will not be saved. It seems to me that the Third World War is just around the corner and we will see what kind of trouble we will bring ourselves to our home.

some people say that we are already on it, but i think it would have to do with internet

It is turning out just like that. Iraq, Syria and Libya were invaded and none of these nations had nuclear weapons. The Americans don't have the balls to invade Iran and DPRK, because these nations are capable of producing nuclear weapons.

i think that world war 3 started with the necesity of petroleum of the main countries.

Albert Einstein once said "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones".There is no matter who will use nuke weapons or who will "win".There is no winner in a war.We are manipulated by the government and the superiors there is no meaning doing a war.

During the WW2, the Americans were able to nuke Japan and go scot free because at that point of time Japan didn't had any nukes. But times have changed. Right now, almost a dozen different nations are having nuclear weapons in their possession. If anyone of them attack another nuclear nation, then that would mean the end of life in this planet.

Unlikely, sir. Prices are actually down with fracking, new deposits in arctic by Russia and lifting of iranian embargo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_of_oil#/media/File:Brent_Spot_monthly.svg

Because of oversupply and lack of agreements between oil-producing countries members of the OPEC (Saudi Arabia in particular, which pumped at world's records) and also because of lack of coordinated efforts between OPEC and Non-OPEC countries (Russian being a big player, refusing to reduce production) the price of oil fell rapidly in 2015 and continued to slide in 2016 causing the cost of WTI crude to fall to a 10-year low of $26.55 on January 20. The average price of oil in January 2016 was well below $35. Oil did not recover until April 2016, when oil went above the $45 mark.

Countries have been continuously fighting over territories especially those who have oil deposits. They fight for the ownership of it even though it is very far away from them and won't let other country to take over them. Like, you already have resources in your country to begin with so, why do you still want to take other's territories? Just for the things that you can get from it? And after maximizing the things that you can get from it you will leave them afterwards? World War III is really possible if there are countries that will still be continuously greedy of other country's territories.

Perhaps it is all about the cost of extraction. In some countries, it cost as less as $2 per barrel to extract crude oil. But in countries such as the United States and Venezuela, the cost can be as high as $60 per barrel.

It seems to me that Despite the fact that the reserves of carbohydrates on the planet are decreasing, it really can begin today because of energy resources. Perhaps in order to avoid the 3rd world war because of the energy potential of other countries for which they will fight, it is possible that in order to start mastering other possibilities and alternative sources of energy. Perhaps this is the very chance to save the world and people.

The only way WW3 would happen is if people don't smarten up and start using better more renewable and cleaner technology we need to stop our dependence on oil and fossil fuel, we need to focus on getting clean water and food to the world over. We have the tech we have the resources the only reason we don't do this right now today is because a bunch of old farts want to cling on to everything they have and don't want their already dead inhumane and unrealistic industries to fade out (which should have happened more than 50 years ago).

But if that doesn't happen and we stay on the same BS course were on now and people stay ignorant then in the next 50 years there will be war over clean water for sure and if that happens then..... well I don't even want to think of that reality.

would love to experience world war... ;D

Yeah sure... and it is going to be your last experience as well. If the war doesn't kills you, then the economic collapse which will follow is definitely going to destroy you. After the WW2, it took almost 2 decades for the global economy to get stabilized.

Indeed! People who love to experience a world war is because they playing too many videogames xD. On second thought, I am sure that no one with a brain wanted to experience what a world war is like.

I will also be confident with that, still many world leaders understand the dangers of its nuclear. Hopefully ww3 will never happen.

I also hope that there will be no war. Maybe there will be local wars, but they will not cover the whole world.
All countries understand that war will lead to great destruction. I hope that understanding this will deter everyone from aggression

The war is already underway. You just don't get it. People have strong stereotypes about war films about the second world war. Modern world war are other ways. Only if you do not pay attention to this war has gradually spread to new countries. The migrant crisis is also part of the war.

Not going to allow nukes? If war breaks out, who's to say which weapon would be allowed or not? Of course countries who have access to nukes would use that capability to their advantage. That's why i think a third word war would be more devastating than the two other world wars combined. If leaders would end up nuking each other out, we probably won't survive to see the end of it.

north korea still making a perfect nuclear weapon then if they have a many nuclear they ready to go for world war 3. I think they have a plan to nuke USA and start a world war 3.

I am 99.99% sure that if someone is using a nuclear weapon again, it is going to be the United States. Ever since the nuclear weapons were first manufactured, only the United States has used them against the civilian population (in 1945, against Japan). Even in the future, they are going to be the only ones who are going to use this sort of weapons.

i hope this will not happen in the future , what will happen to the world when world war 3 erupts , many people will surely be killed , and most of that is innocents one..using such weapon like nuclear will destroy all humanity , many countries today is armed with nuclear weapons , number one is the USA  we all know how powerful is the USA , also the north korea has nuclear weapon ,i hope that world war 3 will not occured.

Well yes but that's because it was the new technology at the time and they were the first ones to use it, and they've used it to show the power and destruction nuclear bombs can bring. Someone was bound to use it at some time and the US was the first.

If someone does not remember I remind you that the application of the Americans nuclear bombing of Japan stopped the second world war. Japan was an ally of Nazi Germany. Nuclear weapons have killed many people, but perhaps more lives it saved. If not that then maybe the bombing would have been 3 and 4 world war.

Is nuclear ground to find out who should win the world war 3? Can this weapon take so many nations? If nuclear is just the basis of the people who will win, how does the country without it. How can they fight if they do not have this weapon?

we are testing it in the Middle East. people are losing their lives. supremacy for all of this. it's only money.  >:(

Japan being an ally of the Nazis doesn't give you the right to nuke that country and massacre 300,000 people. There was no point in bombing Japan at a time, when that country was preparing to surrender. The Americans wanted to quickly occupy Japan before the Russians and that was the real reason why they nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

England has a complete right, as well as any other country in the world, on defence of the independence. And that, what methods they will apply in case of attacking England, it is exceptional their business.
I support them fully.

I do not know which country will start using nuclear, but if one of them starts daring to launch nuclear, then another country will fight with nuclear. If that happens, it is certain that the world will not be saved, the earth will be destroyed in its destruction.

You are all talking about nuclear weapons, I believe world war 3 is already happening, it's a cyber war!

Who will be crazy enough to start a nuclear war? Even Donald Trump is not crazy enough to do that. Kim Jong Un is the only one who may be mad enough to think about launching the nukes, but I don't think that he has the balls to order a nuclear strike.

nuke is last choice in a war, the world already knew and understood about destructive result caused by nuke bomb. World has changed, there will be no nuclear war unless some people are stupid enough to kill this planet.
 But yeah i dont know what will happen tomorrow. Hey wait, why they want to go war?

I think Russia Will Use Nukes but not very soon, after sanctions will dry them full. :-* 

It seems to me that today people are very active in discussing the possibility of a third world war and, first of all, link this event with the leaders of countries that are practically leading the world's politics, including totalitarian countries like North Korea, China or Russia too. Such countries as Iran can not be rejected either, even the series can be a stumbling block with the help of which the worldwide grief can erupt.

everyone should to have nuclear weapon but no one wont use it cuse it stupid

USA will use nukes, i know how they think and act.

if world war 3 starts and somebody uses their nukes against enemies.
then i dont know what would stop them anymore...
it will create chain effect that even those small countries without new capability will be affected...
:D

China will win the war againts everybody!

I don't think so. Russia has reduced the number of nuclear weapons in its possession ever since the disintegration of the USSR in 1992, and they have never threatened to nuke any one since then. And the sanctions are having very little impact on the Russian economy. It was the falling crude prices which hit them hard. But even then, the Russian economy has done pretty well.

This right for England. The territories need to be protected by all means. The third world war goes already, she actually hybrid. I do not think that who - that will be at war with whom - that in usual to us all understanding of word war.

Maybe. What if it happens in a 100 years? I bet the weapons people will use most commonly is a laser pistol which fires a bolt of plasma that explodes on impact and sets the enemy on fire. It'll also probably have a barrel made of a super heat-resistent material and very hard and tough material to make the gun work well for a long time. And maybe fire-swords will be used as melee weapons. Maybe they'll also make bayonets which is the largened laser pistol, with a fire-sword attached to it.

I hope nobody of us doesn't want world war 3.

It seems that the country you are voting when pressed to use their last combat tool that is nuclear power, could threaten the life of the world on the verge of collapse when the third world war occurs

World war III will happen if the crisis with the states leaders will not be resolved. Some high power country may use nuclear weapon that can destroy a certain place or country. If this happen, many civilians may be involved in this fight. I hope this will not happen because it can harm many people.

Well if countries start disagreeing with eachother then its most likely possible for world war 3 to happen and they will probably start launching nukes right after the other, destroying countries and killing their kind for the trivial purpose of winning. Countries that havent got anything to do with the dispute will be affected as the existence of humans start to gradually deplete in numbers. Nukes are specifically made for that reason. We'll be extinct right after the war and the planet would be a desolate place with high levels of radiation.

The stock markets around the world are bleeding. Investors have lost as much as $1 trillion in a span of 3 days. Defense analysts claim that now there is a real chance of a physical confrontation between the North Korea and the United States. And some say that this confrontation can escalate in to a full-blown nuclear warfare between the two nations.

Scary thought. Considering that a nuclear war between any two nation would not only affect them, but most of us in general. China should probably step up in making north korea realize that in the even of a full blown war, they're not going to survive the us. They're just going to drag a lot of innocent people with them

what kind of voting are you talking about?
No war at all should not be, who needs it. To live has bothered or what? There was a war, that's what you need to do the results, not vote, do not talk about it at all(((

i hope no onewill be able to do that is a loosing situatuion for all, all around the world will be affected and much more the economy ! lets keep peaceful

Iin the eventuality of the 3'th world war nobody will be in advantage. You propoused a scene with several countrys who holdes nuke technology, i suppose it will be with machinez or aliens, something like that. The horrors of the second world war are stull in our memories so i dont think that someone would start a nuke war.

My opinion, this could happen and not happen, depends on the leaders around the world countries,
if all countries in the world can reduce hatred of neighboring countries, for example, state leaders sit together to discuss how to tackle the ongoing problems, help each other, work together, give each other the resources needed by neighboring countries. I think it will be very difficult for our country's leaders to do so. But we as citizens of our country support all the positive things that our country will do, such as how to fight natural disasters, hunger, poverty, homelessness, abuse of narcotics, and others.

I don't think that China is going to step in, at least not directly. Unlike the Korean war (1950-53), I don't think that China is going to send its soldiers to the DPRK this time. At the most, they may help the North Koreans with arms, ammunition and medical supplies. The same with Russia as well. The Russian help will also be limited to arms and ammunition. 

The Chinese are very cautious people. I do not think that they will send their soldiers to the DPRK, because it can sever economic ties with the United States. And the Russians will not, they do not have the resources for this.

World war 3 is pretty scary. As we have known about WW1 and WW2, having a world war 3 is very frightening. World war 3 might not only for some countries, but I think all countries will be involved. Many powerful weapons and ammunitions are being made today. Others are nuclear weapons. It is so frightening to have world war 3. Let us pray that it will not happen.

Trump can't start world war III. Because he is just a puppet.

I agree. If one country starts using nuclear weapons then all the other countries would use it at the same time. Nuclear war would be very devastating. Noone will know what will become of humanity after which.

Basically countries now know more about wars and kind of weapon so that most of them will not start  new war

if war start will be between Super-power country (mainly USA , RU) and third world countries (Syria , NK)

The third world war will be the bloody world war and america will be main cause of this because america interference in many countries for their selfishness. America play role like paracite for other country. so the main cause of third world war will be America.

It's not.going to be caused by a single nation's actions. Yeah america sees itself as a major enforcer of international laws nd is self righteous at times, they have in a way, the right because of their strength. Tensions are escalating everywhere that can lead to war though strong countries like the US, china and russia can avoid a world war by being composed and its leaders not making any rash moves

If a goverment decide to use nukes it will not finish a war. Too many countries has nuke power and this will start a nuke war which is not a good idea.
I hope this will never happen.

I don't know which country would be the first to use a nuclear weapon but I imagine if some country was beginning to lose the war they would use it as a last alternative to defeat. I think any country would like to be the first to use them, unless their leader is an idiot or insane but I can see them being used as a last resort if no other options are possible.

I think the 1st country would be  the first to use a nuclear is china .
China is powerful country that have a nuclear missile but i hope there is no coming world war III.the whole world is ruins.

This is a basic case of whose got the farthest piss.

Everyone just wants to be superior than the other. With America being entitled as the 'world police', yet acting so arrogant, it's no wonder than other nations are bound to show off their weaponry.

I do know that it'd take a decade or so before someone (is someone) declares a war, there's just too many problems for every country right now.

I do not even want to hear the word "war"!!(( And if they use nuclear weapons, then all, the end half of the world will be completely destroyed, And to whom will they do well? No one! and how many civilians will die((

You can not control those powerful countries to use nuclear weapons on war, it is their only key to defeat their enemies, we are all dead if this is gonna happen

World War 3 will be the end for us, the use of nuclear weapons is inevitable, when all countries will use nuclear weapons and when the earth is full of radioactive we will die. so we have to keep peace and reduce nuclear weapon.
