Poll: whose starting WW3 people?

[Trillovinum]

I just can't imagine WWIII when the US has nuclear weapons. Sure, there will be small conflicts, but the big ones are forever off the table.

Also, I would have voted for EU versus the Balkan States. Why is the only European country the UK, and why in the world would they start a world war with Argentina? Is that a soccer thing or something?

Probably a reminder of the Falklands war... but i admit it is a pretty stupid joke...

Though I'd have to go with multiple options here...

North and south Korea, though they probably won't go into a 'world' war.

Pakistan and India, because of their long standing animosity and both sides possessing nuclear weapons.

and America and Iran because of the Iranian efforts to attain nuclear weapons
(even if this isn't true (I'm not giving my opinion here) the U.S. might still go in, after what they did in Iraq)

 

[Hanzo Hattori]

Australia vs. Austria.

That'd confuse a lot of people actually hehe.

Expect soldiers mounted on kangaroos crossing the mountains of the alps while yodelling snipers in traditional clothing wait for them .

 

[mrmostlymittens]

Luxembourg vs. Andorra

I have a feeling it'll start small.

I say smaller. Vatican City vs Monaco. My guess is the Pope starts wrecking Monaco's shit, and from there it escalates into one mass-world brawl.

You got the joke. Then bet me to the "one upper". I remove my hat to you, sir.

 

[dark-mortality]

Pff, isn't it obvious? Norway VS Sweden of course is how it all starts!

 

[DanielDeFig]

My traditional answer would be North Korea Vs. anyone. Why? They're kinda batshit crazy, and (as far as I understand) they have nuclear weapons.

But a new contender has risen up. Israel.
While some of the things the Israeli states does (I will speak only of the state decisions, as I have rally only met nice people from Israel), does lean on the "crazy" side, it's never been as bad as North Korea. But the Arab uprising has caused the ousting of Arab leaders who had sworn behind locked doors to not oppose Israel, in exchange for no-one opposing their decades-long rules. With them gone, and the US not giving Israel as much support as usual, they're soon going to feel cornered and alone, but still in possession of top-grade military hardware and trained army (along with a foreign policy that kinda goes as follows: "our state I based on Judaism, which is incompatible with Islam. We hate all states based on that religion, as we know they hate us.")

Well, hopefully it won't happen.

Personally I can see India and Pakistan coming to blows though, at which point other nations might be drawn into conflict. Not sure it'd be a world war, but certainly not a lot of fun.

 

[AnotherAvatar]

If things continue as they are I put all the odds on America starting WWIII, and their opponents might just be the countries poverty stricken citizens based on all the protests against the financial institutions that back the country's rather large army.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I'm going to say israel vs turkey when turkey will be part of the EU.(hope it never happens) Some countries in the EU will defend turkey and America will ofc defend Israel. After a time it will be USA vs EU.

USA vs EU? Highly unlikely.

OT: Next war is going to be with the insidious alien menace of course, though that wouldn't technically be World War Three; it would be a Worlds War!

 

[Dandark]

Totally America. They have been all but begging for a war. It's like after WWII they thought they needed to prove themselves or something, first they have that cold war against Russia which would of been WWIII if not for the threat of nukes, then they have this whole big war against Vietnam which they ended up losing.
They are still trying to be the world police and if anyone is going to start a war, I see it as either them or one of the fanatic countries like Iran.

 

[Khada]

America vs Other because when the goal is simply WW3, "Other" is whoever will start it with you.

That said, my money is on Syria, with Russian backing.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

U.S. V China.
"I don't want to set the world on fire..."

 

[Irriduccibilli]

Where is the option for Germany vs. Something random? I just have this feeling that Germany will be involved

Tried twice, why not try again. Third time's the charm right?

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

WBC and the KKK

i wanna watch them to kill each other

Who is WBC?
To me that means Wildbean Cafe haha Or World Barista Championship.

It stands for the infamous Westboro Baptist Church. Those bunch of lunatics.

 

[exessmirror]

it has been proven that south korea will roll bad korea before america even has the chance to bring their carriers

 

[SFMB]

WW3 will start in Africa, when two tribes grow too big and start to assimilate smaller ones. War will sweep across the continent, millions dead and raped. Nobody in the civilized world gives a shit, just contain it in Africa.

 

[cynicalandbored]

I'll start it. For all you know I'm in the process of developing a nuclear capacity. I may have a dirty bomb already. And I could mean to use it. For all you know... Yes.

Honestly though, Israel and someone else, if it comes to it. I find the UK/Argentina option vaguely laughable. The UK's stretched as it is with Afghanistan, Iraq and its operations in Libya. They've already admitted they'd struggle if Argentina decided to seize the Falklands. And I doubt anyone's willing to start international nuclear war over some relatively useless islands. Besides, the Argentinian constitution now states that any invasion of the Falklands is unconstitutional. And they'd have no backup in the fight if it came down to it, cos nobody else really cares.

 

[Rapamaha]

North Korea & South Korea and ofcourse U.S will be involved, maybe china too

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I don't know, therefore aliens.

No reason WW3 can also be the War of the Worlds.

'Cause we got no reason to. The political system won't allow any one person to seize total control, and there's no irrationally lopsided treaty to piss off the German people at large.

OT:
Whoever's first to run out of a crucial natural resource. As much as politics and religion remain vehicles of hatred, I believe the next world war will be driven by materialistic motivations. Already countries are being invaded because of their oil fields; imagine what'll happen when someone with real military power gets close to running out of drinking water.
