I would go with North Korea v. South Korea. North Korea is such a background country and they need to stop with the whole isolating themselves from the world and learn to open up to everyone.
Not really inexplicable is it? It was made from stolen land at the end of world war 2, and since then they've broken most every rule the UN has but the US keep bailing them out veto style. They forge UK passports to conduct killings around the world, they invade sovereign nations with no reason then just retreat, they claim half the middle east as theirs by divine mandate. I can see why they are slightly disliked.lacktheknack said:America versus South Korea? What?
I think it'll be Israel vs. Everyone Else. They have some allies, but they have an inexplicable amount of hate aimed at them as well.
I'm NOT getting into a war for Israel here, but they didn't just steal the land. The UN offered it to them. And the alternative was expelling hundreds of thousands of Jews from Palestine, as opposed to hundreds of thousands of Arabs. It's called a "lose lose scenario".cookyy2k said:Not really inexplicable is it?

Actually at the time of WWI the economies in Europe all had close links and were all to some extent inter reliant on each other, yet that didn't stop the war from happening.Do4600 said:I don't think WW III will start because we're too interconnected and our populations depend too heavily on each other.
Vatican City vs Monaco, but guessing reason will be Albert II stealing the pop's hat during a party. You know how it goes.. people always want to try out the hat (cause it's so tall, you know?), it gets passed around, and then suddenly, no one knows where it is, because Albert went outside an put it in his car when no one was looking. That guy is always up to no good.Andy Shandy said: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.Berethond said:Luxembourg vs. Andorra
I have a feeling it'll start small.
The world population has more than tripled since 1917 and with it the need for resources, I really don't think we have as much wiggle room in our economics and resource transfers as we did back in 1917.Vault Citizen said:Actually at the time of WWI the economies in Europe all had close links and were all to some extent inter reliant on each other, yet that didn't stop the war from happening.Do4600 said:I don't think WW III will start because we're too interconnected and our populations depend too heavily on each other.
You seem to have been mistaken about when WWI started so I fixed it for you (unless you did mean when America entered the war and didn't just think that it actually started then also, in which case my apologies)Do4600 said:The world population has more than tripled since 1917 and with it the need for resources, I really don't think we have as much wiggle room in our economics and resource transfers as we did back in 1914.Vault Citizen said:Actually at the time of WWI the economies in Europe all had close links and were all to some extent inter reliant on each other, yet that didn't stop the war from happening.Do4600 said:I don't think WW III will start because we're too interconnected and our populations depend too heavily on each other.
This statement is fact. The wars of the modern age are wars of deterrence. Nobody wants to start an all-out war with someone at risk of triggering a global nuclear battle. Such an event would destroy Earth's atmosphere, and scar modern culture and society.King_1 said:What a stupid thread.
No one will start WW3 because of the existence of nuclear missiles.
What? China is even more reliant on the US than vice versa.thespyisdead said:i said america vs china, but in reality it should be the other way around, because chine will some day get pissed about the american "fuck that" attitude toward it's 100 trillion dollar loan.
Nah. Over the past hundred years, we've only known Germany to be a wholly peaceful and loving nation. [/sarcasm]Dooblet said:Where is the option for Germany vs. Something random? I just have this feeling that Germany will be involved
