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?
You're worried about us? Have you seen the other people with nukes? Apart from France they're a pretty unsavory and aggressive lot.
The notion that there will never be another big war is too hopeful. There is always another brewing and it's always worse than the last.
"Oh it'll be economic or political and that's it."
...Uhhhh what did you think the other wars were? Fun vacations for rowdy young men? Economics and politics always cause one group or another to butt heads eventually, and then they call their friends for help and it all becomes a Wild West Saloon minus a piano player.
I'd have to guess it would be in the Middle East, and the US would get drawn into the mess. I don't think it would be America vs. China. Sometimes I wonder, even hope (yeah sick I know) for that, but I think we're too involved economically. I believe China's biggest threat is going to come from their own pissed off people. If anything they might even end up on our side. Russia? Mmmmmmm maybe. Probably end up with whoever can benefit them the most one way or the other.
I'd have to guess it would be Israel vs. Someone, or Pakistan vs. someone then the US gets involved.
