Okay, that WW3 hypothesis was a load of crap

It's actually more likely than you think...Israel is drowning in an unwarranted fear of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, and China...well I can't get too deep into the shit with China, but they've been saying for a long time that they want Taiwan back. China isn't the nation to think in terms of the next year, but the next ten years. Really all they need to do is send the American economy into a nose dive out of the ugly tree and they'll stand a chance. When they say they want something, they keep their word.

Will it happen in 2030? More likely in the next decade.

Seems like a good time to move to the Southern Hemisphere...

China may attempt to take Taiwan back, but it's unlikely that will start a World War. The US is in decline and will not have the power to intervene and challenge China by force. China is not as interested in conflict as most people seem to think anyway.

It is quite likely Israel will attack Iran before they obtain a nuclear device, but again, it's unlikely this will cause a World War. Israel can handle Iran by themselves, albeit with generous US military aid. If they don't invade first, I still think it's doubtful that Iran would use a nuclear device. They just want to increase their own security and intimidate. Nevertheless, the world would be a much better place without Iranian nukes.

The claim that North Korea will invade South Korea is the most bullshit. Such a war would destroy North Korea.

So basically, a third world war is unlikely because it would need to involve the US, who are on the way out as the World's only hyperpower.

I'll help the future by not being a part of it. Deal?

 

[Caveman Ninja]

You're opting out?

 

[Ocelot2010]

We have troops stationed in Taiwan, and China's on the prowl looking for more natural resources. China invades Taiwan, they attack the US as well, which is also an attack on NATO.

The Iran situation, the American public will always clamor for the side of Israel to take on Iran, the UK is already prepping for a possible attack upon Iran.

Aaaaw man! Ocelot's cheating!



Also, this.

 

[Ocelot2010]

How am I cheating? lol

 

[D.Ingram]

You're opting out?

Yup.

 

[Keenan]

How am I cheating? lol

You have insider information! You're like the guy that spoils the ending of the movie for the people next to you because you read it on wikipedia.

 

[Ocelot2010]

Everything I've stated comes from open sources.

 

[Keenan]

.................. Oh.

 

[Covet Chaos]

Yup.

Ditto. I wouldn't be allowed to join the forces anyway. Sorted

 

[D.Ingram]

No, I mean I won't be a part of the future in general. SImple solution, no?

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Problem is you will be forced to be a part of it, like it or not.

 

[Snyde]

How 'bout suicide brah?

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Suicide may work for the weak minded if they can find no other way out. There's not much we can do if a war breaks out, catastrophic events happen like possible cyber attacks, nuclear war, famine, meteorites, earthquake, climate change, disease, radiation, etc..

 

[Keenan]

Again, I say Fallout.
