World War 3???

[porkleg1]

Sounds crazy but...

Both World War 1 and 2 began by a series of events which strengthened political tension - until one country decided to invade another.

In the past decade, conflict and violence has been spreading through many countries such as (Israel, Palestine, Russia, Ukraine, Libya, Syria, Iraq and Iran), and with basically all major powers suffering economic instability, global conflict seems to be just around the corner.

There are also major world powers such as Russia, presenting the world with pro-war beliefs. Vladimir Putin is a firm advocate for a "New World Order", which he believes can only be achieved through force.

Furthermore, we have ISIS spreading terror over the Western World:

- October 2014 - Muslim convert killed a soldier, then stormed Canada's Parliament. (CANADA)
- December 2014 - ISIS gunman took 17 as hostage in Sydney Cafe. (AUSTRALIA)
- November 2015 - Co-ordinated attacks across central Paris. (FRANCE)

Quite recently, a Russian jet was gunned down by Turkish ground forces, sprouting further tension as Turkey is part of the NATO alliance.

What do you think . . . Will there be a third World War?

When you spell out the recent events like that, it makes WW3 look like a real possibility. Although what the Communist countries and the Democratic countries need to understand is that the real enemy is ISIS.

If WW3 becomes a reality, it should be a war on terror, not the cold war all over again.

Geez. Layed out like that - this all looks SCARY!

I just hope the world leaders can show some common sense and find a way to maintain stability without conflict.

I'd say... I think there might be a war, although I dont want it.
