What is world war three started?

As an old soldier, I would probably fight again if I could find a weapon and ammo. Quick thinking by President Kennedy and his brother Robert averted WWIII and it is my prayer that level heads will prevail and our present and future President won't have that situation to deal with ever again. If it came to nuclear war, a person wouldn't want to be around later anyway.

I'd definitely build a shelter and hide away. I don't see the point it wars, it's all needless killing because people either want more land / money / oil, or because they disagree with a certain person. I mean come on - BIG DEAL. Not EVERYONE is supposed to get on with everyone else in the world.

United States Army Veteran here. I would re-enlist, and go where I was needed. No use in hiding. Only a select few are important to get into the nuclear shelters anyways. I think soldiers are important, they always have been and they always will be. Countries go to war all the time, and not all feel the need to use nuclear weapons, though they might have them. I'm no hero or anything, and know I wouldn't be saving the world, but there's no use in cowering away either.

It is true that if nuclear war is in place, troops are not that meaningful. But then, the chance of such a war is rather low because no countries would want to initiate such a war as it surely will suffer most. Just take a look at how US has fought the war against Iraq and you can see how valuable the troops are comparing to the mass destruction weapons. Back to the topic of world war three. Will it ever come? I have no idea but I don't think I will live to see it happen. Having such a war requires a nation that is so strong and aggressive at the same time where it attacked some other countries with strong allies for something valuable. So, the question is, which country is powerful and aggressive at the same time? Even if there is one, which country with strong allies they are going to attack? And for what? I have no answers for these questions and thus I don't think world war 3 will happen soon. There can be wars between countries from time to time but that is of smaller scale. Of course, the best would be there are simply no wars at all.

i don't think the world war three will one day happen, because people now are enjoying their life. they all want to live a peaceful life. back to the topic, if the war really breaks out, i would be the fighter who will protect our country, even though i maybe of nothing, but i think i will try and contribute even a little to my country. even i maybe die in the end, i think it is worthwhile, because i fulfill my obligation as a citizen.

Well, just hiding is never a solution. Moreover, whatever may be the destructing ability of the today`s bombs, a soldier is always of the foremost value. By the way, you need soldiers to push the buttons, design strategies and fly the fighter jets.

I have never thought about this horrible situation and hopefully it never comes true.

Oh no no no. I don't even want to think about it. That's going to be really scary.

Hmm. I would fight for my country, if I feel that we are fighting for independence and if we are being oppressed. But if we are the oppressor, well that's a different thing altogether. I sure hope that WW3 won't ever happen, cause I think all the countries now have matured in terms of fighting ( I think. LOL) .. So I hope that this won't ever happen in my lifetime, or the lifetime of my children, and my children's children. =)

I wish it will not happen...

Since you started this, I'm thinking of going back to my hometown and start digging a secret tunnel for my family. :-p I will not stand up and fight because I know I won't be able to help that much. Let's just hope that this will never ever happen!

i would probably flee the country and go somewhere that is not involved in the war.

If world war three starts it doesn't matter where you hide or what you do. the whole mankind will die.

i will fight for my country still my last drop of blood and i will not harm any other country.i want the third world war to start. because we are backward in technology and the war should be in technology and in the different ways to save our earth but not by harm the earth with all kind of bombs. its a place to live not for war

I will definitely fight till the last to protect my country and my race. As regards nuclear bombs, hardly 10 countries have the nuclear bomb. There might be many countries having the technology to make a nuke, but delivering it is another matter.So only smaller countries will get destroyed and big countries (in size) will survey the nuclear hollocaust. So these countries need the soldier to protect them in the future.

Hi Toonvk! Have you heard of the doomsday clock - It's a pictorial representation of how close we are to a nuclear war. Currently the hands are a 5 to 12 - we are closer to the possibilty of a global thermal nuclear exchange than we have ever been in history. If you made it to a shelter - you'd need a least 50 years minimum with clean food and water - surviving out in the open would be impossible. one soldier does mean something but with military tech heading towards gunnery bots/tanks/planes etc - most soldiers would effectively become pilots! Someone said that it would take at least 1000 bombs to destroy India- it would take around fifty to a hundred to completely make it a smouldering crater, its not the initial blast its the levels of radiation. The US and Russsia have enough nukes to cover the surface of the populated earth twice over! this doesn't include The EU, Israel, China, etc. It's difficult to prove the data when each country is very secretive about it's nukes. The real threat is the possibilty that a someone would detonate a portable nuke on someone elses soil(Russia LOST some in the 90's) - if there was no missle launch no-one would know who had done it. It is very unlikely that a terrorist organisation would use a nuke - it would unify the world in hunting them down.

Sadly, my country almost certainly would be involved. I suppose I'd take the kids up to my moth-in-law's place in Grass Valley. She's somewhat isolated, got a bit of land and a well. I'm too dang old and out of shape to do any fighting myself, and you're right, if it were a nuclear war, what would be the point?

I express the same feeling of user who replied first to this discussion. Couldn't even think off such a thing. looks to be very cruel. So we can always think that it will never happen. World war will not start because of India. Atleast that is what I believe. War mongering countries like China and US will indulge in war. And India's entry into war can decide the side which will win. China much interested with Pakistan relation, as well as with Srilanka and doing small small benefits for all the countries which are around India. Don't know why these things are happening. But I wish, it should never happen. if it happened, as you said, that will be the end too.

oh, no no it is horrified, the people have no such this great conflict each other contry, what interest can make them so mad and so extremely to solve this problem,the people develop such speed like that and make a great treasures whatever the spirit treasures or the substance treasures, the people have no motive power to struggle each other,other sode of such this thing, the people are getting close each other through the economical or culture communication, and getting know each other, the small scale of the world wide can break out the small war, not just like the world war three, just like the terrorist organizations such as the taliban ect.and some countries can break out some conflict like the palestation and isreal, because of the territory of conflict,because of the rich of the countries, the people do not like war at all, they are like to live easy and cozy and not beat battle like war, such this like many developed countries, they are more like the cozy too. what the people make a war for, what motivation they do for?

Hi, If the third world war get started,If my country is involved.I would be part of the war.I would like kill my enemies and save the Innocent people and feel them safe and secure in my country.I will carry a lot of weapons to kill those terriorists.Jai hind!!
