do you think that a third world war will take place?
do you think that a third world war will take place?
considering the current state of the world and things like the resurgence of fascism and other authoritarian ideologies, do you think there is still a chance to avoid a new world war or now is unavoidable?
Probably, yeah. I don't forsee a WW3 not happening eventually; I just hope it's not in our lifetime.
Just postpone it to 2077
You know it's bad when far right extremism is on the rise again in Germany...
And who will they pick to fight? The World!
A Norm reference made this much less depressing, thank you.
Third time's the charm! /s
considering we have a record of over 6000 years of overlapping armed conflicts and wars, yes absolutely.
there has not been a single worldwide peaceful day for thousands of years.
it's not 100% sure the ones currently going on will be called world wars. maybe it will be a new one. there's always another war, unfortunately.
It started in 2014 so yeah. We are just not yet to a point where America gets directly involved. We are doing the lend lease thing again.
Came here to say the same thing. Both US and EU: "this is not real, this is not a real war".
In their delusion, are helping Ukraine, but it's a half-ass help. How should a war look to be called a war? Tanks, Aircraft, ships, 1000km trench warfare, ballistic missiles - is that a war?Proxy war != world war
It's always avoidable. It's also still quite possible
I thought this was an interesting perspective:
The biggest issue is extremism on both sides of the political spectrum. Division and hate are extremely easy to stoke and the left is at least as complicit. Unless people change their mindset to and remove the barriers they put up between people, conflict will be inevitable.
The right: "I think we should deport anyone with brown skin, incarcerate the LGBT community until they learn to stay closeted, execute black people without trial and force raped children to give birth, all the while gutting environmental protections, welfare and anything else that might cost my rich friends money"
The left: "Then you're a cunt"
You: Both sides so divisive!
Damn those libs, fighting for the right to live and love!
Excellent example
Can you describe the extremism left of spectrum?
Honest question, not JAQing off, and I won't jump down your throat no matter what you say.
Hmmm can you describe the extremism of the right? Perhaps you'd characterise it by racism, violence, and repression of certain people?
The hard left wants exactly the same thing, with the same violent methods, just slightly changed racism and repression.

Umm... What?
Not so long as nuclear weapons exist. I don't think any country is reckless enough to risk a nuclear exchange, and that won't change until the stress from climate change changes the math.
Climate change is there though. It's not yet reached the "death by the millions" point, but that point being inevitable now, a nation could start thinking about the potential benefits from being the first to strike.
We're already in it. There are currently 57 conflicts in the world, of which several are international. Things will escalate. World tension is rising, the far right is on the rise, it's the 1930's all over again. Or at least, in some parts of the world. In other parts it's already the 1940's, with totalitarian regimes, genocide and concentration camps.
no, nobody's stupid enough to take on NATO
