Yes, but, wars ONLY cause MORE wars. That is the cyclus that will NEVER END.

One has to fight to create peace. No matter how long it would take.

But you cannot use perceptual war to gain perceptual peace.

What is peace? I don't think this world has ever had purity of peace, this peace is nothing more than what the media again tells you is peace.

Yes. Peace was never pure!

One war lead to another, than that war lead to another war in vengeance, than again, vengenace, and that is the circle that NEVER, NEVER, ABSOLUTLEY NEVER ends.

That is the pure truth. Only way for peace is that the entire world soil gets split eavenly to all countries. All resources get spread equally, and there would be no war for any teritory or resources. That would be peace, but we all know that that will NEVER happen.

[Kizzu]

What we call "Peace" is a utopian concept. It's virtually impossible to have complete peace, interests collide, we're all different one way or another.

WWIII won't last long I gues. just a few rockets and bombs ... and its all over. No guns, no tanks... just simply killing entire nations.

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Einstein

WWIII will be a push-the-button war.

[Ratko Gavrilovic]

Which all brings us to devolution (backwards evolution).

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Einstein

This is not incorrect.

If after a few decennia the world is still in one piece, we will have run out of oil and other world resources.
No more high tech world, we will go back in time like our grandparents used to live.
The world leaders only care about their current wealth.
They will or will not see what they have done to the world later.

The best option is a world wide revolution.
But the citizen himself does not even care anymore.

Am I the only one who thinks there won't be a WWIII in the upcoming years? :cool:

Yea, you are...

I only give a damn about Balkans, and as long as Balkans are NOT cought in crossfire, i am all OK.

[Emre]

What if the current US-American president was actually not from Kenya and would have an opponent who is not republican and phobic against almost everything ? Firstly mentioned will show his bad side if WWIII would be declared while he is in charge and secondly mentioned would only provoke one.

That is an innocent and ingenuous thought. Tensions are high, oil is depleting, revolutions are brewing, the economy is on it's lowest since a really long time. War generates money. After WW2 Europe rose as fast as ever.

Conditions back then were different, if anything they would want to avoid WWIII for the sake of their economies.
If the superpowers fight their funds flow down like a river, whereas small countries that popped up afterwards, and economies like India would flourish. Many of the small countries would even merge to form bigger countries and in the end, Europe and US would probably take bigass losses...(Given that nuclear war doesnt pew pew us, that is)

As for the peace conduct, there is no way to ensure peace.
Even Gandhi started wars, he protested for the Britishers to give a portion of the aid to India over to Pakistan, but it ended up in pakistan using up all that cash to buy weapons and invade India for more land, destroying its own economy and messing up the Indian economy aswell. In the end Pakistan invaded India four times, Every action really does have a equal and opposite reaction.

Will there be anything left to rise after a full-scale war is ignited?

[Emre]

The third world war will most likely have nothing left but a central spot that dominates everything else. Everything else goes under or merges with the domination.
