New war soon?

[Dr. Oza]

its been 60 years (roughly) since ww2...

history has shown that there was a similar period before ww1

and 30 years of peace after ww1

any chance within the next 20 years or so we'll see a world war

or can we actually keep the peace?

[CtrlAltDe1337]

There were 20 years of peace after WWI - 1918 to 1939. Conflicts today will be in Asia, not Europe I think. And in fact, we are already in a war in Afghanistan and finishing one in Iraq, so we've already been to war.

[Adrian]

If we have a world wide war it will be the last with the kind of weaponry we have we would destroy humanity most likely.

So no I sure hope there wont be a third world war.

[The.Delegate]

Yea I really hope not. I think we're more likely to see constant smaller localized conflicts, interventions, insurgencies, and civil wars. War between states is now basically MAD with modern weaponry and the concept of total war.

[Angrychris]

Thats why america plays weapon police.

Hopefully. I'm getting bored with current world affairs.

Would be fun to see Turkey conquering Middle East and Caucasus!!

[Space Wolves]

Would be fun to see Turkey conquering Middle East and Caucasus!!

Again?



What would be fun to see is Mongolia blitzing everything like they did back in the good ole' days.


Oh LuLz, MONGOL HORSE ARCHERS versus Tanks or Jets. I'd pay to watch that unfold.

Yes, The War to end all Wars my friend is just over the next hill.

[Poach]

European civil war when the EU unites, perhaps? Oh won't that be fun...

(not that I'm predicting it, just throwing ideas out there)

The EU is not uniteing it s falling appart.

Don't you wanna take one for the team? Civil War 2 or something? You must be getting tired of studying General Lee's exploits and Gettysburg over and over again.


I find this topic to be a bit silly, especially in regard to people wanting a "real" war, an "interesting" war to participate in. Probably the same glorious idea half of Europe's young men had in 1914 before they had to run into machine gun fire or wither away in holes under constant bombardment. I bet that was really interesting for them.

Indeed the glory of war quickly fades when people are being killed around you, and the eagerness of wondering if you have what it takes to kill someone then your put in a position where you have no choice but to do something becouse the possibility of being very Dead is forced upon you.

[Angrychris]

Europe is so 18th century.

[Captain Jin]

I don't think so. There just isn't a strong enough catalyst and too many countries are tied to each other economically. I think we're going to see lots of small regional wars and such, but nothing like WWII.

the world was pretty well globalised by the time WW1 came about.

there were also lots of regional wars back then too.


all this has happened before....

[Atatürk]

I'm just sick of watching the news and seeing the same old crap about housing prices and MP's expenses. There's nothing more entertaining than war. Seeing the heavy weapons in action, territory being gained and lost, the strategy, the bloodshed...

but nothing like WWII.

I don't know about you, but I found World War II a bit boring compared to the first one. When studying it, we end up learning about the Holocaust rather than the actual war.

You would possibly be disappointed. There is not much combat strategy involved when atomic bombs start coming in. More-so diplomatic strategy.

Tool - Vicarious

You should listen to it.

[Captain Jin]

Well, yes, I should've said nothing like WWI either. I think WWI is fascinating, but II just has so many incredible stories of great interest. Not say that one did not, I don't know-- many heroes in both wars, to be sure.
