In our days, tensions are growing higher between the world superpowers...
Will there be a 3rd world war? If yes will it be soon? Will it be necessary? And to your opinion wich would be the different coalitions? What will happen? How will it end?

The only nation in the world that is a super power is the US. China, UK, Russia and India are normal powers. Canada, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, etc are middle powers. Everyone else is, meh.....

There wont be a 3rd world war. The economic and physical damage resulting from 2 large countries going to war nowadays outways any benefits.....

Iran, like said, is meh. It has very little power. China, like said, is to economcly tied to the rest of the world to go to war with another country of comparable size. Korea, and by that I assume you mean north korea, is a small, isolated pathetic backwater(what? It is.). They will soon have a revolution.

In our world, there are 5 top SUPER powers:
1: U.S.A
2: Japan
3: Germany
4: U.K/ France
5: France / U.K.
(France are U.K. are equally powerfull in economic terms)
Then there are the nuclear powers : U.S.A, China, Russia, U.K., France, India, Israel and soon Iran...
Then there are the military powers: bla bla bla
I could go on like this forever, I know what I'm talking about, I'm a Geography and social country student. So there is no such thing as 'middle powers', 'normal powers' ect.
Oh and south korea, and Brazil are 'developing countries' (a nice way to say 'poor country')

With the globalisation the world has been through the past 50 years, it's impossible to wage war on a large scale without another force intervening. Like sdHonda said, the fact they'd be shooting themselves in the foot wouldn't outweigh the possible benefits.

NOW THAT, is an intressting awnser. It is possible to wage large scale war, but the chances are too slim, It would most certainly turn out into a nuclear war. Nowdays the goal of wining a war is to locate an enemy with your satelitte, use a warhead on him, and once he surrendered send men to occupy and secure his place. War has changed and has become too easy, fast and leathal

True.

Then there are the nuclear powers : U.S.A, China, Russia, U.K., France, India, Israel and soon Iran...

You forget pakistan. Just having nuclear weapons doesent make you a super power, eispeially if you can't effectivly deliver them. And Iran wont have nukes any time soon, and it wont matter anyway...

Brazil maybe, but they have huge potential, and although they have a large impoverished class, they also have a strong middle class, and have areas of good development.

South korea is far from being a developing country, though they don't have alot of power.....

As has been hinted at above, too much will be at stake if there is another world war..The most likely thing is that America attacks Iran and that may cause China and Russia to protect Iran as they get quite alot of wealth from Iranian oil and gas. If that happens then North Korea will side with Iran because of China and sadly the UK will side with America.

To be honest, i doubt serious military action will be taken against Iran as it will destable the world's economies. I'm sure America isn't stupid enough to let it happen... But then again they did re-elect Bush for a second term so i wouldn't put it past America...

Right with Iran, But I didn't say they were SUPER powers I said they were NUCLEAR powers, that means that they posess nuclear tech.

As much as I hate to say, WW3 is inevitable, fast-approaching, and necessary. A militant Islamic state like Iran won't be swayed by Bush's bullshit, and neither will Kim Jung the Illest. If our capitalist asses want to be safe we need to quit figuratively raping and fondling other foreign powers and just chill out. When a democratic state with nuclear weapons is ran by an economic system like ours, with a president that puts mentally challenged Texans to death...what world power wouldn't want to kill of us "yankees." Us "infidels." We were born to live and die and I think the next fifteen years are critical in maintaining world peace. We are already, right now, on a the brink of an international incident with Iran and North Korea, lets just get past these next two years of Bush and his lackeys, and vote for someone who can at least complete a full sentence.

i think there will be a World War 3. soon? doubt it. the U.N has been pretty good at keeping the LARGE scale conflicts down...just a hundred little one's-YAY! would it be necessary? depends on what happens in iraq. that is, if they ever get control of it. because sooner or later, you'll get an insane facisist dictator, who just wants to kill as many people as possible.

I've got to agree with a lot of this. As long as the US keeps peddling it's "fix the world" bullshit and other countries keep peddling their "we are god's only army" bullshit, war is close to inevitable.

If you ask me, WWIII will come into existence when the Middle Eastern nations get over themselves and finally band together. They've got a common goal, but they've had some trouble allying themselves in the past because of some economic and military differences. If all of these "infidel" hating nations finally agree to wage their Jihad together, that's how war will begin. They'll declare this alliance, the terrorist attacks will increase, we'll do our whole bombing thing once again, and a global war begins. It will probably be North America and Europe versus the Middle East and their various African nations.

This will be a little like a guerilla war on a global scale: We've got an obvious advantage in things like economy, weaponry, and the fact that we generally have so many more countries. They, on the other hand, can cut off their our oil supply at any time, and already have sleeper cells planted all over the world. Plus, there's the whole issue of Muslim Pride: When we have nuclear weapons, we have to get into a complicated system of considerations and dealings before we could ever launch it. They, on the other hand, are fighting a religous war, and have the advantage of soldiers who don't give a shit about casualities, including themselves. If they get their hands on dangerous weaponry, they're not going to hold back.

That's my theory.

In my opinion (yes, one small opinion in that of a world inhabited by 6 billion plus others), there can be no WWIII. Indeed, there will no doubt continue to be struggle across the planet, and widespread, but in reality, humanity is far too advanced to have such a calamity occur. In the sense of large wars, we have already reached what you would call "World War III". America, having attacked Afghanistan (the Taliban) and Iraq (Saddam Hussein) in quick succession, have escalated the gas crisis beyond its already difficult nature. If you are looking for a WWII, the nearest you will get to it is these Middle Eastern crises, and in that sense the shot was fired on September 11, 2001.

albert einstein said "I don't know what WW3 will be fought with but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones"

i'd say the power stucter is like this.

1. U.S.A oh yeah number 1
2. china 2 highest gdp, got nukes, and most likely a way to deliver them a far ways.
3. lets just say the E.U. even though The U.K. is not part of it, its still a power house
4. japan they don't have much of a military but can get one fast. like the U.S. pre WW2.

there will probalt be a WW3 just because wars have always happened since the dawn of time. but it's no where near.
