You ask are we closer than ever, well of course we would have to be, every day a little closer. War and fighting all around us, here in America with open borders and drug lords and on the brink of depression with no one even allowed to protect themselves. You would have to blind to not see all that is happening in the world is not for something.
There will be so much bad if one thing don't get us the other will. All the fools say 'don't worry, be happy.
Based on the scope and scale of WWI and WW II, probably not.
We seem to be heading towards some sort of disaster, probably economic, but I don't see it turning in to WWIII. Instead I think we will continue to 'little' wars in different areas of political, economic and religious conflict - nasty for those involved but not on the scale of the previous world wars.
I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but WWIII being declared on May 20th 2011, causing the world to end on May 21st 2011 in a nuclear hailstrom, won't be happening. I guess this means you can throw away your Scofield Bible.
All those political events are serving to do is heighten the anxiety of those with no knowledge. When the world as we know it will begin to crumble it will be by natural causes. By mid century those changes will begin to manifest themselves.
We might be getting closer but I wouldn't say closest ever. I thought we were closer during the Cuban missile crisis back in the day. Probably as soon as some country decides to invade or attack Israel is when WW3 will go down.
I'd venture to say there will be some kind of world conflict in the next few decades as a result of the scarcity of a resource such as freshwater or energy, though I agree with credence that the scope could not possibly rival either of the previous world wars. Expect it to more more of a localized conflict that most countries are involved in one way or another.
Of course not. Not any of these nations have any substantial military force or biochemical weapons, and countries that do, with the exception of North Korea, have not intentions of using them. We were closer to having a third World War during the Cold War between the United States and Russia than in any recent time.
Two extremely suspicious adversaries with the largest possession of nuclear arms.
Fun Fact: Had we done anything but successfully blockade Cuba during the Cuban missile crisis, Russia was planning on releasing its nuclear missile barrage on all major cities on the East coast of the United States. Isn't history fascinating?
I'm not sure what will happen as far as war is concerned .
According to scripture, Gog and Magog is an unrealized event on the charts - but this is not the third world war. You won't see that, if you see it at all, until the one world zionist government is in place.
If there ever is a world war 3, it won't be an ongoing struggle for power. It will end with one stupid country launching a nuclear strike, and the other countries following suit, ending in a nuclear holocaust.
I have to agree with Pollyannalana everyday we get closer and closer to an early death..(the death of a superpower) with no one else to blame but ourselves..I'am a fifty one year old man and I can honestly say i've seen some things, from Ku Klux Klan and Black Panther rallies in the sixties to cable and even color tv..And the drug scene has gotten 100% worse than the sixties..like Pollyannalana says the open borders drug lords, outside and for sure inside of this country..All I see is something is on the horizon and it aint pretty..kids killing their parents, their parents killing their kids..The way we live, most of us only take instead of give..Tonight is my first night on this site..thankyou all..remember the four horsemen ride..
There will come a time of trouble such as was not since the beginning of the world.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
