World War 3

> it will be relatively bloodless for anyone not on the battlefield.

>Religion will be a big blame for the war (Muslims will see the worst punishment most likely).
>only one country in the entire conflict is muslim

I'm just dying to see your logic for this, if you have any to begin with

So the West is used to fighting Russia and China lately? Really, which conflicts?

This is a history board, user.

WW3 will be started over time machine technology

Time travel isn't possible

>Time travel isn't possible

Militaries around the world will be tied down locking down the borders to stop the climate/economic refugees, oil will be in too short supply after the financial system collapses to fight any large scale mechanized war, dissent will skyrocket and governments will barely be able to keep things from falling apart

this. everyone else is a brainlet. there will be many localized wars, civil wars, but another world war will not happen until civilization collapses and is rebuilt again.

It'll just be continuous US proxy wars until the US falls.

WORLD WAR 3? IT CALLED SINGUALRITY YOU MEATBAG.

Leaving out Saudis on side A was shortsighted user. Imo, it is likely to start with Saudis vs. Iran and Syria

Are you clowns seriously suggesting that a modern western country in total war mode can't lock down its borders?

If Dems win in 2020 or take back control of the gov before then, I am positive that they will start a war with Russia. My guess is starting with an attempt to re-take Crimea and the Donbass.

hell it could probably happen without many people knowing

World War 3 will be a huge clusterfuck of civil wars. The UN will collapse and it is doubtful that any country won’t be split between those trying to maintain it and those trying to end it. Eastern Europe is probably the safest bet for just declaring independence and banding together to make sure they don’t get spitroasted between Russia and Germany again. Nationalist forces will clash with globalists and the highly “diverse” areas in Europe will probably see caliphates sprout up in the chaos. There is a possibility that this could happen to the US too, though it would have much more clearly defined fronts and belligerents. Those being the countryside nationalists and the city dwelling socialists. No telling how the military and other armed forces will split if and when it happens. With the US distracted, the real shit would hit the fan, as China would probably take the opportunity to project force into the South China Sea and North Korea might even go for a balls to the wall last hope push to retake the south. No idea what might happen in the Middle East without big brother America’s hands down everybodies panties. Maybe the Muslims will try to destroy Israel again. Maybe Israel will conquer the rest of Palestine. I think Russia won’t get directly involved in conflicts if possible. They’ll instead sell to all sides and wait a year or two until they think they can snatch up old clay without much of a fight. Saudi Arabia will probably seek to profit from the wars too, instead of getting directly involved. Unless of course, the increased resource usage leads to a shortage of oil or water. Then it’s anybodys fucking game. That shit will go from a world war to an actual global societal collapse. Thinking about the future is fun.

...

What's crazy is how many different tension points there are in the geopolitical system, how they are all escalating and one snapping would make all the others break too.

It's really a global apocalypse waiting to happen at any time.

I don't post there and have no desire to.

>Imagine the Congolese Civil War on a global level.

This is interesting analysis, /k/. But you really need to stop masturbating as you explain it to us, the walls are still all sticky from the last time.

>Poland
>Ever siding with Russia

I guess the question is, what's most likely to happen first.

>Balkanization of the EU
>strike on North Korea leading to confrontation between US and China
>war between Saudis and Iran
>Russia vs. Ukraine
>Civil War 2, Electric boogaloo
>Western European civil war
>China grabbing Taiwan
>Economic collapse and quickly ensuing civil wars everywhere

Depending on which one happens first, the next things could be different

Is there any feasible way for America to unconditionally lose the war?

You're thinking too hard my dude. It'll be kick off with a Civil War in the United States. Other nations will try to insert themselves to change the outcome of the war and eventually the outsiders will start fucking with each other to make sure that they can't change the outcome of the US Civil War.

Of course, the US navy could hold off literally every nation on earth, even if they all came at once against the US, but they will all come claiming to help the US. So really I think the outcome of the next US civil war will be determined by the US navy commanders and who they allow through.

If the nukes come out then everyone loses.

Any massive global conflict will most likely start in Asia. The region is a growing powder keg as defense spending has risen to unprecedented levels in recent years. The United States since the the Obama administration has already moved to shift much of the US fleet to the Pacific Coast and advocated for the TPP as a means to counter rising Chinese economic influence.

With the Trump administration, the US role is put into question, especially as it takes a faux jingoistic characteristic which makes it a less reliable diplomatic and regional partner.

With a potentially diminishing US presence, countries like China and India are increasingly agitated and have heavily nationalistic governments who could use border skirmishes as a means to score some political points.

Also keep in mind growing Chinese influence with many of India's neighbors, including arch-rival Pakistan. This has furthered escalated Indian concerns about Chinese regional domination and has attributed to a growing Indian navy as well as a growing military presence along the border, including with tiny Bhutan.

I don't see Western Europe being a focal point for any massive conflict unless Russia went full retard and invaded with the full might of it's military. Instead, Russia will continue to use more insidious tactics that are much cheaper and effective, whether they be an elaborate network of internet trolls, support for likeminded political candidates, or general misinformation campaign.

A war between Saudi Arabia and GCC allies against Iran, LOL, good luck with that. Saudi Arabia can't even defeat a bunch of mountain herders in northern Yemen.

In conclusion, any major near global conflict will likely occur in Asia.

If Nukes come out then everyone wins. We need the cleanse user.

just because your life is garbage doesn't mean that everyone else deserves it

It's already happening.
