Will World War 3 ever happen?

So will it ever happen? If it does I reckon it'll start in the Middle East. Some reckon the Cold War was World War 3...
 
I reckon if anything does kick off big time it will be further east than the Middle East.

After all we currently have 2 nuclear armed nations posturing and killing each others troops. And one of them is in internal turmoil with insurrection and a high court putting out a warrant for the PM's address.
 
Well it nearly happened in 1962 with the Cuban missile crisis - it's bound to happen sooner or later according to Star Trek it's scheduled to happen round the mid-point of this century.

I don't reckon there will be anything significant on a global scale in the future.

Or at least not something we currently recognise as warfare. A whole different ballgame I'd think.

Agree.
Its all about money and the main players are in it for that :?
As nobody wants to totally derail the gravy train its likely to be skirmishes in 3rd world countries for their natural resources
Main player installs dictator ,opposing main player supports/arms/trains the freedom fighters(sorry,terrorists)

Pretty much standard working practises for 1st world countries ;)
 
3 won't happen, people will be too lazy to go to war as it will mean leaving their bedroom, laptop and facebook
