With the US already at war with Irak, Iran preparing missiles, North Korea already made missiles and looks like its making even more, Cuba threatning the US again. We've got missiles going around everywhere. It looks like a world war is right around the corner, if a not a similar cold war again. Lucky for the US, South Korea and Japan are on their side and so are a few other countries like England I think. What do you guys think about this?

I think issues will be solved without any war. These countries would never like themselves to bring to an end. Things are much deeper what we see from outside. It is not like WW2 when countries were divided in the whole world.

Who's told you this rike17?
There has been nuclear threats decades ago. But the fact is, why would any country try to use nuclear weapons now? Doing so will just incur their own annihilation. When in doubt, embrace the spirit of Ubuntu.

If Iran or NK try anything, you can bet that Tehran or Pyongyang is going to get an explosive package or set of packages. Arguably, WWIII is going on right now, and has been since the start of the Cold War.
The question really is more along the lines of if Iran or NK is ballsy enough to try anything, and belive me, I don't think we're going to sit back and let some nuke come our way. Even France will blow shit up (just ask Greeepeace) when provoked. Japan has stated that if an NK missle hits them, they will take that as a declaration of war. The US is NOT at war with Iraq. We are at war with terrorists. We took Iraq faster than we took the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. We are training the Iraqi soldiers to fight the terrorists. Cuba's threatening the US? Why? We have long range missles, and while Bush isn't my top pick for President, I don't think he'll endlessly negotiate with Castro. Missles aren't flying all over. There are a couple of crazies that keep waving the nuke stick around, but outside of RPG's, we're not seeing a lot of major missles flying around...at least that are reported (unless it's going to be used to bash Bush for the umpteenth time/say Iraq war sucks...etc.). rike...get your facts down, or you're gonna drive yourself nuts. WWIII may very well happen, but I don't see it coming right now. |

Never read this post until now.
England wouldnt be much use on your side. We haven't even got an armed forces, we'll have to send the scots in or summit! Besides, bugger England, South Korea and Japan its China and Russia you want on your side. To put it in perspective if it ever (which it wont) turns into all out worst case scenario war the UK currently have 12.3m men available to fight. The US has 73.5m and China has 375.5m. At least the British Army will probably be able to camp out in India who would also back us up, they have 288.2m able bodied men who can fight. rike, the world has been this f****d since forever. The biggest threat is that Pakistani scientist who sells the "build it yourself" kits around the world. Libya had the last shipment going up the suez canal just before Mi6 and the CIA dusted off the deal with Tripoli. (that deal was a real interesting story) place yuor bets now!

i seen on a website that this was said: "A new Korean War will finally lead to the Third World War," it said. "Let us see who will win and who will be defeated in the fire-to-fire standoff."
source: World Urges Caution as N. Korea Raises World War III Fears If world war 3 did start, that would mean that north korea blasts the crap outa the us and other main countries etc..? its very confusing, it seems like the world stands no chance against North korea. whats going to destroy the world first? global warming, astroid or nukes?

countires such as iran, N korea, pakistan all want access to nuclear weapons as they see it as bargaining chips against the US. once these countries have nukes , other countires are forced to take them more seriously. for example, i dont think bush and blair would of been so keen shooting from the hip bargeing into baghdad if saddam had a couple of nukes waiting to blow the coalition forces to kingdom come. (even though supposedly iraq did....)
it all boils down to the fact every man and his dog in 'devleoping countries' is sick of new age colonialism by the US and want their country and their interests taken seriously. they dont want a war, they just dont want to be bullyed. anyway, it shouldnt be the missles in North Korea that worry you: the korean armed forces is well funded. u shud be worrying bout the russian generals who are skint and have sold their last dozen ICBMs at a knock down price to some guy whose slightly mad and wants to get his own back for england losing the world cup. so cheer up mate.. have a pint. worry bout the crossword instead! |

Well, Saddam was not complying with UN resolutions, and had he been allowed to continue, we would've very likely had a problem on our hands eventually. Saddam didn't have nukes from what I understand, but that doesn't mean he didn't have other things up his sleeve. We've had a much more recent run in with Saddam, so I think the threat was still fresh in peoples minds whereas Kim Jong Ill isn't the same guy calling the shots as when we had the Korean War. Saddam Hussein was going to be a continued threat...and quite honestly, he should've been taken care of in the original Persian Gulf war. Kim Jong Ill is like a little kid with a .22 revolver and no extra bullets trying to take on a SWAT team.
NK is going to be down right stupid to try anything real. Even China's not to happy about their little missile show yesterday. If NK tries anything, I doubt it's going to be put up with for very long. We have the capability to make Pyongyang a pile of rubble, but we are trying to avoid that. From what I hear, NK only has a few missiles that they could possibly put a nuke on, and their long range missile that would be a threat to the US came apart within the first minute of launch. |

thats north korean hardware for ya! i would imagine that their missle build quality is some what near that of their LG mobile phones: looks nice enough but falls apart the first time you take it out.
edit: i may be wrong, coz i have a sneaking feeling LG is south korean. doesnt matter either way, coz LG build quality is still rubbish! |

Like daisycutter said, they want them so they will be taken a little more seriously by other countries.
The eastern countries with nuclear weapons dont really have many. Not compared to what was made in the cold war. They will go out in a few bangs and that would be that. Iran is practically bankrupt because of the money it has spent so places like N Korea who we wont trade with are stuffed when it comes to building an arsenal. I dont know what the score is with India and Pakistan though. Besides if they drop nukes it will be on each other! Nothing to worry about there! Baring in mind it apparently will take 7-8 of the biggest to flatten London it really is about bargaining power. Very few countries will have the ability to launch enough to cause world mayhem. Probably just the likes of the usual few. America, Uk (whatever we have on our old subs or is it sub now? And thats at the end of its long life), France and persuming Russia are liers, them too. China apparently have 2000 nukes too! 2000 nukes, potentially 400m troops and enough T72's to do all the Challenger 2s in the world is enough to scare me. And N Korea too!
