thts a tough question to answer when you look at the previous world wars the situations were more of many countries fighting against one or 2 countries because of an injustice!. rite now its more many different countries fighting with each other, each with a different cause--therefore i dont know if it is fit to call this time period world war threeWww@QuestionHome@Com

No, what is happening is nothing unusual!. There have been nothing but problems in the Middle East since the end of WWII, the issues with Africa are ones that have been going on in that region for decades because of corrupt governments!. As for Russia, this is nothing different from what the old Soviet Union did!. All of this has happened before but the countries may be different!.

This is not even close to WW3Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think technology has rendered an all-out super-power vs super-power war near on impossible!. What we are seeing now is localised conflicts but throughout history there has always been conflict soemwehere!. Now a true world war based on the same principles as the other world wars (i!.e!. war officially being declared by all the major powers in the world) would be a very quick war and would in most probability bring about the destruction of most of the world!. It would probably be something best avoided and personally its something I'm praying never happens!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not really, I think a lot of countries remain fairly unaffected to the violence in those regions!. Obviously I wasn't around for the first two so I can't compare the situations, but it doesn't seem like the same thing to me!. I'm not sure we'll actually have any more 'world wars' the way we had them, wars and invasions seem quite commonplace nowadays that It hardly seems like something to worry about whereas the 'world wars' made it seem like every life in the world was to be negatively affected by the actions of a handful of people thus everyone had to take up arms to protect their ways of life!. Now peoples reactions border more on 'sh*t happens!. whens lunch!?'Www@QuestionHome@Com

If there's ever a WWIII, believe me, you'll know!. Yes, there are conflicts all over the globe!. There usually are!. But those don't qualify even unofficially as a world war!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. If we were in a world war, we'd know!. "All the countries" in "NATO are attacking the middle east"!? Huh!? There are many countries in the world who are at war with each other, but they're not joining forces!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
