Will there ever be a WW3? Will we live to see it?
>>1345284
We will be in a forever-war against Islam for quite a while.
Other than Muslims and Russia, large-scale war has basically been over for more than a decade.
Unless something drastically comes to change it, we'll be in a long trudging war with Islam for the foreseeable future.
BTW, this isn't alt-right shilling, all of what I'm saying is depressingly verifiable.
Hopefully we establish a permanent industrial foothold in space before it happens.

WWIII is a meme. The bigger nations are too strong and not willing to risk their entire nation. There is no purpose anymore. What we have no is what we will see for a while -
Quashing guerrilla fighters
and small skirmishes
There will not be an all out war between the most powerful nations because there is really no point to anymore. There is too much at stake.

>people think it is possible to have war with the entirety of pic related
This is why I feel satisfaction when Western countries face disaster.
>>1345459
I never thought I'd see a graph I made here. Gosh its been like 10 years.
>>1345312
>has basically been over for more than a decade
And for 10000 years large scale war was the norm so if we're going by the average this Era of proxy wars is not necessarily the new norm but a statistical freak of the times.
>>1345434
This is the correct answer all the way around. I don't even think we'll ever see a nuclear detonation in anger ever again.
>>1345284
I'mean not with the norm when I say yes. Definitely. As long as capitalism concentrates wealth into more than one Centre arms being used to resolve what business can't is inevitable.
This is not a negative critique on capitalism though. Other economic systems present similar if not identical problems. Ultimately it us just a question of time, of which for practical purposes there is an infinite amount.
>>1345284
There is a myth that war can be profitable. That we havent seen a war between world powers is due, not just to mutually assured destruction, but to the oligarchies behind modern western governments.
Nope.
Nukes ruined large scale warfare forever.
>>1345485
I made that graph you lying shit
>>1345604
Not forever just until mass bombardment can be prevented or stopped by opposing sides
>>1345680
Are you familiar with the phrase "the bomber will always get through."
Right now our society is so prosperous that 3,000 civilian deaths in one go is enough to dramatically change it.
Even one nuclear weapon slipping though the net would make that look like nothing.
>>1345709
No it wouldnt
>>1345709
1935 here. I can't imagine a world where a bomb can destroy a city so clearly it's impossible forever.
>>1345284
Pssssst
Pssssst
Pssssst
>25 year rule.
>>1345723
what's that?
The difficulty of a war between the major powers is evident to me. The use of nuclear weapons would have to be agreed by the beligerents to be off the table.
>>1345767
We kind of already have that agreement, it's called MAD
>>1345774
Yeah I know, but I meant like in WW2 there was a tacit agreement between Germany and the Allies not to use chemicals weapons.
>>1345758
You are why this board is shit.

Thanks guys. I made the original .png file back in like 2007. Some other wiki user then uploaded it as a cleaner .svg. They deleted my original from the Wiki page and the .svg has been there ever since.
The dude who replaced my image never cited my original or anything, and I was too ignorant/uninterested in wiki politicking to do anything about it.
Here is what the original looked like.
I know this is all unrelated bullshit but it was fun seeing this image here.

Go to bed Salman, you have a country to run.

>implying its not
if 'islamicness' is your marker it has more of a right to be on there than either ahmadiyyah or khawarij, who aren't even allowed to bury their dead in muslim graveyards.

>exactly what people said before WWI

Hopefully.

They also didn't have access to weapons that could wipe entire cities off the face of the earth with a single strike.
