World War IV?

I think you're missing the point of the quote. He's implying that WWIII will be fought with weapons of mass destruction that will crush society as we know it and set us back to the stone age.

Regarding those who say there was no action in the Cold war, well how do you explain the Korean War, the Vietnam Conflict, the Khmer Rouge, the Cuban Missle crisis, the us funding of the taliban vs. the Red Army, ect. ect. ect.

I'm not saying the cold war was or wasn't WWIII, but its pretty ludicrous to say there was no action...

Any direct attacks on Russia by the US or vice versa though?

The only potential for destruction during the cold war was during the Cuban Missle Crisis, and that crisis was averted without anyone declaring war. The cold war was not a war - there was no action, just talk. The US used it as an excuse to build their military to ludicrously extreme proportions in order to 'counteract the threat from Russia', and Russia talked big whilst hiding it's activities behind the iron curtain (which, when lowered, revealed an extremely economically weak Russia).

I mean world war 1 wasnt fought with sticks and stones, can it really be a world war if those are the only weapons

The original crusades of the early 12th century could be considered a world war - France, Germany, Spain, England, Italy, Austria and Poland all got together and fought Syria, Egypt and the empires of the Fattimids and Abbasids. Early in the crusades, they only used swords, shields and other close range weapons, and yet hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives. The level of firepower should not be indicative of what is required to fight a 'world war', by definition it means a war fought between several countries.

You can't trust Russia, China, and the Arab Nations, I feel they are heavily alligned.

With the unavoidable effect of opening up a can of worms, does that statement have anything to do with the fact that you're strongly religious (or more specifically, strongly christian?). What's to say that we can all trust America? Many countries have, especially third world countries, and do you think they're better off for it? Hell no.

 

[Hutch]

Semantics my good man, it's all semantics. Just because we devised this new nomenclature last century doesn't mean that it was the first war fought between several nations of this world.

Yes and No, but I view this both from a religious aspect and a political one.

His silence has answered your question. Either that, or he's googling like mad to come up with something.

Well then, you know......sometimes charisma can lead to abusing power like for instance, Hitler had a huge charisma and he used ton of power, same with Saddam, and other leaders who wanted to look big...I don't know
