Topic: Thoughts on the World War 3 and its possible impacts on future? - page 2. (Read 698 times)

I really hope so. But with the current tension happening between USA and Iran, it is not impossible to happen unless other country will remain neutral at the very end. Let's hope their presidents will remain cool headed (Am I wishing too much?) because I can see that their artillery is not a joke for mankind. They can really make a lot of damage right to their own country so I hope diplomatic talks could work .

In my own opinion, every rich people will really make their own safe assets, if the world war 3 will happen because everything will fall apart, but not safe assets like gold and bitcoin because it will not lose it's value if there is a war. I also think we should really not depend on the internet that bitcoin will increase it's value if the war will happen because we can't really say and predict everything about bitcoin

There are fundamentalists in the internet that saying the price of the bitcoin will increase if the world war will happen because there are now people who seeing it as a safe heaven, investors will worry to their money and they want to keep it safe. Bitcoin is now a safe assets for others so the fundamentalists saying that the war has a big effect to the price of the bitcoin. But it is just a opinion and we should not just rely on the news in the internet. It is still better if we will focus on current price action.

Trump is fully aware that war brings harm to America compared to its rewards. This can be seen when he dismissed his national security adviser John Bolton whose foreign policy always contradicted Trump's views. Bolton's aggressive and confrontational policy.

John Bolton always took aggressive and confrontational steps (there was no war that Bolton did not like) so that it impeded several of Trump's main targets, including negotiations with Taliban, re-agreement with North Korea and talks with the President of Iran. The main reasons for Bolton's policy are high cost, war is high-cost and regime change is high cost.

The essence of the containment policy is, by boxing the enemy, without intervention and attack, the enemy will die alone. We take the example of the policy of the United States to compartmentalize China. different from the plural Soviet Union, China is the majority of the nation's Han, its belief is one Confucius, so it doesn't divide it from within. But it is contained from outside. In the north of China, it was contained by Japan, on the other hand, the influence of China on the Peninsula was contained by South Korea, then Taiwan on the other side and the last was on the side of Southeast Asia namely the Malacca Strait where America built the US-Indo-Pacific. Policy boxing like this is a low cost to Trump who incidentally a businessman.

Why does the United States maintain its military strength in the world, the simple answer is to justify its economic power. The stronger a country's military defense, the more stable the country is.

Honestly, I doubt we will ever see a WW3. As aforementioned, the big powers know that if they were to start then most life on earth (especially humans) would be wiped out. I mean, USA used the first Atomic bomb back in 1945. That's almost 80 fucking years ago. One can only imagine what kind of power lies in the super weapons that have evolved since. Nobody wants to play a game that results in both teams loosing...bigly...

But politics are politics and money is money.. And that's why proxy wars are for

I don't think that there will be a world war 3 because the major countries are now cautious with their actions because they know what the war can bring to them and to its alliances. The technologies that we have now are more powerful than ever before so with the potential of destruction, the countries are now more on settling it through peace talk rather than going all out with war.

they waged war because there was a trigger for conflict like what happened to America and Iran some time ago, even though America has enormous power and is hard to defeat but must be able to maintain peace not show arrogance about a very large and unmatched power, it is only will trigger other countries that are also trying to destroy America.

if there is a third world war it will certainly have a big impact on the world economy. especially if the war is a big country like China, America and the world's oil producing countries. and certainly war will always bring destruction. so there must always be an effort to avoid war. and I think the people at this time are very sensitive and always protest when conflicts occur between countries. so that the third world war can be avoided.

but what is happening right now is that the situation is starting to subside, of course this is done because if a war breaks out the natural resources that are there will be damaged, so there will be no results after the war. therefore I think the soft track will still be implemented. before the war will certainly take into account the profit and loss that can be

To impose their will on others.

Previous world wars took place in a world where commerce between countries was vastly more basic and vastly less intertwined. Now world war would not be good business. That's why it'll never happen again.

Lots of toy wars will take place instead.

All of these inferences arise because of the situation between the United States and Iran and both had a go at each other and with the global pressure they are settling their differences by striking at each other and then looking for the next step on how they are going to deal with the situation, Iran might have nuclear power and the missiles reached the United States base in Iraq while they boast on having the best anti missile technology but in this instance it was no use and i am still scratching my brain about the reason.

Holy hell! I am so overwhelmed by some of the replies on both threads I made, and reading some interesting takes on the whole scenario, I will reply soon to some of the intriguing opinions soon.

Also, I am quite surprised that many of you think, another world war cannot happen. US has invested in Military and weaponry more than anyone else, why do you think that is the case? Why do you think North Korea has so many nuclear weapons? Its not for NOTHING, I will tell you that much.

There is really nothing good to comeout from this past events, the war between the countries would only result damage for both of them, people or army losing their lives, families broken, and expenses for arms and services. Both party would suffer from financial loss for nothing.

War always occurs when humanity reaches a certain level of abundance. This is a rather strange phenomenon, but it is a fact.
Now in the world there are a lot of unsolved problems and unstable military situations. I doubt that in such a tension a global conflict could arise.

This is good news indeed at the very least. One thing we can now guarantee is that a large-scale war wouldn't happen, or at least we have kept it at bay. Nevertheless, I'm still hoping that these continue to go on because if it doesn't and war happens, cryptocurrencies are not gonna be in the best position. Bitcoins are basically embedded in the internet. And since war obstructs technological advances and uses it for militarisation instead, I believe the internet won't be accessible for us.

Iran and US, although they have some bad terms on having a war which is I don't think that might happen because first of all if the Iran will triggered the US to have a war or start a war then probably it would be a huge problem to them because we all know that US is one of the most strongest country all over the world and they are the one who have the most advance technology, so in technical analysis there is no chance that Iran will survive or to win,  Iran will just throw money and effort to fight US which is have a complete soldiers and advance technology. So maybe that would be probably one of the main reason why both parties stay calmed.

As of today, situations have calmed down and moreover both the US and Iran are dealing with their own internal issues and I don't think Iran would afford to go on war with US at this point due to internal conflict and daily protests which had partially paralyzed the country before the assassination of general Solemani, Iraqi protests to keep Iranian out of their country's internal affairs and the casualties it has faced due to involvement into MiddleEast battlefield. I don't think they would go for war.

I don't blame you--if we all had complete information about what's really going on behind the scenes instead of having to rely on spin doctors and biased media outlets, we might be able to make informed judgements about things.  People might not have elected Trump in the first place, but the problem is that the public is basically kept in the dark.

That's true in the sense that the military battle would be fought there, but I shudder at the thought of reprisals by individuals happening within the US.  Terrorist attacks in lieu of Iran invading with its troops.  Civilians ought to be kept out of it IMO (on both sides).

Since this is the Economics section, my opinion is that if a major conflict were to get kicked off we'd probably see gold & silver skyrocket.  Not sure what would happen to bitcoin, but it would be interesting to see how it reacted--but I'm not hoping to find out, honestly.  I'd rather see an impeachment and an end to this political tension.

Both parties would not go that far I think, if Iran ever have the guts to go head to head with US, then maybe it will be their dooms day and most of their enemies in the gulf like the Sunni Muslims would be happy about that, and surely will help the US army in their fight. And if it really happens, then so be it and let's see whose country will side Iran, I think there would be few, even China and Russia would have doubts to support Iran, maybe for it is because these two would probably want both countries lose their armies, and certainly China and Russia would be laughing at their backs.

Agreed, at any point if some political pressure ends up in a war this isn't gonna get turned to be world war. If such war happens surely there'll be drastic fall in the economy of Iran and the countries involved in the war. This looks like a issue between two countries, but indirectly more countries will get involved as well as there'll be more countries benefiting and experiencing economic crashes. The outlook is a petty issue, but the in depth issue won't be revealed to the outer world.
