If by World War 3 you actually mean "Are we witnessing the moment before Western civilization decides survival is not politically correct?", then yes, we are.

No--because it can't be a war if one side won't fight back(not a military problem, a political one...)

Yes.
As discussed during my orientation at work at a certain command responsible for that part of the world.... Russia, (a country from the north of Israel) has inserted itself into the AO. Iran wants a bomb. Israel can't let this happen. Russia of course supports Iran and now has forces between Israel and Iran geographically. So let's say Iran gets close to the bomb and Israel launches an attack. Well Russia doesn't care for IDF planes flying over their forces so they shoot a couple down. Well Israel can't stand that obviously. One, an existential crisis still exists if Iran gets a bomb so the strike must go on, two, they now have to return fire on Russia. So now Russia and Israel are at war. That emboldens the rest of the ME, especially Iran because now they can finally knock Israel off. So here we come to defend Israel. Now we are off to the races. All the remaining parts of the Bible ready to come true. I remember talking as a high schooler about Biblical prophecy and stuff and thinking that Russia was the logical attacker from the north that is predicted but it seemed so unrealistic because they weren't really on the world stage and why would they ever be attacking Israel? But I will damned if they aren't in the perfect spot for that shit to kick right off. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
absolutely; and I'm not convinced we're going to win this one. Agreed.... Our "feels" have been compromised, in that we no longer have the will to do what it takes to win. Political correctness, the policy of measured and equal response, and the fear of being judged by nations who are less moral than we are, is the reason we cannot win. Edit... I want to state that our military is the best trained and equipped in the world, and I am confident that they would beat any foe on earth... if allowed to. But it's the conditions I mention above that handcuff our great men and women of the military. |

World War III will almost certainly involve western civilization's last ditch attempt to save itself from islamic destruction, but I think we're about mid way through an extended build-up to that point. If Hillary Clinton is elected, the race toward WWIII will likely accelerate dramatically. Weakness is provocative.

Meanwhile I will pray our leadership or lack thereof doesn't sit idly by while Americans are killed. Based on what we've seen from FBHO and our "leaders," it will take an act of God for them to not be completely spineless and useless and let our military, the best in the world, stomp these savages. |

The period of relative peace in Europe following WWII was a historical anomaly that is probably coming to an overdue end.
WWIII? Who knows. Doubt it, since there are no major military powers that are likely to throw down in total war. |

If Iran gets within spitting distance of a bomb you are out of your mind if you think Israel won't attack. They have no option not to...
ETA: And as for attacking Russia...the idea is that if Russia impedes a strike on Iran or takes any action against Israeli forces to stop said attack then Isreal would respond. Again what makes you think they wouldn't? You really think they would let Russia shoot down a strike package en route to Iran and do nothing about it? Don't get me wrong, my little scenario there is a bunch of "what ifs" that may (hopefully) never happen, but it IS the dominoes that could fall into place in order to lead us down the road to a true WWIII, |

The US is not. The US, mostly via the CIA, is backing the rebel forces on the ground. Russia is backing Asad, attacking for "ISIS" and the CIA-backed "rebels". US gets butthurt that Russia is attacking the CIA's mercenaries freedom fighters and not just "ISIS", wants to call a pow-wow to deconflict the airspace. If that's not a full blown proxy war, it's about 3 inches away from being one. |
