There are no absolutes, but historically, we are "due" for one. Again, that does not mean one will occur, but I believe so.

20 years from now is such a reserved bet, that you really can't lose. I'll give it 5 years, tops. 2 years if shit does not calm down on the international stage, and a few major nations have a total economic collapse.
The aftermath will make World War Two look minor in comparison. It will be real bad. I predict a three front war, and several smaller conflicts here and there. Conflict will engulf the entire globe, sparking a shit load of civil wars and mutiny. |

if you're thinking of "world war" as something resembling the two in the 20th century, the answer is never. or at least not in the foreseeable future. the political geography of territory is obsolete, and has been replaced by one of economic networks. whereas 20th century (and earlier) wars were waged among states, the political identity distinction in the globalized world is based on being inside or outside the global capital network. this network transcends all state borders, linking all state militaries together.
in short, the spice (capital) must flow. any impediment to the spice flowing hurts every state on the planet. as a result, any state that seriously threatens the network becomes an enemy of every other state, all of whom will act in concert to restore order to the net (like everyone on a lifeboat jumping on the guy who is freaking out). afg was a perfect example--nations lined up to fight there, because radical islam is the most serious threat threat to network stability. but we weren't fighting afghanistan--we were fighting a destructive non-state network that passed through there. afg was merely a node. so we might very well see a war of global extent (arguably we've been engaged in one since 2001), but it is unlikely to be MCO among militaries fielded by states. instead, it'll be between capital interests (primarily formal states) and non-state networks who act against the global capital network either because they want to destroy it, or because they want to use the threat as leverage to attain their own ends. |

We have ISIS pillaging through the Middle East shit holes with Turkey making moves to go into Syria. We have escalating tension between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. not to mention NATO forces there right now. Pakistan n India seem to be heating up as well... So how long til someone throws a nuke or a multi national front develops into WW3? You didn't even mention the one, most likely threat in that time frame, Iran. If Obamas deal goes through and they get everything they want, they will have bombs and they really don't have anything to lose like the rest of the countries you named. IF it is going to happen, I'd bet on Iran. |

"The Great Illusion" by Norman Angell made the same argument just before WW1. And then there was WW1. The Post-WW2 security system is in the process of collapsing. Vlad is trying to get the band back together. China is eyeing places that don't belong to it. There's a hostile Islamic ideology afoot, and demographic pressure in the middle east and Africa. Mid-20th century style protracted industrial warfare? Maybe not. But state actors possibly including WMD can't be ruled out. |

Agreed. The longest period of "peace" between all of the Great Powers in the modern erawas the 99 years between Waterloo and WWI. Even then there was the Franco-Prussian War, the Crimean War, the American Civil War, the Russo-Japanese War of 1905--none of which lasted long enough to involve all of the Great Powers. Since WWII, we have had the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Suez Crisis, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Yom Kippur War, Gulf War I--none of which sucked in all of the Great Powers. We will set a new record for the modern era if there is "peace" all the way until 2044. I doubt we will set that record. |

It will never happen again. There are laws preventing that. The UN will sort it out in a fair and diplomatic way. Sound familiar?

That assumes sane leaders that ae concerned with their economies. Not all current leaders seem that interested in keeping the status quo. Here is what we have now. Russia is making waves in Europe and only the power of the US military is holding them back from occupying old Soviet territories. China is building an island military base in the South China Sea in waters that are contested. Iran and it's nuke program and it's direct impact on countries like Saudi Arabia and Israel.
