I don't take war lightly....but if it stops just one man from putting beans into chili, I'm ok with it.

Nukes or attack on US soil by organized government to include embassies

If we became an actual empire and occupied countries for profit only.

None of this democracy bullshit.

LOL... I know what you mean. Sometimes I wonder how many of these guys are operating dangerous machinery, including autos and AR-15's, under the influence of a "harmless" drug that they think is just fine. Being a drunkard is not OK, but weed is fine.

Well, if life ever gets boring we may need something extra spicey to liven things up. Fortunately (or not), we live in very interesting times.

I think WW III would be scarier than most people think.
WW III has the possibility of nukes hitting US soil, massive devastation of US forces overseas, and a mega, global, financial depression.

I can't think of any positive thing USA would get out of WWIII. We already have the international system set up to favor us. UN meets in one of our cities. Most of the better nations to have as military allies are already allied with us. Our currency is the world's reserve currency and we can print more of it anytime we want. Our military is number one. No major commodity that we want to import is unavailable. I don't see this situation getting better for USA, as we are already on top.

The only reason WWIII would make sense for USA is to prevent Something Bad from happening to us. An invasion, a nuclear first strike against us, a blockade, a trade boycott--we might fight to prevent one or more of those things, not to improve life here but to prevent things from deteriorating.

An attack or invasion on North American territories by more than one country.

As I am 22, the chances are high that I would have to drop everything to fight a war that I am fairly confident we wouldn't fight with our hands untied. I would be okay if we fought WW3 with the full extent of our technology and assets on hand. I would expect US to bomb everyone of our enemies over the course of a week with complete disregard to human life. After that week, anyone who is still feeling frosty can enjoy round 2 of bombings. Then the world can spend the next 100 years talking about 2017 and the last war america fought and won. I wouldnt expect anything to change with Russia, or china, or any of our allies. Smart leaders don't pick fights with winners.

Can't even picture that. WW2 was about 60-100M dead out of 2.3B so only 3-4% of the population even with Joe Stalin, Hitler, and Tojo doing their thing. Today, that'd be 222-296M by percentage. Or in a different perspective, 91% of all Americans today.

I would have pounded NK into the stone age before they ever made it to the 1960's.The cowardice of the free world has created a nuclear monster. A week after the Iranians took our people hostage they would have been on their knees praying for the stone age.

I swear there are no people worse than stoners. Back when I used to go out and party, this is how the night would go.

Hanging out, talking to someone outside smoking, they'd ask, "hey you smoke?" Me ,"nope" then they would say , "good don't start"

Go inside and talk to someone drinking, They'd ask, "hey you drink?" me, not tonight, them "OK cool, if you want a beer they are in the ice chest"

Talk to someone high on XTC. me "Hey whats up", them "man I feel so good, blow air in my face"

Talk to someone on weed, me "hey what's up", Them, "IM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HIGH RIGHT NOW!!! YOU NEEEEEEEEEEEEED 2 SMOK WEEDS WITH ME!!!!!, HERE HIT TTHISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS JOINT." mE "Uh no, thanks" Them, "BUTTTT WEED IS GOOD FOR YOU IT CURES CANCER, IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, DOCOTRS LAWYERS CEOS SMOKE ALL THE WEED ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!! HERE TRY THE WEED TRY IT!!! TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY IT!!!!!! ITS NOT ADDICTIVE, I COULD STOP IF I WANTED TO, WEED LAWS ARE STUPID, I DRIVE BETTER HIGH.....HAVE SUM WEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY REASUN WEED IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE REEFER MADNESSSSSSSSS IN THE 1870s BIG PHARMA KEEPS WEED ILLEGAL BECAUSE IT CURES EVERY DISEASE KNOWN TO MANKIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Me, "fucking later stoners, im out of here"

Weed is the only drug in which the people who do it are so fucking annoying it makes me wish it would be banned forever.

So, OP... What is your definition of WW3. Nukes..?

A world war is a war that involves countries around the globe, not just specific weapons.

I would never want a world war but if your talking the use of nukes.. I would support their use to prevent or retaliate against the use of nukes or other WMDs against Americans..

Do we really need another one?

The last two trashed Europe pretty good.

What if the next one takes place primarily on our continent? I would rather we just stayed at home and kept to ourselves, and only got involved if we were attacked.
