Conspiracy theory of the highest order, confirmation if it's needed 3 minutes in when he says 9/11 was an inside job. If the US was striving towards a goal of World War III then they really pissed away the perfect opportunity in the decades spent trying to resolve and end the cold war, eh?

[Mr. Carmichael]

What a load of honk, he doesn't even mention any specifics. Global military buildup? Well Obama has just made massive cuts that will seriously curtail the pentagon for the next five years at least and prevent any more buildups so that's that idea quashed.
A Nuclear war is the most unpredictable form of war possible due to the main fact that no one has ever really fought one before, at least a two sided nuclear war.
Why would a so called One World Government risk such a war when they have no control over it long term, they don't know enough about global atmospheric impact, it could wipe out man or all life on Earth...so then they come back from that and turn the world into the Fourth Reich? Bullshit.
I mean even if it didn't wipe out man kind it would take at least 50 years to come back to the level where we were manufacturing again. It would knock us back to the dark ages and we would be effectively an agrarian society for a long while. Meanwhile the one world government sits in a bunker for fifty years waiting for us to start building sky scrapers again.
The impact of even one nuclear bomb going off in the USA would completely cripple the country's infrastructure and economy. So a few hundred flying around...including the impact on the natural world?

Yeah this guy has all the answers.

Now that we know there is definitely going to be a nuclear war, we will try to prevent it, but what we do trying to prevent it will end up being what actually causes the war! NNNNOOOOO.
On a related topic, this is the worst video ever. The amount of completely unsubstantiated lies is quite impressive. Whoever made this video should be arrested and killed for being mental.

[Craven]

Yeah it's BS heavy, it feeds on facts that another great depression is ahead, and uses it to support theory of inevitable nuclear WW3.

[Prolite]

It is unlikely that there will be another world war. This century will likely be the century of natural disasters, bio-technological warfare, and encryption warfare (whatever that means - - probably to do with the internet and quantum computing).

[Azevo]

Not to mention economic warfare.

[atoblade]

I think there will have to be a resource war at some point in the near future (5 years), conventional peak oil has come and gone (2006) and with the middle east up rise, china and India developing a sustainable middle class that expect comfort the resources just aren't there to meet the demand. The economic impact of peak oil is huge which is what we are seeing with the rising cost of basic living and energy bills. In my opinion the way of life we have now simply cannot continue without a resource war. This video (not so much) and others such as Zeitgeist videos show evidence for 9/11 being set up to make the 1st moves into the oil rich Iraq and the strategically placed Afghanistan (protect from China and India) while extracting the oil in Iraq and most likely soon to be Iran.

Another world war is absolutely possible. The only thing our enemies have to do is build a long range nuclear war head or break the treaty and attack Israel! It will probably be a combination of a a cold war (with the nuclear weapons) and a resource war probably starting in Asia and the middle east.

And Atoblade, that is exactly my thinking on 9/11 and oil! The bigger conspiracy here is OIL!

I think that a full out nuclear world war is highly unlikely, just as it was during the Cold War. Lobbing nukes around is essentially a last resort, "I don't care how you retaliate" kind of thinking that no government in the world would ever adhere to. There is no way on earth China would starting dropping Nukes on anywhere outside, apart from the retaliation, who are they going to sell their goods to in the afterglow? If China was ever to go to war, it would likely be in the form of economic cyber war, buying everything using cyber warfare to get all the inside knowledge before they even make bids for things. This could get real interesting if any of the big security firms (and probably more than one) would own up and flat out tell the rest of the world what China is up to.

But a conventional world war is much more likely, with dwindling resources and economic pressures forcing some countries to do things out of desperation. But no nukes - to set off one of them bad boys would be to essentially admit defeat.

Take this scenario, it is twenty years from now and India is now the most populace country in the world, with a burgeoning population to support and whilst they have grown economically their resource demands are starting to outstrip their supply. Tensions are still running high with Pakistan, although this state is in sheer free-fall both economically and politically, with severe affects of climate change, ongoing internal conflict and almost constant regime change creating a power vacuum. So after yet another atrocity from across the border India decides to enforce a DMZ and no-fly zone, using Pakistan's territory as such a place. They also decide to resume control of the Kashmir region, and flood money (apologies for the phrase) into Bangladesh, essentially buying their support. The powers that are in place in Pakistan are forced to react by placing their own troops at the border, but these are not troops that are loyal to the government but the tribal leaders, and quickly seize upon the opportunity to try and retake Kashmir.

Meanwhile China, having reigned supreme in Asia for a while, sees this movement by India as a direct threat to their works, and a war of diplomatic tit-for-tat ensues. However, during all of this India uncover a number of cyber attacks on government and military networks that originate from China, and they bring the evidence before the UN. The UN however, although quick to condemn any such actions, has no teeth beyond this, so India decides to retaliate, both using cyber warfare, and economically by aiding Tibet in uprising. China sees this as a direct threat to it's sovereignty and places trade and geographical embargoes within the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. The West (particularly Britain) takes this opportunity to invoke a meeting of the UN security council (although this goes nowhere as Russia and China fail to attend) and NATO, getting resolution to provide aid to India.

Now the west is involved, and Australia / NZ, being part of the commonwealth but also having very close ties with China, are forced to tread lightly, but the demands from the Chinese are too much and relations break down. Meanwhile China is invoking all of the power it now holds in Africa to tighten an economic grip on the Eurozone, essentially trying to hold them hostage. The US takes umbrage at this and, despite not being the superpower it once was, is still capable of fielding the most advanced army in the world. Of course the Russians won't allow this (or the UN or any other 'world' government) but by then it's all too late.

I'm hoping you can see where I am heading with this one, it only takes a few screws to go loose in one place, and a few to tighten in others, and this fragile thing we call civilisation could quickly descend into a conventional resource war, but the nukes would never come if you ask me. Unless you mean the cyber-nukes?

[Innsertnamehere]

I agree with the no nukes part. The only time I see a nuke being used would be if north Korea went crazy and decided to launch a nuke at south Korea, Japan, or the US. If this where to happen to any of these countries, they would (hopefully) be shot down by defense systems, and the US would come in and absolutely flatten north Korea.
