There will always be conflicts between countries, these happen for just about every reason and sometimes just because "it needed to happen". Just like there will always be fights between neighbors, family, friends and complete strangers. We all could be better off, if this wasn't true, but it is what it is, with most of us trying to be better people. Same is true with countries, just when things go bad, they can go "really bad". War is a failed situation period, no real winners and always could/should be avoided. Push comes to shoved, I want my country to be capable of prevailing for the betterment of civilized people.
As for World War III, I pray it never happens. We have had two, two to many! Both had devastating impact on a global scale, with families eliminated from this earth forever, survivors that never ever had a chance to accomplish the simplest of "life's dreams". The last world war ended with devastation that was so well planed, demonstrated and repeated for emphasis "for all on this world to witness".
I know we have weapon systems that should prevent a World War III, when properly used can eliminate a enemies "will to fight" by removing the quality of life for their society at increasing levels of extreme discomfort, at a controlled rate for desired outcome. We practice and test the "what if" scenarios, fine tuning our capabilities, as new threats appear. These weapons platforms for now, give us a "upper hand" in preventing a conflict, that can (does) deteriorates into a regional war. We continue to spend our resources on building the largest military might to prevent a World War III (that comes at a great price to us all).
A World War III will lead to a escalated use of Nuclear Weapons. Our defense to this threat is "MAD" Mutual Assured Destruction, this is the plan and why I pray we continue to better the lives of all people, for generations I will never know. I dream those people have learned peace is good and war is bad!
The problem as I see it, how do you prevent a fanatic society, that give very little value to life? A suicide "religious/fanatic" society that doesn't value life and won't care about anyone's quality of life? That have already stated, "we desire and intend to use nuclear devices for our cause! A society that wants to take their people back into "the stone age", threatens to take us all backwards. We will be at war for the rest of my life!
