Talk:Scenario: World War III (Obama vs. Putin)/@comment-71.219.12.100-20141231211456

The media likes the term "World War III" because it creates lots of attention. Neither Barack Obama nor Vladimir Putin want a nuclear war, because neither of them will win it. Plus, 2015 is too late for WWIII to start. Barack Obama has less than 750 days left in office, and is about to reach an econimic boom for the US at the end of his presidency. If a third World War didn't already start in 2013-2014, no way it'll happen in 2015-2016. Plus, it also won't happen in 2017-2018 either, the next Russian election will be in 2018. The earliest a third world war could possibly happen is 2019-2020, and even that's far from probable.

World War III is more fantasy than reality, it's more of a good topic for the entertainment industry than a real certain political event. A second Cold War is definitely a reality, and is very probable to happen sometime in the second half of the 2010s decade, but a third World War, don't worry about it, keep living your lives like ordinary people.
