Talk:Scenario: World War III/@comment-208.102.237.129-20140303064209

It would never get this far. WWIII will be nuclear. This will either happen early from smaller agressors making bold moves (NK, Iran/Israel) or much later when the superpowers start getting desperate. Do you honestly think either Russia or the U.S. would stand by while their country was invaded when they both have ~5,000 nuclear warheads? Regardless, once one nuke goes, they all go and no one is safe. Of the three world powers the U.S. could probably outlast a nuclear war the best because we have the most domestic resources to keep our AF and Navy going, but there wouldn't be much to claim (or anyone left to fight). Western Europe could be relatively unharmed, which would solidify NATO/U.S. power, and these countries would probably carry on the torch while America rebuilds.
