“If you think what is going on in the world is “World War III” ... then you don’t know what a World War is ... LOL ...”
Star Traveler, what is it that you see going on and why do you consider this poster not knowledgeable?
All you have to do is look at World War II and see if we’re even close to the military actions going on back then. We’re nowhere even close to the kind of stuff going on then.
We had a large number of countries going against Iraq (several times), and no one has called that a World War. Israel has been attacked many times and that wasn’t referred to as a World War. We’ve been involved in Afghanistan for the longest war in the history of this country, and that’s not referred to as World War.
We gathered together some counties to go after Libya, and that wasn’t a World War.
There will be all sorts of these kinds of local wars going on and none of them are World Wars, no matter how many of them happen, one after the other. Israel might be attacked once again by multiple Arab countries and that will not be a World War, just as the previous attacks on Israrl were not a World Wars.
When you get multiple countries of the world, lined up, each on two sides, and the entire Western civilization faces big land losses, like France disappearing, or half the USA gone because the other side holds that territory, or England has been taken over by the other side, and a few aircraft carriers have been destroyed, plus possibly some submarines destroyed and maybe a few of our cities have been nuked and the civilian loss of life is from 10 to 50 million or more dead ... THEN you’ve got yourself a World War worthy of the name ... :-) ...
