“The population of China right now is 1,443,145,867 so if they lose 500 million, they will still have nearly 950 million people. That’ll put them behind India. But on the other hand, there will be less constraints imposed due to overpopulation.”
When our politicians and state department set up WW3, it most likely will be a non nuclear war. In WW2 two ruthless leaders on the Eastern Front, sent their armies into a meat grinder. Both leaders were familiar with the technology used in WW1, yet they declined to use chemical and biological weapons on the battle fields of Eurasia.
The leaders I’m talking about were Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler.
The weapons that will gain attention in the next 15 to 25 years(my prediction for the next “big one”) will be a variety of conventional missiles, that will terrorize people,air travel,sea travel, and cities.
That fat kid in N. Korea has good missiles. Russia and China missiles are even better.(plus Russia & China are low cost producers unlike are inflated military contractors)
I'll like to read more about that. We all know about the horrors of WW1. But how were Hitler and Stalin able to restrain themselves using from WMDs?

Most likely we'll see something like Vietnam War or what's happening in Syria or Ukraine right now. Great powers such as USA, Russia and China might attack each other but mostly by proxy. We will see special forces. Drones. Plenty of places to stir things up. But it's unlikely to be conventional like what we saw during both World Wars.
