Where do you feel WWIII will erupt, if it does? Why will skirmishes boil over the rim into a war involving Allied Nations?

I think WWIII has been going on, at a simmer, since shortly after WWII. That being said, it could be argued that just about every conflict since 1918 had roots somewhere in WWI.

The U.S. intends to build a wall along its southern border with Mexico to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the nation. The cost is $34 billion and Government wants to use Veteran Medical Program funding to pay for this wall. Can veterans lobby Government against cutting their medical benefits?
India is being squeezed by China and Pakistan to further split India. In this move, Pakistan uses terrorists and other militants to cause India internal conflict. It began with SIMI and then, IM and now, the militants are from ISIS, ISIL and the Haqqani Group. Even ISI agents have been caught by Indian authorities. The War against Terrorism seems to have failed miserably here. The U.S. imposes sanctions against Pakistan, but Pakistan overcomes this by signing $62 billion in contracts with China to develop Pakistan. Has the U.S. lost a major base in the Indian subcontinent and the UAE region?
Russia has chosen Putin as its Premier, perhaps for life, indirectly. Russia begins rebuilding the former Soviet Union backstage. An empire that once was may breathe life again, which can be a blow to democracy.
China has chosen its Premier for life and this leader has already embarked on a journey to conquer the world economies; it has plans to change the world order to a previous era.
North Korea meets China and then, North Korea agrees to meet U.S. to discuss peace. Prior to that, North Korea meets with the ROK. Is North Korea a puppet of China, who is pitching China's new policy?
Piece the puzzle together and add the missing links. Where is war most likely to start; where is pressure about to blow over the rim?

I disagree, the same thing was said after WWI and look what happened. We will have WWIII. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. To say A World War is not going to happen is to make the same mistakes we made before WWII.

Project 302 - a story of how a new world order has emerged over Mother Earth and the global powers are divided between the ULN and the SUCCA. There is a third order MAO, but not a soul has actually seen its leader; he is elusive and a recluse, but maintains control over his states from afar. Scientific innovation takes center-stage at Battleground Zero and the Nobel prize winner is MAO, who restores peace and reverses the World Order. Read Project 302 - The Trend, after its launch.

I don't believe a world war is extremely likely, but there are a number of conflicts that might spill into something bigger. There are 3 main flash points in the world. 1. The DPRK. I think the regime will collapse on itself in the next 50 years. The potential conflict will be over racing to collect their weapons before they reach the black market.
2. South China Sea. There are several competing claims to the sea and China is actively building islands to claim exclusive economic rights to their "traditional Chinese waters". I don't see this happening because China is dependent on trade with the west to survive. It might just end with small boarder skirmishes that never escalate to open conflict.
3. The middle East. The kingdom of Saud and Iranian Republic are in a cold war over regional control. It could spark open conflict if one side or the other thinks they can win. Of all the potential hotspots, this one is the most likely to escalate to a world war. I do think that the 5 permanent members of the UN security council have a vested interest in quashing any conflict before it gets too large. This makes me think a world war would still be unlikely.

PO2 David Dunlap I'm confused about how the bible factors into a conversation about escalating conflict. Also, if you meant 3000-4000 years, write it like this or 3-4 thousand. 3/4 thousand years makes it seem as though you're saying 750 years.

I suspect that WWIII will begin during a fight between Israel and Iran, or Israel and Syria. Russia built a joint military base within 5-miles of Israel's border.

I'm going with China. I think it might be some time before it happens however team Russia (Iran, Syria) and team China (P'Stan and NK) will be the new axis of evil in WWIII. Battle space will be ME and South Pacific.

South Pacific; is there any evidence to lend credence to your presumption SPC David S.?
Pending indications that South Pacific will play battlefield in WWIII, I submit for a review of skirmishes along the Indo-Pakistan International Border (LoC) and Sino-Indo Line of Actual Control (LAC). Both borders are arbitrary lines constructed in haste by the departing colonial British East India Company to promote religious segregation and divide the vast and rich Indian landscape using religion to sow infighting due to religious discrimination between Hindu, Sikhs, Muslims and Christians. The LoC would divide India and Pakistan. East Bengal was separated from India and made a part of Pakistan by the colonial British with redesignation as East Pakistan, only later to gain independence from Pakistan and become Bangladesh. To the North, along the International Boundary between India and China, known as the McMahon Line, China claims ownership of Arunachal Pradesh, but India has kept China from invading India. Along the LAC in Ladakh in Kashmir, in 1962, India and China went to war. China wanted to redefine the MacCarthy Line further into Indian territory to the Karakoram Range. However, India denied China any more than Akshai Chin. China wants to expand the OBOR and the MEAL, which India doesn't subscribe.

I've been working with a team on this IARPA project called the GF Challenge 2 as well a number of previous projects IARPA has run. Lots of multiple regression modeling but China pops up a lot in any next big geopolitical conflict.
China most definitely has a war plan drawn up and I suspect the island building in the region is part of it. Guessing nuke fallout from Japan and US being a part of their logic in their location. Still working on the odds of them engaging via nukes as their nuclear doctrine of “no first use” is somewhat of a mystery as there are a lot of “If's” and “should's” in it.

Russia or China within the next 5 years China is in such need of real estate they will start with an EMP, then throw a couple of hundred thousand troops at us

I love the analysis SPC Robert Coventry; indeed, China will use its loan scam to lure ignorant nations into its web under OBOR and MSR initiatives. Like Sri Lanka and Pakistan, once the ignorant nations cannot repay those high interest loans then, China will takeover the ports and cities included in its contract, similar to Hambantota, Colombo and Gwadar. However, this time the target nation will be of interest to the US as well.

WWIII was over in December 91, and WWIV is ongoing. WWV will definitely be Asia-centric with Eastern European influence.

Super response, SGT (Join to see); except that we are discussing real versus an imaginary world.

CPT Gurinder (Gene) Rana In the real world, the Cold War (WWIII) ran from 1945 until 1991. There were some hot spots in the cold war that you might recognize like Korea and Vietnam, but there were also many incidents that went unrecorded on the public record, as well as thousands of casualties from the sustained high optempo throughout the period between the hot spots. The last 10 years of the Cold War saw more than 1000 deaths of service members every year. Those thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries in 46 years of service in the Cold War are far from imaginary, yet have been totally discounted and disregarded by government for decades.
The current world war has also involved just about every major power that there is, and could be said to have started as the Cold War ran down. From Desert Shield/Storm to present day operations, we have again paid a great price in terms of service members, capital, and international relations. This war, and it's costs, are not imaginary.
The next war, which at this time IS imaginary by virtue of being speculation, will likely be even bigger, and more Asia-centric than the current one.
