World War 3?

Could World War 3 breakout sometime in the near future? Japan is at risk of being blown to shreds by the North Koreans. The U.S. is trying to help prevent the threat by sending 2 more AEGIS ballistic missile defense ships to Japan by 2017. This would bring our Japan-based fleet of BMD-capable ships to a total of 7 missile defense ships to Japan. In recent weeks, North Korea has tested a series of missile launches and due to criticism from the U.S., they have said that they are preparing to test another nuclear device. Japan is also trying to do their part to help protect themselves as they are establishing a second missile defense radar site in Kyoto. Not only does Japan have a struggling relationship with North Korea, but China as well. China and Japan are also under strain over a set of small, uninhabited island chain in the East China Sea, which has led to encounters between the two sides' ships and planes.

I think it is smart of us to send more ships to help protect Japan but I think they need to be hurried over there. I think North Korea needs to rethink what their plan is because this could lead to a nuclear war in which they would probably be wiped off the face of the Earth.

Do you think World War 3 could outbreak in this situation? Will the 2 extra ships be too late by 2017? What do you think should happen with the islands?

  • Well done!

  • North Korea is crazy. they probably have nothing to lose by starting a nuclear war, because their lives are already terrible. But I hope they don't

  • I think it could happen but i hope it doesn't they are just threatning japan.

  • A lot of bad things can happen in three years and i really hope it is not to late. Cause WW3 would be catastrophic especially nowadays with all the nuclear weapons.

  • I think 2017 is a long time. Hopefully they wont be to late. Especially with a unpredictable country like North Korea. Hopefully this situation doesn't get worse.

    • Ya, a lot can happen before 2017 so hopefully it is long enough.

  • I think there could be a world war 3 like the us will get involved and shoot people and by 2017 it will be to late 

  • I just hope that it breaks out in about 4 years so that way I get to fight in it. WW3 is more likely to break out on the other side of Europe because of Russians invading Ukraine. They would most likely loose the islands to other countries or be sunk.

    • Ya WW3 is a possibility over there too.

  • A world war 3 would be awful. Some people don't understand what this war is capable of.
