Title basically says it all. Would it depend if it was the US, Russia or China starting it?
We’ll all be on the losing side, that’s for sure.
Unfortunately spot on.
I’m on the side of the poor, weak, disabled and oppressed.
Well, the cool thing about life is that despite humans making up stories that declare themselves the pinnacle of it, when every human is wiped out, life won’t care and will flourish without them mucking up the works.
Edited title to reflect the question is about countries, the groups that actually control the militaries, vs demographic groups.
That is everyone in my orbit. F yeah 🙌!
That depends on when it will break out. If it’s tomorrow, China and Russia will be buddies or at the very least will be in a non-aggression pact situation. Most of Europe will side against Russia but might be more mealy mouthed towards China (even if they decide to start it by going after Taiwan and that escalates from there). The US will, as it is tradition in a world war, not enter until much later or unless attacked first. And on whose side? Depends on one person’s bowel movement on that day an no longer on treaties and commitments. One of the many crucial areas to watch will be if the US honors the security alliance with Japan.
I say it depends on when because if we give it another 25-50 years, attitudes may shift. The US could try going for a more sane leadership and affirm its NATO membership. Sentiments towards Russia may shift in Europe, especially if the US is progressing further towards Idiocracy.
The US will be bankrolling Russia. Russia is weak and poor. The only reason they’re still in Ukraine is China. And once they’ve conquered that, the US will happily help them invade the rest of Europe.
If WWIII breaks out we’re all gonna fucking die. Will there be any countries left after 24 hours?
new Zealand
Isn’t there a movie with that premise? They survive but have to watch over a few months as radiation in the northern hemisphere works its way south. They’re already dead but have to wait months for it to happen
Had to look this up is it On the beach?
You got it!
Good chance yes non-aligned nations.
I’m from New Zealand. We’ve traditionally been a US ally but the situation being what it is at the moment, I think there’s a good chance we’d try to stay neutral.
New Zealand will go where its billionaire expat refugee community tells it to go.
It will not be a war between the major super powers but a break up of the globe along those lines.
The US will continue its war on South American, mainly Venezuela right now. Russia will continue to chip away at the EU and push into their territory. China will take Taiwan, but mainly just focus on making money off both fronts. Africa will continue to be exploited by US/Russia/China.
I’m on the side of the Vietnamese
Pho around and find out.
If the U.S. started the Great War Part III, it would probably be due to an invasion/takeover of a Russian-aligned country (e.g. Iran)
If Russia began the third big one, it would probably be due to either a) invasion of another European country (e.g. Finland, the Baltics) or b) some huge scandal that may or may not be truthful where American/European/NATO/whatever spies are found in Russian soil, prompting a justification to declare war.
If China were to start the war, it would almost certainly begin with either the hot topics of Taiwan or the South China Sea. I doubt the Chinese would risk a war for either though, and would only go in when the U.S. are distracted in some other war (e.g. if Trump goes in on Venezuela)
edit: or it could be over natural resources. Again.
China would go to war to protect their energy supply. If the US and Russia+Saudi team up its game on. Looks what’s happening now…
Wars over natural resources have unfortunately always been a thing with humans. Especially troubling given that we have created all sorts of fun ways to destroy entire populations…
I started out when Barry didn’t like that Kyle got a larger share of the hunt than him, and they beat each other with a stick or something idk. Now we have the biggest of big bombs, the deadliest chemical and biological weapons, super fast fighter jets, etc.
The empire-ambitious Axis of convenience: US, Israel, India, China, Russia, various Islamic kingdoms etc vs. whoever is willing to get in their way.
Canada, Europe, Ukraine vs Russia and Belarus
America, Japan, Taiwan vs China and North Korea.
Israel will use the opportunity to fully genocide Palestine, expand into Lebanon and Syria sparking a regional conflict there.
India vs. Pakistan
In practice, some countries will lose rapidly once the nukes fly and a lot of people will die.
It’ll be a cold war against the US. Europe and Latin America vs China, Middle East, Africa.
The US will probably just dissolve into civil war
I call vice president I’m freaky enough to do it
I’m not sure about country alliances, but I do know that both the US and PRC will declare me as an enemy and “traitor”.
I’m gonna go through what Japanese Americans experienced during WW2
Ever been to Vietnam? It’s quite nice, and they’re going to remain neutral in any coming conflict.
Come up north.
They’ll happily take my nursing degree but I’m not leaving without hubs and he has an old weed-related charge that would probably impair immigration to another country.
Even a country where weed is legal?
Maybe I’m being pessimistic but I’m pretty sure the immigration paperwork is gonna ask “has he been convicted of a crime” and not “has he been convicted of a real crime?”
They will ask that, but there’s often space to explain because of things like this and political prisoners. I’m not sure how Canada’s forms work and if he was convicted of something closer to selling multiple pounds to minors than simple possession*, that probably wouldn’t fly no matter what, but it’s definitely worth a shot.
*intent to sell is also determined very differently in different countries- in Germany, for example, having a scale stored with your supply or having multiple strains of weed in separate bags would not bump you up to intent to sell, but it does in the US
I doubt they’ll let me stay long term outside of the visa free X number of days
Not enough proof
Just stay close to the border and slip through when they will start interring other Asians.
The “sides” that the countries take is of secondary importance. Capital will benefit from any conflict, no matter what the stated sides are, and suffer minimally. That’s the true enemy

Honestly my money is kind of on the US starting the next one.
