World War III?
I was reading a question someone asked, sadely all ready resolved that i want to comment on. He asked if anyone thought world war III was still to come.
In a lot of ways we could say we are all ready fighting it.. but unlike World War 2 where it was all at once, were fighting it a little at a time.
I am a writer of military fiction and so i do a lot of looking into whats going on, where and who with.
I think a interview with Tom Clancy in 1996 still pertains today.
China is like a baby with toys. They are surrounded by them but dont know how or what to do with them. It is estimated that they can field (if they really wanted to) a army of 650 million troops.
Lets put it this way if the whoel world was on one side of the battlefield and china was on the other and everyone sent their troiops. we’d still be out numbered.
The good thing is that they dont even have enough weapons (rifles and such) to arm that many) Iran, and N. Korea are my other favorites. Iran wants oil A.H.
I ran out of space on my statment.
Iran has always been a threat to the Middle east. They want the oil. In 1994 Tom Clancy wrote “Debt of Honor” which dealt with a unstable Iraq, and Iran’s run on the oil countries. They say (proffesionals) that the only thing that is stopping Iran (now) is the US guarding Iraq.
When we were about to take out Saddam a few years ago, i made a list of what i expected to happen afterward.
1. Iran would insurgent Iraq
2. Instability in Iraq
3. US will try to keep control
4. VIETNAM 2
5. Iran uses the insurgents to keep Iraq unstable hoping the US will eventually pull out.
6 INVASION
that was created 3 years ago… i’m just waiting on number 5 and 6
N. Korea:
Everyone knows the N. wants the South. Right now I am working on revising a story i wrote 10 years ago (about Russia but starting now with N. Korea and nuclear weapons.
N. Korea probably has nukes up the wazoo. One nuke on tokyo would damage both Japan and the US response.
Imagine if all three countries started trouble at once.
Also there are some that say Germany is still a threat. Now i dont mean Nazis and taking over the world. They dont even need a army to win this one. Germany is one of the biggest economic centers in Europe. Everyone in Europe trades with them. Imagine if Germany stopped trading.
Germany trades with Britian, France, and Russia. Funny thing is that rememeber in World War 1 when Germany wanted to win? they knew if they could control the seas they could starve Britian. Britian relies too much on trade.
Thats still true today.
Shut down trade with all the countries that relie on people like Germany, you got a shut down europe.
Oh and on China.
They might have one of the biggest militaries on earth (definately troop wise) but they lack in technology. Oh they have nukes, if their stupid enough to use em.
But here’s a study on their navy.
In 1996 (and i hear it hasnt gotten much better) their best submarine was said to be 40 years behind in technology compared to the US. They said that a single US Los angelos class attack submarine could take on and eliminate the entire Chinese Navy and probably still have weapons to spare.

i think you are right, the third world war will start like a child play according to the books like Nostordamus, the invasion of Kuwait, by iraqw, the Afghanistan war by the USA, Allied named as intervention of the IRAQ , Allied trying to work out suspension of IRAN, south American not co-operating with the USA, Venezuela, Cuba and 90% Arabia country gonig against the Allied not just USA , mean there are two different allied to already form, the whole book is real it just happening at the exact time Nostrodamus said it, you are right, but you ned to judge from the books before now, you know the fall of Babylon is now the second time, and this is the actual time for the third world war, you know North Korea will never listen to USA, and south korea will never join with north , then the fraction to stop the war is very rare, except the UN made a case study and consult the old books like Prophet Casey of USA, and all other books, remeber Hitler use the book of Nostrodamus during the war, he share the phamplet during the war in UK ,telling them that German has been given the victory long time ago, and that is why he made a slogan war in europe , and not called WORLD WAR, and immediately USA intervene he consult the same book which have said he will lose if the New world intervene and quickly he surrender knowing that is waterloo of the book, i think we have to work with the past to save the future , you are right , not just from economical reason, there are several way of act of war, ECONOMICALLY is enought to kill a continent , you can see from the way America dominate today , and why are we woring over chinese becoming giant,

When WW III Started****1979
This is not very long, but very informative. You have to read the catalogue of events in this brief piece. Then, ask yourself how anyone can take the position that all we have to do is bring our troops home from Iraq, sit back, reset the snooze alarm, go back to sleep, and no one will ever bother us again. In case you missed it, World War III began in November 1979… that alarm has been ringing for years.
US Navy Captain Ouimette is the Executive Officer at Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida. Here is a copy of the speech he gave last month. It is an accurate account of why we are in so much trouble today and why this action is so necessary.
AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP!
That’s what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001 (When more than 3,000 Americans were killed -AD) and maybe it was, but I think it should have been “Get Out of Bed!” In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then.
It was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going through a religious and political upheaval when a group of Iranian students attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran. This seizure was an outright attack on American soil; it was an attack that held the world’s most powerful country hostage and paralyzed a Presidency. The attack on this sovereign U. S. embassy set the stage for events to follow for the next 25 years.
America was still reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience and had a serious threat from the Soviet Union when then, President Carter, had to do something. He chose to conduct a clandestine raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended in ruin, but stood as a symbol of America’s inability to deal with terrorism.
America’s military had been decimated and down sized/right sized since the end of the Vietnam War. A poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was doomed from the start.
Shortly after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped and killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little to protect her citizens living and working abroad. The attacks against US soil continued.
In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut When it explodes, it kills 63 people. The alarm went off again and America hit the Snooze Button once more.
Then just six short months later in 1983 a large truck heavily laden down with over 2500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen are killed. America mourns her dead and hit the Snooze Button once more.
Two months later in December 1983, another truck loaded with explosives is driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait, and America continues her slumber.
The following year, in September 1984, another van was driven into the gate of the US Embassy in Beirut and America slept.
Soon the terrorism spreads to Europe. In April 1985 a bomb explodes in a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid.
Then in August 1985 a Volkswagen loaded with explosives is driven into the main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rhein-Main, 22 are killed and the snooze alarm is buzzing louder and louder as US interests are continually attacked.
Fifty-nine days later in 1985 a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro is hijacked and we watched as an American in a wheelchair is singled out of the passenger list and executed.
The terrorists then shift their tactics to bombing civilian airliners when they bomb TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986 that killed 4 and the most tragic bombing, Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in1988, killing 259.
Clinton treated these terrorist acts as crimes; in fact we are still trying to bring these people to trial. These are acts of war.
The wake up alarm is getting louder and louder.
The terrorists decide to bring the fight to America. In January 1993, two CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
The following month, February 1993 , a group of terrorists are arrested after a rented van packed with explosives is driven into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people are killed and over 1000 are injured. Still this is a crime and not an act of war? The Snooze alarm is depressed again.
Then in November 1995 a car bomb explodes at a US military complex in Riyadh Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women.
A few months later in June of 1996, another truck bomb explodes only 35 yards from the US military compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It destroys the Khobar Towers, a US Air Force barracks, killing 19 and injuring over 500. The terrorists are getting braver and smarter as they see that America does not respond decisively.
They move to coordinate their attacks in a simultaneous attack on two US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.. These attacks were planned with precision. They kill 224. America responds with cruise missile attacks and goes back to sleep.
The USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling on 12 October 2000 , when a small craft pulled along side the ship and exploded killing 17 US Navy Sailors. Attacking a US War Ship is an act of war, but we sent the FBI to investigate the crime and went back to sleep.
And of course you know the events of 11 September 2001. Most Americans think this was the first attack against US soil or in America. How wrong they are. America has been under a constant attack since 1979 and we chose to hit the snooze alarm and roll over and go back to sleep.
In the news lately we have seen lots of finger pointing from very high officials in government over what they knew and what they didn’t know. But if you’ve read the papers and paid a little attention I think you can see exactly what they knew. You don’t have to be in the FBI or CIA or on the National Security Council to see the pattern that has been developing since 1979.
I think we have been in a war for the past 25 years and it will continue until we as a people decide enough is enough. America needs to “Get out of Bed” and act decisively now. America has been changed forever.. We have to be ready to pay the price and make the sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues. We cannot afford to keep hitting the snooze button again and again and roll over and go back to sleep.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto said “… it seems all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant.” This is the message we need to disseminate to terrorists around the world.
This is not a political thing to be hashed over in an election year this is an AMERICAN thing. This is about our Freedom and the Freedom of our children in years to come.
