Personally speaking, I believe it will be between the US (duh) and Russia. Not souley speaking as a Russophile, but honestly, with the Medvedev/Putin Alliance, I can only see bad things coming for the both of our countries.

And how would the relic of the Russian Military stand a chance? What the fuck would Ukraine do? Let you through? Join You? Khazikstan? belerous? The Bering Straight? Add canada with America and Perhaps UK and others.

Red Dawn was good action flick. But its not realistic.

Nukes? okay so your all dead....good call. WTF?

I completely agree with you. It's amazing how Americans are completely clueless and do not know a single thing about Russia, its politics or its people.

Why would Russia care what the CIS would do...and the answer is NOTHING. Like the Ukraine is actually going to do something, you apparently forget that their entire country's gas is supplied by Russia (seeing as how Russia turns it off once in a while). Belarus...they pretty much have a dictator in power, so I'm betting they would side with Russia. Who says it would be a conventional military altercation? Even if it was, the U.S. is currently spread all over the world, with barely any friends. Even if Russia is not ready at the moment, you're incredibly blind to think it won't be in the future.

Well nice to the see the Russians are stupid and insane as the Americans. I dont care where they get any fuel from. Your crazy to think these nations would just let your through. That would make them targets and acciomplises to your invasion. They wont be part of it. Any conventionla war would recquire you to get to these nations. There is no way in hell you can.

Any nuclear exchange is nothing but mass genocide/sucide by the nations involved. for all your shit talking during the duriing cold war not even that piece of shit Kruschev had the balls for that. I sincerly doubt any of you do now. The Globe isnt a chessboard and you donkey rapers are land locked and it will stay that way.

Italins are not the people to ask about modern warfare.

World War between the two countries? Russia couldn't afford the Cold War . . . and if it was "Hot War" it woudl have to be very quick, because they couldn't afford that either. Russia is not interested in any way, let alone a world war with the world's lone (currently) superpower.

Ummm . . . yeah, they already have - twice in the past century. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, that will ALWAYS be the case in geopolitical issues.

It’s ironic that the U.S. wants to democratize the world and when given a chance after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it completely ignores the newly created democracy. And people wonder why when Putin came to power, Russia reverted to statism instead??? It’s because democracy and the West have proven to be unreliable, which is an obvious cause of the tensions, particularly between the U.S. and Russia. Russia is not simply just going to forgive and forget.
You didn't say anything post Cold-War history, which is less than twenty years old by the way, but you probably already knew that since you are a history scholar.

It isn't democracy and the West which have proved unreliable, it is the Russian ledership and their poor economy which has proven to be unreliable. There are examples of nations who have embraced democracy after having no experience with it previously and they have been successful. Russia's failures have very little to do with the West or democracy. It also isn't the West's or democracy's fault that Putin wants Russia to be more autocratic, his statist policies have more to do with him wanting more control than anything else.

World War 3 is gonna start with a massive amount of minor small conflicts in the Third world and escalate to the major powers. As most political scientists would agree.

I can see a Socialist Revolution in South American Nations being a catalyst for a war in the Americas. Perhaps pan-islamism could get the ball rolling in the Middle East and Asia. Full European Hegemony by the EU, is all it will take to get Russia aggressive again.

who the fuck can say the specifics, for sure. In the end, it will lead to Global Governance, whether we like it or not.

I can see competing power blocs in South America. Capitalistic Nations vs Socialist Nations. The EU may gobble up whats left of Eastern Europe, and expand into Asia Minor... Thus putting pressure on Russia. Who knows when China will finnish their invasion of Bhutan and what they "claim" is Chinese Territory in India. Remember, if China wants to invade something, they make up some absurd claims about historical ownership of the area...

Maybe they will start saying. Canada is, was and always will be a part of China in a few decades...
