With all the speculative world war three threads floating around and the paranoia associated with it, I think we're all overlooking something important. What of the fifth world war? (The fourth world war will be largely forgotten to history, as everyone in the responsible country exploded due to their microwave super weapon malfunctioning, so it only lasted one minute and thirty seconds on high, with a 30 second break whereby the contents were stirred, then it was put back on high for another minute.) Surely this one will be of an even greater magnitude, after all. Who do you think will be involved?

*Claps*

Who will be involved? Everyone...ESPECIALLY Lichtenstein!

I think rival factions of cockroaches would duke it out with one side supporting Cher and the other side supporting Keith Richards.

SATANLAND!!! :mad:

Dont forget the monumental impact Swaziland will bestow in the global theatre in WW5. The population by this time has managed to surpass the AIDS virus but tricks everyone into funding them still. Slowly they build up their stock pile... Unfortunatley their population servable for military is so small it wont matter.

Come now, your average cockroach has more dignity than that.

Aren't we at VI already.

Lets see:

Seven years war......1
Napoleonic Wars.......2
World War I.............3
World War II............4
Cold War.................6

Probably some others, but we should be looking ahead to at least eight or nine.

einstein once said " i know not with what weapons world war 3 will be fought, but world war 4 shall be fought with sticks and stones."

hopefully we'll at least be back up to swords by 5.

I always figured we would be able to get civil war era muskets again by that time.
The problem I have with that quote is how can we have a world war when are technology is Tool Age at best? If our weapons were so primitive, one would assume that transportation would be as well.

*hits you with a stick*

Pass it on.

Gaaaa! I under going moderate pain!

It's going to be Denmark Vs. The Moon!

HaHA!

For it to really be a world war, you can keep on hitting whomever you like, you know.

Nah. Most of the easily extracted minerals have been..well..extracted. A modern industrial base is required to get copper and stuff today. If we smash ourselves back to the stone-age, it'll be a lot harder to get the ball rolling again.

Theres always granite...

Has anybody ever made granite into a weapon? Other then just loading it up in a bomber and dropping it and hoping the kinetic energy would do something I mean.

And the charred remains of civilisation. *nods*

... I thought they used regular stone for that? Its kinda hard to chuck a block(and even harder to shape it into a ball if its granite).

Early cannon balls were made of stone. Stone axe heads would be possible, though difficult to make without non-stone tools. (Which is basically like your bomb idea).

Problem is though, its anisotropic, so its hard to work but has poor structural properties in tension, so it's basically useless for things that carry a bending moment - like swords - or ring sections - like gun barrels.

For the same reason, you can't build most machines from it. (Millstones are about the only example I can think of offhand).

Its basically useless outside of the masonary/kitchen counter/headstone field.

*shrugs* Dunno.

If it were up to me, i'd set corpses on fire and hurl them instead. It's disgusting, evil AND it can burn your enemies keep down.

I'd be the best medieval tyrant.

It's just been revealed to me through a higher power that this thread will be redundant once Unicron devours the planet.

He'll have to go toe-to-toe with almighty Cthulhu.

Now that would be an interesting battle... no matter how whacked out and one sided it would be.

Shouldn't be too hard. Cthulhu is, if I'm not mistaken, existing in a deep sleep in the depths of the Earth.

Unicron is about as big as six Earths and can devour a planet in a single serving. My money's on the Chaos Bringer.

Pass it on.

:p

Ha, that one just made my morning :p. What an awesome idea. Sure that isn't a Monthy Python sketch? Because it really should be.


Oh, the poll? Jesusland. :(

ITs morning over by you? About midnight over hear, I best be getting to bed but I havent done my bloody homework once agian:(

Chuck Norris will win.


He will still be alive because the Grim Reaper will STILL be afraid to tell him he died centuries ago.

World War 5 will be between the US and Red China and may in fact break out at any moment.

Iceland! Rawr!

Iceland! Rawr!

Yes, but Magnus Greel's empire eventually falls when the philipine alliance defeats his army at the gates of reykjavik.

Screw Einstein, I'm counting on (at least) a Mad Max style wasteland, if not a full on Gamma World (did anyone else ever play that?) planet, with millions of laser guns, laser swords, laser rifles, laser CD players, laser eye-surgery machines, laser pointers and laser lasers scattered around the ruins of irradiated cities.
And WW5 will be a 3-way Holy War fought between the Followers of the Great Boxes (a major cult that will worship reconstructed TVs for their legendary powers, both as oracles to ancient humans, and as really big things you can drop off towers onto armies below), the Moon Children (theocracy that controls the moon), and the Worshippers of the Holy Trinity (who worship Dave Thomas, Ronald McDonald, and the Dreaded Burger King).
I don't want to spoil the end for you, but the Followers of the Great Boxes win, as their warriors are driven to suicidal heights of bravery in pursuit of the promised 1,042 Channels that await them in the afterlife.

Not to mention free HBO, and discounted porn and sports PPV.

It was supposed to be 1,072 (like the Islam thing), and HBO (as well as Spice) are understood as part of the package already.
Well, there goes my inciteful parody of religion.

Hmmm...not as far as I know. I wouldn't be surprised if I was beaten to the idea though. :p

Serious question for the host of this Thread and any one else who would like to comment, why the strange nation names on this threa, dont understand?

An NS style post, I voted Cuban empire of course, My NS idea of a Cuban empire, a greater Cuba would be Cuba and Florida, or Cuba takes over the entire West Indies including Florida.

Should this thread belong on the General Forum or The International Forum?

I ask this question because it has inspired me to make a similar Thread and would like to place it in the right place,
I think I will place it in the International Forum, so if you wish please look for it there.

It will appear the Jesusland started the war, but really the were being controlled my the United States of Canada (which will be ruled by The Right Jackassed Dictator Paul "666" Martin). Lets just say the clubbing baby seals was the just the first phase of his Redundant Evil Plan of Doom and Redundancy.

Canadian's have already infilatrated Michigan's government, its only a matter of time before Icleland and the United States presidency falls! No! No!

Just between you and me, Iceland doesn't accually exist. You just think it's there becuase Paull "666" Martin needs you to think it's there.

'twas a joke, my good friend. I created this thread to take off all of the silly speculative World War 3 threads.

Well, Tarja Hallonen told me it existed, and that Icelandic vikings founded the United Soviet Socialist Republics in Kiev, and it was the viking jarls that drove out the Facist Golden Horde along with the Chinese Samuarai Jewish Badgers.

Get out! Are you yanking my chain?!!!
No, my friend, I am not. Grandholm has not only abolsihed the Michigan militia and rolling back all of the Republican reforms Engler set in place, she is slowly conferting all of us Michiganians into Canadians. Soon, we will become a provience of Canada, along with Iceland, that does exist.
Yes, I'm am yanking your chain. *yanks really hard*

Than you Kanabia, I have my inspired Thread on the International Forum now, my idea was a NS World War I
thread, and to vote on which type of nations would win the war, thank you for those kind words, my good friend.

God, no!!! How could this have happened? I'm... devastated! :(

the Klingons would win! don't you know anything about 21st century politics? :rolleyes: ;)

Andorra will win! Together with their allies, Tuvalu.

there is no ww5 aliens would have attack us

After the devestating loss of New New New Orleans, the South American Defense Federation attacks and defeats the Serbo-Afghani Empire in the historic battle of Malmö located in what before the war was the Scandinavian Muslim Kingdom. That leads to an unbalance in powers which leads to total domination by the Australia-Kongo syndicate. If not for the heroic resistance from Tuvalu Inc., the entire world would succumbe to the socialofascist grips of Australia-Kongo.

Australia vs New Zealand, only surviving nations duke it out, yay for isolation.

I say the ANZACS would win :)

What ego! :p

we australians can fight and nz has no military to fight
