Do you think Russia will join the war against us to begin a World War III?

Russia lacks the organization and infrastructure at this time to be able to make war with the U.S.  Their military efforts at this time are focussed on neocolonial attempts to influence states like Armenia and Kazakhstan.  We may be working our way to a renewal of the Cold War, but Russia just isn't equipped for an actual military conflict outside its current sphere of influence at this time.

I kinda think he'd play a major role in World War 3, but he'd need a lot of help. Even if he bombed Isreal today, everyone in the world would gang up on him, probably. He'd need more support from more powerful countries before he could start a war, kind of like how the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand only led to the First World War because Russia supported the Slavs that Austria-Hungary was oppressing. Maybe if the modern Russians take military measures to protect Iran, then if Iran nukes Isreal and gets counter-attacked by America in turn with Russian troops in Iran, maybe then we'll get World War 3.

YES! Russia gave a verbal agreement to Iran and other Muslim nations that they will defend Islamic interests back in December of last year.\nChina is in agreement and has Russia's back. You do the math.

It is a very realistic and good question my dear friend...\n\nMy answer (opinion) will be "Yes".\nBut the fate of U.S.A will be more grieve than Russia.Because as you know lot's of enemy of U.S waiting for a weak point.Lot's of promise of revenge,lot's of hatred and enemy...U.S have to be careful...\n\nRussian system and culture is very different than U.S.A.I have been in Moscow.It is a lovely city...You have to see people,metro stations,museums and buildings...\nIf they don't want to talk no body can talk them.If they want to kill you.They kill you :) They have no details.\nIf they want to do sometihng.They do it.No lie,no acting.That's very simple.\n\nU.S.A will finish itself...

the reason why europe has been starting world wars is that they were the most advanced countries in the past and moreover europe being a congested continent with the countries so close to each other, they always had an issue with each other and with so many of them involved things used to become very tricky.\n\nanyways i think that the third world war would  not be started by europe.  it would most probably start from asia with the US playing a key role(not in positive sense)

Hahaha! I like the spirit but perhaps this should be answered by someone unbiased and neutral.. that's me!\n\nWhile the USSR was truly mighty once upon a time, currently the strongest military force on the planet is the USA, whether you like it or not. Russia still has a formidable arsenal but they are certainly not as powerful as the US of A. Also, their economy will not be able to bear the strain of a full fledged modern conflict and so the USA it is again.

TJ Says:\nEarthschoes I seriously believe we will go nuclear. If Iran even thinks about launching, well they know Isreal will blow them off the map. If Iran tries to sneak a nuke in the US and succeeds, well Iran will get wipe off the face of the Earth, even if Russia and China try to stop us.\n\nAnd it looks to me like we are near WW3.\nBRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!

Yes if they continue with what they are doing and produce a bomb then it will be a World War but a very short one. With every nuclear nation hitting them at the same time. They will end up being a glowing hole in the ground.

If the Russians  or the Chinese don't talk some sense into them the I am afraid that we will do something, maybe bomb them off of the face of the earth. I hope not because nothing comes to no good out of war. I have seen a few and nobody really wins. As for the draft it is highly likely especially with the repuglicans in power.

I'm sure the USA would never be so stupid as to get into a war with Iran. \n\nDoes anyone really think we could withstand a war against Iran when China and Russia will back Iran? I'm not sure if N.Korea would get into it but for sure it would be WWIII.

I doubt if a WW III would happen, however if the US attacks Iran it can anticipate the following things. \nWe will start losing oil tankers in the gulf,  The war in Iraq will boil over into something many times worse than it is now, terrorits acts from groups such as Hezbollah and covert Iranian operations will happen with great frequency, and maybe in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.\nThe price of oil will become astronomical and tens of thousands will be no longer employed as the airlines, hotels and spin off industries go into bankruptcy.  Oil will go from 100 to 300 dollars a barrel.\n\nAnd the sad thing is there in no need for the US to do this.

I fear we are on the verge of a war like none we have ever seen before. All the modern wars of the world combined into one gigantic battle is on the horizon. Nations are going to rise up against other nations who, at one point, were their allies. And within nations, groups are going to rise against other groups in unparalleled civil war. Allies will rise up to assist, only to turn on their comrades.

The next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. \n\nThat will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships. \n\nThat will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 \n\nNow after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible. \n\nEurope will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. After things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place. The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. \n\nDuring these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers. \n\nWhen all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.

of course, it is only a matter of time before we find something to fight about on a world war level.  WWIII is inevitable, just like the sun rising, poverty, finding out Santa isn't real, and Google becoming the next big monopoly.

I've been questioning their support of Iran, France, and the former leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. I know Russia needs money and that need dictates much of what they do. But I'm also very wary that they may have ulterior motives. And I think our Pentagon is aware as well.
