WE already had World War III.
It was so called ''cold war'' between America and USSR.
Now, we have war against terrorism but not World war.
It's true that Putin fight against West and America, but it's not war about ideology any more.
It's more about economy, resources and global influence.
So, current conflict we can't call World War really.
They will even cooperate against global terrorism, if needed.

Well for a war to become a World War it needs to be on a world scale. War in between two or maybe tree or more countries doesn't necessarily need to be World War. And i can't agree with you when you say that Cold War was World War III, because it was only America and USSR, not on world scale don't you agree. There are all kind of war out there, but till now we only had two World Wars, hope it will not come to a third.

I certainly don't think the cold war is war, but I want to remind you that it involved many countries. On the side of America, all NATO countries, and on the side of the Soviet Union all the countries of the Warsaw Pact.

Well than i was partially wrong, and for that i apologize. It seams there are somethings that i didn't know about Cold War, and it would be good to check it out. Well after all only fool knows everything, and i have a lot to learn still. Speaking with other people is good way of learning if you ask me, there is a lot to learn from right people, and so much interesting things you can hear Cheesy

. Thanks for reminding me to that.

Cold war just means that America and Nato didn't have real war directly with USSR and all the countries of the Warsaw Pact.
But, in Africa and Asia, in the same time, many local wars happened.
Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Egypt etc.
In all this wars, in fact, USSR and America chose sides and gave military and other support.
USSR even invited Afghanistan.
Do you remember great crisis in Cuba, in 1962?
We was very close to the start of nuclear war.
So, we had many local wars as part of cold war conflict between America and Russia.
Fortunately, they was smart enough to avoid direct conflict.
