Is third world war coming?
-
Read in a news article that, China is spending almost 50 billion dollars on defense for this year which is larger than US. Not able to understand why that much...is there 3rd world war on the way...
$50 billion?? That's NOTHING in the U.S. defense budget. That gets you a couple of toilet seats and about a months supply of toilet paper. The U.S. spends on the order of $650B plus every year on defense. Oh, and China spends more than $50 billion, so I serisously question where you're getting your numbers from.

This is the easiest question to answer: YES. We don't know when neither how, but it is coming little by little... :rolleyes:

That's the data for 2013 and this info is for 2014 :-)
If you think the US will go from close to $700B to less than $50B this year ... you have another thing coming.

Some Politician Somewhere:
After speaking with military advisers... we've decided to skip the third world war and go right on into the fourth. This should save the tax payers billions.
:-D ;P

Fairly standard, the USA has had the largest "defence" budget for many years, and been involved in more "defences" than every other country - either directly, or by funding terrorist organisations to do their dirty work. From the rest of the world's perspective, this is aggression and terrorism (the definition of which is using violence as a form of coercion to achieve political ends). It should be no surprise that the US has itself become a target of terrorism.

Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
