America is one powerful country that likes to interfere in other countries’ political affairs. Will the United States of America (USA) Start World War III? What Happens if the United States of America (USA) Starts World War III?

Some people say the Covid-19 global pandemic is the biological version of World War 3.

What causes World War III speculations?

The killing of IRGC commander General Soleimani on the directives of former US president Donald Trump marked a new low in the already strenuous, US-Iran relations. As the White House and the Pentagon confirmed the death of Iran’s powerful military head, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei vowed “harsh vengeance”, the news triggered the concerns of a dramatic escalation of conflict between the two countries, on social media, netizens shared memes to make the light of the situation–making the phrase ‘World War 3’ trend on Twitter.

What Happens if United States of America (USA) Start World War III?

The US really looked dangerous under the presidency of Donald Trump. And it’s possible that Trump would come back to the White HOUSE in 2024. North Korea’s rogue regime reportedly owns dangerous weapons of mass destruction including intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the USA.

World War III or the Third World War, often abbreviated as WWIII or WW3, are names given to a hypothetical third worldwide large-scale military conflict that could follow the Second and First World War.

What If the U.S. Started World War 3 under Trump’s second term? What would happen to less technologically developed countries like Ghana?

Who would the U.S. attack first? Could we use robot soldiers? Or would nuclear power win the day? What is adaptive camouflage, and what are other kinds of modern warfare that could be used?

It really haunts me as a young person what kind of future these leaders are going to give us. A scorched, suffocating and unhabitable planet.

WW3 casualty breakdown estimates

Total nuclear exchange between belligerent powers could potentially involve in its entirety detonations in excess of 100k megatons over significant portions of the northern hemisphere. Initial death toll within 24 hours is estimated at 300-500 million with variances dependent on use of fallout shelters and evacuation procedures.

Past this point, casualties would continue to increase as a further 1-2 billion are expected to succumb to radiation poisoning and cancer in the proceeding weeks and months. A substantial number of these fatalities are expected outside the belligerent powers as radioactive particles are spread globally via atmospheric currents.

Secondarily, a nuclear winter resulting from the injection of soot, particularly black carbon entering the upper atmosphere is expected to lower global temperatures between 11C to 22C for a period of 3-5 years under optimistic projections with some modeling showing global temperatures being affected for periods extending several decades.

The result of this drastic temperature change is expected to deplete farm yields in excess of 80-90% causing a further 4-6 billion global fatalities due to starvation. Casualty variation will be highly dependent on proper use of food stocks and rationing from the remaining populace. The majority of industrial fertilizer and farm equipment manufacturing that is responsible for the consequential increase in farm yields of the past century is located within the belligerent countries’ territories.

Studies estimating planetary carrying capacity using pre-industrial farming techniques provide a range of 600-800 million as sustainable in terms of global population. And with the majority of arable farmland located within the impacted northern hemisphere. Along with the effects of nuclear winter, planetary carrying capacity would be reduced further still.

With some modeling predicting as few as 50-100 million being sustainable. In addition, ocean fauna would also be dangerous to consume as rain/snow runoff funnels radioactive material along with debris containing large concentrations of lead and other heavy elements into coastal waters. With the destruction of much of the northern hemisphere, global trade would for all intents and purposes cease to function.

As all major ports, navigable rivers and highways within the belligerent states intersect economic zones that would now be impassable due to radioactive contamination and debris. As per UN food sustainability studies, between 58%-62% of countries are dependent on food imports. Even within countries classified as food sustainable, estimates put 70%-74% of populations farther than 200 km of their respective food producing regions.

A further strain on food distribution would be the loss of major fuel refining facilities based in the impacted countries. Fuel shortages would compound already strained food stocks leading to a breakdown in the supply chain. Under these conditions, remaining governments would face a monumental task in attempting to maintain law and order, Possibly resulting in the breakdown of civil society and extreme lawlessness in most of the world.

Rate of homicides during this period can’t be calculated with certainty but is expected to be significant. Lastly, the majority of pharmaceutical manufacturing for both antiviral and antibiotics, along with medical equipment is produced by the belligerent countries. Loss of these facilities would compound the spread of disease along with the subsequent conditions, further adding to the substantial number of unpredictable deaths.

It is outside the scope of this summary to predict a time frame for the reemergence of civilized societies and or nation states. Final estimate for a total nuclear exchange is between 5.3 to 7.7 billion casualties. With a moderate chance of complete human extinction. A strange game, the only winning move is not to play. Sometimes it hurts the most when political rivalry affects the innocent people of one nation.. and I hope World War III won’t be happening anytime soon.

Well, if we don’t sort out our economies world wide and ourselves as people it probably WWIII could happen, the war economy hasn’t stopped but as humans we should think about the future of all of us, if it does nobody wins. Superpowers like Russia, China, UK, USA, Japan, and North Korea all possesses ultramodern weapons of mass destruction that could eventually invite the outbreak of the third world war.
