Question:-

Do you think World war three, or at least a massive exchange of nuclear weapons will start in your lifetime?

I am not filled with optimism personally.

No, not in the sense of nuclear war that people imagined in the early '80s.

What worries me more is nuclear terrorism. frown

I don't think there will be a massive world nuclear war, but I do think it is a possibility that Iran and maybe N Korea may involve nuclear weapons at some stage.

But trying to predict this kind of thing is like trying to guess the lottery numbers.

I suggest everyone starts building a corrugated iron Anderson shelter in their back gardens ASAP, with a good stock of tinned soup and baked beans......hehe

Remember the boy scouts motto....."Be prepared".

Reminds me of an Albert Einstein quote,

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

What does worry me is what freedoms our leaders will remove from me to protect my freedom

Depends what you mean by WW3

A MAD level exchange of nuclear weapons seems unlikely, but a conflict large enough to be classed as WW3 seems likely in my lifetime. Islam is on the march and Europe will be on the frontline of that conflict, due mainly to misguided immigration policies.

Dammit - I made one for with my daughter last week for her homework and it was only big enough for dolls! I knew I should have made it bigger - was really strong as well, silver painted cardboard and everything frown

The use of chemical and biological weapons would keep me awake at night, so best not to think about it.

I agree with what's been said so far.

My guess is that there isn't going to be any big kick off's between contries, but It's more likely going to be terrorists getting busy with plutonium or dirty bombs, in order please Allah or something like that probably...

25 years ago, the thought terrified me constantly.
Now? Nah, not at all.

The next biggy will be when the oil runs out and everyone rushes to drill in the antartic, I reckon.

We'll all be imprisoned and kept alive only as a privilege bequeathed upon us by the EU long before then.

You should be filled with optimism, it will happen. I think it's about time the cockroaches got their turn, until then we should carry on trying our damnedest to fk the place up as much as possible.

Nice shotgun BTW.
