I hear Nostradamus has all the answers, but only after the fact.
Please add more to the debate next time. Thanks.

What if the next major enemy for America, is in fact America itself? What if something happens where the entire nations forms into factions and starts a new civil war? Should America be on the look out for any kind of signs of a civil war? I don't think so, well not in the way the civil war was. Most people are just looking to keep the status quo. Personally, I think it's all going to depend on what Russia and China do. The recent middle eastern conflict as shown the world the the US is not as powerful as it once was. Our technological advantage is slowly decreasing and it's been shown we're unwilling to fully commit to a protracted conflict (the public at least). Our troop level are some of the lowest of all time with us relying heavily on our reserves.

The only reason Iraq is so hard to contain is because we're giving the people a wide berth and the techniques the insurgents are using are, frankly, indefensible. The only way we'll ever be able to stop the bombings is by killing the bombers or killing the motivation. It also doesn't help that we stopped training for this sort of thing after Vietnam. We're still the most powerful military in the world, we just bring morals along with it.

US is still the most powerfull military force in the world. They only get their bud kicked by some really fanatical poerly equipped peasants who relay on guirilla tactics and bringing chaos to the country. The same counts for all other nations that are trapped in the hell holes of Irak and Afghanistan. If the US is smarth they should get their troops back since there is no way they can make something out of Irak and Afghanistan.

I do not see why World War III will started on New Year's Day in the year of 2021. Nostradamus according to Nostradamus predictions, WWIII should have began in 2007. But look where we are now, no war. I guess we will know, once Rome is destroyed in a nuclear attack.

A prediction is only a prediction, everyone. Does anyone else remember the prediction that the world would end on June 6, 2006? Did that ever occur? Of course not. Let predictions stand as they are; 'tis nothing more than a guess at best.
Moving back to the topic, I truly believe that war is currently building. With new, horrifying events occurring around the world on a daily basis, tension is rising. Currently, our eyes are fixed on the Middle East, and we're almost, in a sense, blind to hidden events in other locations. My prediction? I honestly believe that a country in which is barely noticed by the United States is going to be making a move. While the United States is preoccupied, they plot and are planning to strike. But, of course, as stated, it's only my perspective.

I can see where you would think that. However, those countries that you are discussing are noticed by our government. It's our media that keeps us unaware of the things going on in the more unstable regions. Major war is only going to occur with countries who first of all, pose a serious threat and actually stand a fighting chance. That means they have a major army or they are allied with a country with enough funding backing them up. And secondly, this country needs to have something we want.

The only thing that really gets under my skin is North Korea hitting the US with a nucleur explosive. All you hear about them these days is them doing tests with that stuff. ><

I dunno about the NEXT major war, but I bet the LAST battle will be somewhere in the Middle East.

Any reason why you think that? Somehow I don't see a war between Europe and the US really in the future because the US does have government and economic ties with Europe and I just don't really see the reasoning behind that theory. That's just my opinion, though.

So our planes go through Irish airports, which means all of Europe will wage war on the US?
