has mankind evolved and learned, or is WW 3 still possible?

Two world wars changed the course of history forever. 76 million people died, many more wounded as nearly every continent in the globe became a battlefield. Some argue that the threat of mutual annihilation will forever keep the world at bay. Others say economic interdependence has solved things. However, is human nature still human nature? Could events or a chain of events spark the fire and plunge the world into a third world war? Have our governments learned from past mistakes or will history repeat itself?

It is possible for World War III to occur however it's unlikely. The Middle East has been a cauldron of turmoil for the past 15 years nearly involving major world powers but all of them have resisted the temptation to pull the trigger. Nations are much more interdependent than in the past which is helping to prevent world war for economic reasons as well.

As long as people fail to learn from the past, they will repeat the past

I'm thinking a little of both. Sure WW3 could happen. America, Russian, or China or anyone for that matter could at any time just go ape shit and start fucking shit up, but we don't and won't because of MAD. No one wants to die, so we're trying to prevent anyone from dying.

That said, I definitely don't think mankind has evolved and learned, that war is bad. We know it'a bad, but we're still vying for it. I don't know what we'd gain from another war, but it sure as hell seems like America, and or Isis is trying to get something started.

Side: no, ww 3 possible

Technically it's always a possibility. Yes, most people evolved and learned, but we've also got some who didn't. With all of the religious conflict that has arisen in the last decade, and all of the garbage with the Middle East that didn't really need to happen, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw WW3 in my lifetime.

Side: no, ww 3 possible
