Not to be racist, but I heard many rumors America is invading these countries because they're rich in oil.
What do you guys think?
Will it happen?
What countries will be involved and why?

And yes, that is quite a hotspot for possible war. However, I think the Chinese government has proven itself to be very level headed these days. I don't think they will do anything to irrational.

So, for World War 3, we would need USA, and as I understand Russia.
I'm not sure, but I believe China is a canidate.
So now we have N. America, Europe and, Asia on the list of world parts at war. Then we need S. America, Oceania, and Africa to join the
So, therefore, I will personaly kill whatever reporter says World War 3 as soon as USA and Russia starts a fight.
IRT R.E.V.O.R.A.
In that case, which may very well be true, I will start stocking up on Napalm and Chlorine gas since I'm from Norway.

Since the 1940's there has been tension between the mainland and Taiwan. The People's Republic of China thinks the Republic of China (mainly the island of Taiwan) is rightfully theirs and wish to take it back by force. However, America, who has been Taiwan's ally since Chiang Kai-Sheck stepped onto their war ship in the late 1940's, has vowed to protect Taiwan if the Mainland shouold try an invasion.
Hence Taiwan is a hotspot for a potential Sino-American war, which could possibly lead to a world war.
I dont know much about the history of Thailand, but I sincerely doubt that it wants to "break off from China" and possibly cause a war between China and the USA.
I know he said Thailand, but I sincerely doubt thats what he meant.
P.S. How does this make my knowledge of Geography bad?

Thailand never want to be related to any wars. We are a peaceful country regardless Thaksin and coups.
This makes ur geo bad cause you can't see the spelling difference between "Thailand" and "Taiwan"

And now we have this " Korean Nuclear crisis" which will eventually get messy , China will get involved and possibly Russia.
This war will be unlike any other at its peak, with the threat of third world dictators getting their hands on nukes and chemical/biologicalweapons.
Its going to be the end for some countries.

Basicaly, a world war is a military conflict (Fluffy term for war), involving or affecting the majority of the worlds nations.
World War I
World War II
So if USA and China go to war, we have about 17,1% of the worlds population involved. No world war.
Let's add russia. 17,4% are now in the direct combat zone, no groups powerfuly affected as far as I can see.
And India, there has been a sinoindian war or two. Wow, 33,8% percent! Only two thirds though.
Lets add the European Union too! 50%! Now ,we're talking!
I have now made USA, EU, Russia and India go to war, and it is barely enough. That all these countries are at war will probably affect Africa, the rest of Asia and S. America, but how likely is it that all these nations goes to war?
My conclusion: No world war in a long time.
I used Wikipedia and CIA World Factbook in this study.

Should be a nice short more, 50 minutes as the MIRV's re-enter in geo-syncal orbit.
