Who will start World war III

I will begin with my rebuttals, then my prediction of the events leading up to and during WWIII, and finally an explanation of my reasoning. REBUTTAL "My second point is that it would be completely ignorant of Iran to attack Israel due to its weak military, economy, and weak immediate allies. " I disagree. Iran's allies include strong relationships with China (GREAT relations), Russia, North Korea, Syria, and Lebanon [3]. These nations are incredibly powerful! In fact, China alone has over 40,000 nuclear warheads [4] and hundreds of thousands of ground troops. And a weak economy? Iran BANKS on oil and natural gas and has a GDP of 331 billion and growing [5]. This number is expected to increase very rapidly as a result of the myraid of resources in Iran's mainland. And finally, its military has almost as many troops as the US, only a few hundred thousand short [6]. Although you did make a point that their military spending isn't huge, it could certainly grow along with their resource output and GDP. "When Iran's Military budget is compared to that of the US and Israel it is very troubling The US have 2,883,613 active troops(active and reserve), Israel has 741,500, and Iran has 2,323,000. You will notice Iran and Israel have a very large military for per square mile because they are a conscription military. When compared to military spending the number gets even more astounding 700 billion per year by the United states, 13 billion per year by Israel, and 7 billion year by Iran. When Budget is divided per active duty military personal this gets scary the US on average spends 2,427,510 per soldier, Israel 17,532, and Iran 3,013 per soldier. "To add on to the point that I just made, Iran actually is more prepared then you might think. As I stated before, Iran's allies make up a military force much greater than that of the US [7], [8], [9], [10]. Also, Russia, China, and North Korea have a substantial stockpile of nuclear and checial weapons [2]. Together, these ground troops and ICBMs could easily destroy nations and pose a serious threat to Isreal and the US. SUMMARY (my sources/reasoning will be in the Explanation section) In 2012 Barack Obama will be elected president of the United States of America. The next four years will go as expected; new taxes will be implemented on the wealthy to protect our plans for infrastructure development, unemployment will gradually decrease, and the economy will slowly improve, despite colossal additions to our national debt. However, America's growing need for energy independence will be looming over us like the night sky. To combat this, the UN will form a world-wide treaty organization advocating the development of natural gas, called the World Natural Gas Association. Huge progress in the natural gas field will be made in middle America, a very rich gas area. In Iran, president Obama will be pressuring the officials to give up the suspected nuclear program and pursue other sources of energy. Of course, tensions in the Middle East between Iran and Israel will be increasing at the same time. President Obama will try his best to use diplomatic efforts to restore peace, but one day, Iran will launch four nuclear weapons from the Bushehr nuclear plant into Haifa, Tel Aviv, Ashdod, and Rishon LeẔiyyon, each some of the biggest cities in Isreal. These nuclear weapons will destroy a significant part of the nation, killing about 1.5 million people. Immediately after this, Iran will send some 2,000,000 troops into Jerusalem and the surrounding area in an effort to overthrow the government and seize all military power. Palestine will also receive support from Iran in an effort to drastically increase its borders. The United Nations, specifically the US, the UK, and Canada, will try to make a decision about a retaliation. They will consider the fact that Iran would likely shut off the Strait of Hormuz in the event of a UN attack, but after factoring the recent developments in WNGA production, they will decide to send troops into Iran and Jerusalem to aid the Israelis. To add on to all of this, the treaties signed by North Korea, Syria, and Iran will create a real "World War," with Syrian and NK troops being deployed throughout the area to give Iran support. Even China, having good relations with Iran, will receive a monetary incentive to move towards UN bases in Afghanistan and Pakistan. EXPLANATION "In 2012 Barack Obama will be elected president of the United States of America. " Well this one isn't too hard to grasp. In two national polls, one Obama v. Romney and one Obama v. Santorum, Obama was the clearcut winner [11], [12]. "the UN will form a world-wide treaty organization advocating the development of natural gas, called the World Natural Gas Association. "This is not unrealistic. Actually, Middle America has 237,726 billion cubic feet of gas – enough to supply current U. S. demand for about 10 years [13]. Plus, the Obama administration is focusing keenly on our energy demand. What could be better than clean, efficient natural gas in our own nation? "Of course, tensions in the Middle East between Iran and Israel will be increasing at the same time. President Obama will try his best to use diplomatic efforts to restore peace. .. " Obama, while "threatening" war with Iran, has been mainly for diplomatic efforts towards peace, if possible [14]. "Iran will launch four nuclear weapons from the Bushehr nuclear plant" -First of all - why would Iran be developing nuclear energy in the first place? It seems completely pointless to me considering they have the third most oil of any nation in the world at about 132.5 billion barrels (in reserves) [15]. That's over 10% of all of the oil in the world [15]! Not to mention the natural gas reserves in Iran, which is the second largest amount in the world [15]. And they still need nuclear energy? Yeah right. -There is also a great deal of primary evidence proving that Iran is looking to build nuclear weapons. -As you can see here [16], numerous British Intelligence reports confirm what we already know. Prime Minester Cameron (of the UK) says it himself: "Iran is seeking to build a nuclear weapon. Tehran's ambitions are dangerous to the Middle East. " [16]-President Obama's CIA reports confirm it as well. As you can see here [17], the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is well equipped for nuclear weapon fabrication. -"We consider sanctions as opportunities . .. We will continue our [nuclear] path more decisively," says Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili. (I will continue next round, I'm out of space) [1] . http://en.wikipedia.org...
