Who will start World war III

Thank you for your response before my rebuttal I would like to mention Con has failed to address the issues and historical evidence posed in paragraph one. Also I would like to add even with cited sources Con's argument is completely speculative.Rebuttal"And a weak economy? Iran BANKS on oil and natural gas and has a GDP of 331 billion and growing."That 331 billion is one third of its total GDP of 928.9 billion compared to the united states 15.04 trillion. This shows how weak the economy is, when an economy is solely dependant on one resource it is unstable[2]. Using your source the CIA fact book. "Iran's economy is marked by an inefficient state sector, reliance on the oil sector, which provides the majority of government revenues, and statist policies, which create major distortions throughout the system." [1] To add to this fact Iran consumes half of the oil it produces further hurting its economy.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. Due to the fact it consumes half of what it produces the economy would receive a huge benefit from nuclear energy allowing more oil to stimulate the economy. You also mentioned natural gas can power the U.S for ten years not to get off topic but natural gas is bad for the environment. [3] Using Nuclear energy at double the energy consumption the United states would last 500 billion years. [4] This would allow Iran to prosper."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." This only shows that it is possible for nuclear enrichment, but even if they developed a warhead it would be used as a deterrent just as every other country uses them for, Minus the U.S who has the only history of using nuclear weapons (Hopefully a source won't be needed for this).Also the argument was who will start World War III and for all your reasoning you have appeared to agree with me. "In Iran, president Obama will be pressuring the officials to give up the suspected nuclear program and pursue other sources of energy." <<<Instigating, also"President Obama will try his best to use diplomatic efforts to restore peace..." And your reasoning for this statement "Obama, while "threatening" war with Iran, has been mainly for diplomatic efforts towards peace, if possible" This is also war agitation from sanctions and military war games proves the United states will start World War III."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 chemical weapons [2]. Together, these ground troops and ICBMs could easily destroy nations and pose a serious threat to Isreal and the US."I love the website in your source because it reinforces my argument. When the United states is contested with Russia it is no contest, (strictly looking at technology and manpower excluding nuclear arms) with conscription we have the available manpower of 145,000,000 vs 70,000,000.[5] As for Syria we are currently involved helping support the rebels much like Libya. Why aren't we helping other countries with humanitarian aid. Maybe their is invested interest. I will assume after the revolt we will have a democratic supporter in the middle east, possibly not due to Russia blocking resolutions. As for North Korea we have an ally who will get involved if they come in called south Korea with stronger manpower and technologies called south Korea. As for China we are the number one Exporter of their goods going to war with us would cripple their economy although I do think they will back up Iran.[6] I doubt any of these alliances gives Iran's incentive to strike. I believe that all comes down foreign intervention in their affairs.New PointsAs stated in opening Iran has not instigated acts of war in 200 years, for all intent purposes lets compare with that of America Russia, Syria 1949, Big one hear Iran in 1953, Tibet 1950s, Guatemala, Cuba, Congo, Iraq 1963, Brazil, Ghana, Iraq 1968 (we got it wrong the first time), Chile, Afghanistan, Iraq 1975 (3rd times the charm?), Argentina, Afghanistan, Iran 1980, Nicaragua , El Salvador, Cambodia, Angola, Philippines. All During the Cold war lets not get into what happened afterward. Now after looking at Historic evidence is it not too far fetched to think America will be the agitator in a war? [7]also what would Iran gain by going to War with Israel I think this is the biggest question we should ask. The only person who would benefit from a war would be Israel and the United states. [8]Iran was planned to be taken out a decade ago with other countries that we are currently involved in Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria.[9] Sources: https://www.cia.gov... http://iranprimer.usip.org... http://atomicinsights.com... http://nextbigfuture.com...http://www.globalfirepower.com...http://www.ustr.gov...http://en.wikipedia.org...http://current.com...http://www.youtube.com...
