The problem is perception, as driveway is talking about our issue is that we now live in an interconnected world with instant media, instant communication and because of that our world seems more dangerous, more violent.

I don't think a world war could end in any other way than horribly because of MAD (Mutually assured destruction), mind you one of my favorite war books is Red Storm Rising which is about a war between the US and USSR, which no nukes are used because of the mutual destruction so it ends up being a normal standard war, but the destruction would be so much and again the EU would be devastated.

I think the age of world wars is over, we will have regional conflicts at most I think.
