10.30 Newsnight: What Are The Chances Of World War Three Breaking Out After You Have Gone To Bed?

I never believed in the danger of a third world war.

There's not going to be a World War III, because there is no one to have World War III with.

The ultimate Form of devaluation is military confrontation and global war.

In my opinion, there are two focal points of the war danger. The first focal point is the Far East zone of Japan. The second focal point in the zone is Germany.

America is on a course, now, that will lead to the final conflagration, The Final War - which has been cold, pretty much, up to now. But it will become hot, and the whole world will be engulfed in this Final War that I think these policies from our government will bring into existence.

A world war - God forbid! - will leave only smoldering ashes as a mute testimony of a human race whose folly led inexorably to untimely death. Yet there are those who sincerely feel that disarmament is an evil and international negotiation is an abominable waste of time.

With all of the history of war, and the human race's history unfortunately has been a good deal more war than peace, with nuclear weapons distributed all through the world, and available, and the strong reluctance of any people to accept defeat, I see the possibility in the 1970's of the President of the United States having to face a world in which 15 or 20 or 25 nations may have these weapons.

in this great war [WWI] ... they had, all of them, on all sides, lost their freedom. The freedom to think hopefully of the future.

The nations slithered over the brink into the boiling cauldron of war without any trace of apprehension or dismay... The nations backed their machines over the precipice not one of them wanted war, certainly not on this scale

World War I broke out largely because of an arms race, and World War II because of the lack of an arms race.

The politicians in this world... have at their command weapons of mass destruction far more complex than their own thinking processes.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

World War II, the atomic bomb, the Cold War, made it hard for Americans to continue their optimism.

During the Cold War, we were interested because we were scared that Russia and the United States were going to go to war. We were scared that Russia was going to take over the world. Every country became a battleground.

Syria may appear to be a small country, but it is just the type of entangled conflict that can lead to a world catastrophe. It does not take much imagination to see Syria as the Sarajevo of the 21st century, leading to world war.

I’m not starting World War III for you.

If Iran gets nuclear weapons we are near to the apocalypse.

It's becoming plainer and plainer that what is going on in South America and in South-Eastern Asia is directly related to the war in Russia, for they are all parts of one single Great World War.

shane: so is world war fifteen over out there? claire:i think so

Remember how the first world war broke out. It broke out as a result of the desire to redivide the world.
