I'm thinking it will go something like this:
Once the first missile is fired towards Israel (or from Israel towards someone else) it will be full scale war pretty quick. Like WW1 when most countries involved were actively fighting within days of the assasination in Sarajevo that started it all. Sadly i don't think we will have much time to adjust to the new reality we will be living in.
A coalition of muslim countries will be joining together. most probably under the command of Iran,
USA/EU will defend Israel against those countries.
Russia will join Iran/Muslim coalition and WW3 will be on it's way.
China will stay out of it as long as they can, but will be forced in as a 3rd power in the war when their investments/resources in the middle-east/africa area is no longer safe.
If/when WW3 is upon us (God forbid it will ever happen), this is how I see it start.
But then what?
What other countries will be involved and what sides will they take?
Countries like Turkey might have a hard time standing neutral when there is war all around their borders.
India with their nuclear capability - how will they react?
I'm starting this thread to get your opinions on how this might play out.
It won't change anything but it can't be unwise to be prepared for different scenarios hypothetically playing out.
I must finally make a clear statement - I am strongly against any kind of war.
I believe in humanity and that we are wise enough to avoid this at any cost.
I pray that WW3 will never happen.
This thread is just for asking for your hypothetical thoughts in case everything goes wrong.
Of course the US did but we all know that Israel does what it wants if they want to. The US only found out soon after the fact that Israel went on full-scale nuclear launch alert regardless of what the US was telling them. Israel was very much in a "finger on the trigger wait and see stance". Israeli restraint was applauded by the international community but trust, a few more scuds or something a little worse and that restraint was about to be out the window. The US and coalition got lucky.

Doesn't it worry you that Israel was set to launch nukes just because of a few conventional missiles??
The Israeli Government are dangerous madmen IMO..
If anyone starts world warIII my bet is on them..

Well really they're small nukes they're not ICBM's with muitiple warheads in the nose. Truly there'd be no real fallout in the U.S and most likely none at all in oceana.

It doesnt matter if they were 50 megaton hydrogen bombs there wouldnt be any fallout in the US.
Israel does have ICBM's as well as the two-stage thermo-nukes so they have everything else the big biys do. ICBMs would not be needed for Israel to hit Iraq as Iraq isnt intercontinental in relation to Israel.
