The Possibility Of World War 3 ISIS

By Pamela Clark


Scholars are looking into the possibility of another global conflict happening. The past ones ruined the economies and infrastructures of Europe and it is hoped that people learned their lessons. Humans are by nature warring and they can easily turn on each other because of trivial matters. However, a global scale chaos is not something easy to occur because of the structures in place but the prospect of world war 3 ISIS should not be totally ignored even if this Islamic State currently does not have a lot of capacity.

It seems the world war 3 concept will not go away anytime soon. Some people grew with the risk of cold war and what it could degenerate into, hanging over their heads. Some people believe that an alien invasion is not a work of fiction. What is even very frightening is the fragile nature of the Middle East. There can be a spillover from this region to the rest of the world.

Still in the midst of all apocalyptic theories, ISIS is worrisome. It stands out but this does not mean it has the ability to cause a war because it is greatly constrained resource wise compared to the endowments of nations like USA, China, Russia, India and Israel. But there is also the possibility of it being the catalyst to something dangerous because often extremism begets more dangerous extremism.

Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya are all in shambles and it is because of this radical organization that makes use of medieval tactics. It is hard to tell which country will be next. Their goal is to create a world Islamic caliphate and one wonders whether they can do that on their own. They do not have the capability to overthrow the present global order considering the military budgets of the richest countries on earth.

The fatal spill or rather the exportation and transmission of conflict is something that scholars worry about when they think about Islamic State. They might only be in a few countries presently but no one can now how far they can reach. Terrorists from as far as Nigeria and Somalia have already pleaded allegiance to them. This is a very dangerous precedent.

The problem is the guerrilla element. They attack when least expected and it is hard to know their next move. They are taking over some failed states but the issue of them starting world war 3 seems a bit of a distant reality but with many states falling their territory expands and this is worrying to global stability.

Global chaos can be the result of instability in many countries and this is what Islamic state is causing. These pockets of conflicts pose a real threat to the peaceful coexistence of civilizations. They represent something bad and dangerous that needs to be urgently stopped before the worst happens. Stopping means dealing with poverty and extremism that are the root causes of terrorism.

Global peace is desirable. It is a good thing when people from different nations, races, religions and ethnicities leave in peace. This leads to prosperity and happiness. But extremists like ISIS will always be a thorn in the flesh. Stopping extremist elements guarantees future peace and security.
