It sounds so real, kind of like what really would happen. Nice. 5 stars. But what about Europe, Africa, Oceania, South America, Mexico and the rest of North America?

“Canada stayed neutral.” of course they did. Even though the devil is Canadian (idont know if you remember that story.)

Nice icon madwriter =). So Canada is neutral eh? lol, this seems like it may happen. Very nice!
LoA

Canada stayed neutral. As serious as this ficlet is, I couldn’t help but laugh at that! And the almost sarcastic view of WWIII you present, watching it on big-screen TVs, neutral Canada, US getting in everyones way trying to keep peace, is different and works very well.

Makes you think, that’s for sure.

Lots thrown in, which makes it feel kind of numb, which I guess works for the material at hand. Ambitious scope to it all as well, and it lays out really the most likely scenario for world war, a series of smaller conflicts snowballing and escalating until everyone is involved.

I agree, the smaller acts, snowballing, is kind of what I would picture as the way WWIII would start. :)
