“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". - Albert Einstein

[@NanobanaKinako]

Return to monke

[@Nuvitonmedia]

If Einstein's right, I guess World War IV will be less 'Call of Duty' and more 'Caveman Chronicles'. Can't wait to see the epic battle formations

[@spicymemes7458]

That's a royalty free way to say "Death Star"

[@redballproductions1321]

In space, this would be totally epic

[@w1ndgeneral226]

Here's an idea for a future video if you're interested: *What would happen if ALL the fictional characters from movies, TV, video games, etc, came to life in our world? Could we survive, and what would the aftermath be like?*

[@jozefmirga577]

Imagine if kratos Kirby or the moon from Zelda existed, We all would be dead

[@QuincyO5b]

i need a ralsei to hug

[@brianm6337]

"And whose side would you join?"

[@georgiaobserver]

Wouldnt World War III, fought in space then be Space War I?

[@Nuvitonmedia]

Well, if that's the case, then I'm definitely investing in some futuristic space armor and a ticket to the nearest rocket launch! Space War I: The ultimate upgrade to global conflict.

[@georgecalistruofficial]

Not în space, just on Earth. They use space to spy other peoples and army.

[@rayyanuwu9601]

This is better than school

[@ClearGlimpseOfficial]

in my opinion, humanity will have to unite one day, because there will be a war in space, but not between "earth" nations 😐👽

[@Nuvitonmedia]

Space war without 'earth' nations? So, are we talking about the Martians vs. the Moonians, or more like the Plutonians vs. the Saturnians?

[@user-ts9jj7sy6e]

To be honest your videos always teach me alot of stuff but I love your videos 😊

[@planetarystargazer]

What If you fell into Neptune's Great Dark Spot

[@justadildeau]

The solar system wouldn't be complete without Uranus

[@TurnedSombre]

Then Commander Shepard will save us all.

[@colelaton2431]

call of duty

[@AT-EarthHelpers]

That would be interesting!

[@XDMartelStudioz]

Title before was "What if World war 3 has Fought on Space" They literally Changed it.

[@cameronbaker97]

maybe it will be, who knows yet.

[@NanobanaKinako]

Philippines will definitely use their Voltes V provided by Dr. Ned Armstrong to Camp Big Falcon.

[@SHTURMgaming]

Hello What if channel! Ive been watching your vids for a long time. Can I tranlate your vids and upload them on my youtibe channel for central asia

[@Leftcoaststeph]

[@lxttlestration1]

[@gunsgamesgadgetschannel863]

Just get prepared folks for shit to go down. It's only a matter of time before shit pops off.

[@fahimredwan]

Love what if videos❤❤❤

[@Rayquaza3010]

Let’s just hope that there is no one with access to the Conduit/Zohar in space once the war unfolds.

[@erriketidouvli1900]

First time you dont make any sence. But looove the channel ❤

[@jbstepchild]

Feeling like this has been done before 😊

[@anuragtumane5227]

World War II starting in 2024 would have huge ramifications on humankind.

[@Unimichael11]

[@sta.anapark3020]

What if we ran out of what ifs???

[@qamarali6299]

[@Abstract.Noir414]

4:49 it was developed by aresearcher from BOEINNG, would the weapons malfunction?

[@ENGO1008]

Do video about how life is like on the earth as an alien i always wondered about it Thank you❤

[@lm_not_ok.]

Did you know? If you tell or type on your Google assistant "What if the world stop for one second" it will say "ok, got it or alright"

[@DarkPa1adin]

Tungsten "Rod from God" is a nice kinetic bombardment. The concept can be launched on ships that fire ICBM

[@Deanrwp]

It wouldn’t be classed as World War 3, it will be called Galactic War, Space Wars etc, to be considered as a World War would have to happen on planet Earth Not in Space in order for it to be called World War! 🤔

[@ronin95151]

If WWIII happened in Space, then WWIII happened in Space. You're welcome.

[@DarkPa1adin]

Space World 1

[@RedEyedHolloway]

Not the “Rod of God” though. 😂

[@altieku672]

Stupid crazy dumb cristian

[@Liam_Tech]

Cool

[@joshuaarmstrong8796]

Not the UK announcing their “light beaming” space laser💀

[@KevinRedmondWA]

“God Rod” is my nickname in high school.

[@christmas47]

Please upload a video in 2k.

[@carlalexander170]

Just a matter of time until we construct a Space Barrier Wall Defense

[@sudipk.c.5941]

I am interested to know about the sources for all these videos , AI generated or what?

[@ProdigyPro-wm1lx]

“Would it ever end?” The answer is yes, in about one hour when everyone dies because of a nuclear bomb. (My thoughts do not mind)

[@colelaton2431]

first time seeing the Rods from God was in a movie "GI Joes" and boy was that stuff destructive.

[@Leftcoaststeph]

What if an exoplanet is replaced at Earth's position? Would life survive on the exoplanet?

[@ericeddy9450]

Worry not my dear people, the rockets and satellites flown in space already set the tone, it is just matter if days only. Happy death day for all of us

[@macwelch8599]

[@user-rc2xs5ti2w]

They must go to space and have wars there.

[@kippo567]

Why is this about space warfare when we’re no where close to that in 2024 lmao

[@KGBSpyGeorgeCostanza]

It will happen, the cold war is kinda over, but the money and star wars has just begun Sorta did a meta-joke there, but proud my country is getting involved

[@benjaminpotter5262]

if ww3 is in space, i would just stay on earth.

[@JustSamsung]

Change the title to "what a war in space will look like".

[@KunalPareek-bo3sx]

Alternative title: What if star wars was real

[@thomassolheim3023]

[@wxlsonjl]

Space force and Air Force would fight in space

[@user-fs7ku7ud1x]

Can you make a video what if earth had helium in its atmosphere. So let’s say earth’s atmosphere is composed of 69% nitrogen 21% oxygen 9% helium and 1% other gases

[@wHw_Syxx]

I think maybe more World War V or World War VI (if we don't completely wipe ourselves out) in previous World Wars.

[@beatshaver533]

[@Hamkkeee]

[@Usaamaaaaah]

Humans need to take more control of our governments.

[@Baseds__Backup_Account_3]

[@georgecalistruofficial]

Yes, World War 3 is was started form year of 2014 when Rusia atac est of Ukraine. Now is other war in Israel and Yemen. Chine try , slow, start other war in Taiwan. But official is not announcement in order not to cause panic among the population.
