WW2 was just a continuation of WW1, and WW3 will still be a continuation of WW1.

That was not an intelligent and rational question, that was just another personal attack.
I do not have any power to start any war, and Germany cannot do this, either.
You can threaten to start WWIII if you have the power to do this, you have to have, for example, nuclear weapons.
Van Creveld was quoted in David Hirst's The Gun and the Olive Branch (2003) as saying:
"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under".[30]

So German submarines may be used to launch nuclear weapons on European Capitals, but can you blame German taxpayers (including myself) for being forced to pay for these submarines?
