World War III... Is it about to Happen?

[jbrnt]

We are already at war. The war is not fought with armies and tanks, but trade and economics, energy and resources, electronics and intelligence, politics and allies. Just look at Russia and China, they are aggressively expanding their boarders.

First, big economies should break down and when WW3 happens, it will be the biggest rise of Bitcoin.

You are right, Germanys economy is much too strong to start a new world war.. maybe the US will start this time, we seem to be preparing for it.

We only entering the first phase the next phase will be war with missiles and drones and the last phase will be nuclear/EMP/Biological and would be catostropic. A war not seen before and possibly could end the world as we know it.

We will always be at that war, and that's a good thing. Brain wars are to be hailed!

Armies, tanks and bombs are the ones to be avoided.

That's true and most tank wars etc are started by economics of different countries and that will always be the case.

Tank wars are a way to show intellectual diminishing. It's like starting to punch an opponent in a debate.
Economics are the outcome of culture, in the long run a culture with more brain power will overcome the slack cultures and will become richer.
Then sometimes, more than desirable, these weak cultures instead of try to improve their own brain power to compete, tries to be patronized and play "victim" to eventually militarily attack the other.

That is a rather cynical view.

I see the missles and nukes are used as threats and bargaining chips rather than as weapons. The war nowadays are economic powers playing "the good guy" role bribing weaker powers for their voice (or silence) in the UN, bullying the weaker "bad guys".

At some point it will have to happen. there is to much unresolved conflicts and problems in the world that will blow up evantually.

I don't think it is likely to happen

The Global Unraveling Of Flight MH-17

Published on Jul 23, 2014
Alex talks with Michel Chossudovsky, an award-winning author, professor of economics (emeritus) at the University of Ottawa, founder and director of the Center for Research on Globalization, and editor of the globalresearch.ca website. Alex and Mr. Chossudovsky talk about the downing of MH-17 and the effort to frame Russia and the separatists in Ukraine who are attempting to free themselves from the grasp of the quasi-fascist government installed in Kiev by the U.S. State Department.

Usually I find Alex Jones to be a bit too hysterical, but this is one of his better casts, with some very sobering insights about our corporate media and the industrial war complex its quiet chilling.


"we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together." - -US President Dwight Eisenhower

I think some people in high places miss the cold war but couldn't bring it back, so we're now going to have a 20 year long 'luke warm war' instead; there will be more actual fighting, but nobody will take it quite as seriously.

Something to consider is that as the world becomes more integrated, the relevance for government diminishes. Look at Europe you can drive trough without border controls etc.
The more free trade that occurs the less the need for military, I have a real sense that the industrial military complex saw the writing on the wall and is in many cases is engineering this insane instability to justify the need for government and themselves.

Creating instability to justify the need for more government - quite possibly. But the lack of border control in Europe has got nothing to do with diminishing government, its because we've buit a whole extra, less democratic, less open, and less accountable layer of government above the national one (the European Union), and they are gradually shifting power away from national government and towards this 'higher' level of government. It began as a free trade area, so its sort of like NAFTA telling the US that they aren't allowed to control immigration with Mexico any more because NAFTA is more important than America.

I don't see it happening mainly due to Russia. They would likely be the spark to cause it but the people at the top in Russia are so filthy rich with their current corrupt system they have really nothing to benefit and everything to lose.

Just like Russia had everything to lose from entering WWI, yet it was dragged into it, and we all know the consequences (USSR for one, and Russia, that started to become an industrial country well on the way to constitutional monarchy, being thrown back decades in its development). Nothing is here to stop the history from repeating itself.

US pulling out its Cold War-era plans over Ukraine conflict, top commander admits
http://rt.com/usa/175596-dempsey-ukraine-cold-war/

The United States military’s top commander said during a security summit this week that the ongoing crisis in eastern Ukraine has prompted the Pentagon to revisit old contingency plans unused since the days of the Cold War.

Now, seeing as US started the whole bloody (literally) mess in Ukraine, they simply showed now that they were itching to play with those plans again...
