Is this the New Winston Churchill?

bingo.
I prefer the terms "North Euro" and "South Euro" though.

lebensraum

"das volk braucht platz" <> oil or SE fi.
I wasnt about that anyway, in the west at least. Just about power.
The pacific war on the other hand has some parallels.

we're already fighting WW3 me thinks

True, this is most likely what they will write in future history books.

WWIII?

this?

seriously?

Are ppl that desperate to have some epic history in their CVs that a financial crisis is now called a war? Banana divisions marching?

So, then the US with Lehmann Brothers fired the first shot and will be dragged to Nuremberg?

Wars start 10-15 years before the 1st bullet is fired.

Maybe your picture of a future world war is wrong.
It wont be one huge battlefield but dozens of smaller ones.

Constantly at war yes, "world war" - maybe not.
Anyway - what is your outlook for next four decades to come?
Peace and unity?

I lost faith in my predictions a long time ago. Things can change so quickly and unpredictably that it makes not much sense in looking to the future or develop any kind of fatalism.

Actually, I can't stand predictions, because more often then not they become self fullfilling prophecies. People start to believe something will happen, and that alone often has the effect to actually make it happen.

What is worrysome in this regard is that in many places of the western world there developed a Lust for Armageddon, tear everything down and start anew. Just look at the TV series and movies coming out lately, there is more in there about world destruction then for the last 50 yerars combined. If that is any indication for peoples current mood, then I do not wonder a bit about the current state of the western world.

Ppl atm are not driven by facts or attempts to fix the problems we have, but mere emotion. That hardly ever solved anything. Though I do develop an understanding why, for example, ppl cheered all over Europe when WWI broke out. It appears at certain points in history men simply loses his ability to think things through out of pure frustration.

What's so bad about this vision?
