A 3th world war between any two of the major nuclear powers (China,Russia,US) would basically set back human civilisation by 300 years and kill the 90% of the world population mostly indirectly. The last two world wars happened not because of the particular triggers but because there were seen as opportunity of growth of competing powers. I believe, as there is SILENCE about the south china sea, the meaningless outcropping of rocks there, our influence upon Japan and Australia as they interact with the will of China…here, in the south china sea, is where we will see the keg lit. So, where will it come from? Black lightning. Under the constitution, the FED is illegal to the hilt, and obviously, that was also, very wise. Chalmers Johnson is correct, as was Smedley Butler. Under the constitution, all intervention in foreign affairs is utterly illegal, and that policy was quite wise! Each move we make is error, and greed determines policy. All look to the middle east, so, it will not come from there.
Now all look to the middle east, for where the lighting will come from to light the keg, and kill us all. They hear the idiots blather and shout, and think any change or hope is available in the farce of politics…all pure lies! The corporations run it, and whoever is elected, will have to sing the song they are made to sing by the powers that be…it is all fake. Set up: All concentrate where they are told, and obey by way of reflex foolishness. Of course, the next phase of the third world war has yet to materialize, but with Hillary Clinton threatening a No-fly zone in Syria, then I think it is almost certain the next phase will begin in fall of this year or Spring of next.
The logic is simple: Russia may have a very good military, but it is small and will not be able to sustain a full onslaught from NATO, especially, over time hence, Russia will be forced into an existential threat, thus necessitating the use of nuclear weapons to even the playing field and in hopes of surviving. With that said, the coming conflict will go nuclear and fast. In addition, there are possibly three tactical nuclear weapons that have already been used, two in Syria, one in Yemen and some even claim at least one in Ukraine. No matter these start dates: the coming conflagration will dwarf all former conflicts, for what is coming is a direct conflict between Russia and US. As far as a start date, well, some might say 2003 or thereabouts, with the illegal US invasion of Iraq others still might say May, 2013, when the so-called redline was allegedly crossed by Assad and the US threatened intervention.
I think it is an incontrovertible fact that we are in the midst of the third world war.
