World War III
I’ve heard political and economic commentators say that this global economic depression could lead to another World War, just as the previous depression did. Who would be the powers in such a scenario – China, the USA, Europe? Only if they have any funds left to rage a costly war!
Recently, I started to think that we might have it all wrong. The third World War may already have begun.
Unlike the last World War, it won’t be a war between nation states. It is a war within states. A global civil war. It may be a war unlike any we have seen before. All facilitated by modern social networks. Civilians rebelling against the stringencies and austerity imposed on them by their governments.
“The Arab Spring” in the middle-east. Civil unrest in Greece. London riots today. Where next?
