There are many who believe that the world is staring into the abyss of a new “World War.” I don’t see a World War scenario. Not like the two idiot wars of Europe. That said, we are in a Global War phase right now. America is engaged in conflicts all over Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East combined with rising tensions between Europe/US and Russia as well as US/Pac Rim/Japan/Southeast Asia and China. We also have the rolling imbroglio with Iran that began when Allen Dulles sent Kermit Roosevelt to stage the coup that put the idiot Shah into power in ’53.
 
We are already in conflict all over the globe due to our meddling and international interventionism. Will a shooting war come next? With China? With Russia? Who knows? Obama seems to be doing his damnedest before his administration ends to bring about war with half of the world.

What will the next few decades bring us?

If Hillary is elected, war is certain. If Sanders gains the White House, I think we veer more towards isolationism. If Trump is elected, I have no idea. The guy treads both sides of the aisle and neither.

The problem with the world is that we always yearn for conflict. Peace is but a lull in hostilities for humanity. The world has been at war more often than not. Even during periods which have been described as “Eras of Peace” there have been small, geographically contained wars.

Many folks want to blame the US and our interventions for the conflicts and chaos raging across the planet. There is no truth to this. Humanity was at war with itself long before the ancestors of the founders were born. Humanity will be at conflict with and amongst itself long after America has fallen and been forgotten. Someone else will be blamed but there is never one point of conflict and never one source of conflict.  The world is chaos. Humanity will always find some way to divide itself.

We may as well let loose the Dogs of War!
