Look at History, a major war is due. The third world countries need to
lower their population in order to maintain socialism. The Dems will walk right
into it like a brick wall. Then Americans will elect the Adults to fight it,
and the Dems will Blame Repubs for everything, and failure, as Americans get bored
with the War and re-elect Dems to pull out.

WW3 will be the most deadly like nothing our generation will have ever witnessed.
I expect that 1-billion lives will be lost. China needs a population control excuse also.

Then there will be peace for another 30-60 years. Rinse repeat.

In general, I think you're correct Max. For now, though, I think it will be confined to the Middle East, as the Sunnis and Shias are battling for supremacy.

Our best move is to "drill, baby, drill". I'm not an isolationist at heart, but I have no confidence in the current chain of command (to include the Pentagon) to issue rules of engagement that don't put our troops further in harm's way. Secondly, it's time for the natives to fight for their own damn country, instead of relying primarily on Americans to do it for them.

I was visiting a friend's business by Mather AFB. and the T38s were screaming by and I said they're on the way to Russia, there was nervous laughter.

I pretty much agree with everything you say, it will be brutal, will it go nuclear? Well we have Pakistan nukes, possible North Korea nukes and possible Iranian nukes and who knows what the breakaway Russian countries got their hands on.

Things will get bad quickly. But rest assured O is going to issue a stern warning after his fund raiser and giggling like a girl.
