Likewise, most people would probably say that the Cold War started in earnest around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

It began in 1945. And lasted 4 decades.

And it almost went MAD several times, Cuban Missile Crisis was just one such instance (and there was one in the early 80s as well).

There were proxy skirmishes around the globe. And infiltration, espionage, and sedition.

People think that this current round of Islamic imperialism is a “new war”. It’s been waging for much of the 20th century and stretched back to the time of Mohammed himself (a dead conquering warlord).

Sometimes it runs hot and sometimes it run “cold”.

It is WWIII, of course. but it is better described as a series of interacting civil wars,wars within nation-states that are economic in motivation but suicidal in effect and manipulated by the global elite.

I like the article’s phrase “…types of contemporary warfare — religio-ideological and nation-state economic”. This is a an adequate description of the old reality that is still with us.

Now maybe we can peer into the mist ahead and see the real WWIII.

It is the war of the “non-national elite” against the rest of us. In our American case the war of rich and powerful Americans against the rest of us, the most of us, the working class.

The international corporations (pseudo-persons) have no allegiance to any nation or any individual because they are are amoral and devoted to their own survival against every other consideration.

They are self-serving and are only real in cyberspace, the new reality that has already over-powered the old reality. If cyber-space were to collapse, they would be crippled.

The enemy is diaphanous. The only component of the enemy we can punch in the nose is anyone who owns stock and insists upon profit over tribalism..

WWIII = “non-national elite” versus us.

Myself, I feel that we’ve been in a second American civil war since the commie Clinton took the presidential office in 1993. The country has been dividing politically, economically and geographically since.

My opinion, and it what it is, is that the left is about to collapse because they have no martial strategy beyond calling people racists. When it’s time to meet on the battlefield, the left will not show up because the feminazis have castrated its males. leaving only hand-wringing male wimps, who wear eyeliner and have abandoned the skills associated with warriors.

The left’s new warrior is pajama boy, sipping on a cup of hot cocoa.
