Just think....

I just had a short read at another site I am a member of and it got me thinking, while kinda out there is it possible we are headed towards WWIII? This quote from there caught my attention . . .
Vladimir Putin has designs on the entire Middle East. With a nuclear armed Iran in his pocket, Russia may not have to be the one to screw with America and NATO. All the while, China continues to build it’s arsenal and watch what happens.

Strictly based on historical precedent, given our militaristic, aggressive and xenophobic attitudes, that if ww3 comes it will be/has been started by us. If you read the rhetoric currently being spouted by Trump et al, it is nearly identical to the fearmongering that brought the German national socialist party into power in the 30's. And nobody is quicker to blow shit up than us. Nobody. And if the current conflicts should escalate rather than dissipate, history will eventually reflect that the conflicts were started when USA destabilized the region in pursuit of oil revenue. Probably take a couple hundred years for it to get to that point though.

There is also the very real possibility that our arrogant stance and sense of superiority will ally others against us in a much more organized fashion like we already see in the middle east. History shows that when there is only one military-based superpower, it tends to lose cooperative support from the rest of the civilized world until it collapses under its own weight. No one likes a bully.

However, it is far more likely that we will be torn apart by our own internal prejudices and stupidity, as parts of our country are currently being whipped into a frenzy by the absolute worst combination of factors: economic disparity and religious fervor. Money and God start damn near every war in human history, with the exception of those started over sex.
