It's Already World War 3
People are going on and on about how we're on the cusp of WWIII, and all I can think is "Where has everyone been these last 15 years??"
The third world war didn't start with nukes falling from the sky. We're already in it, and have been for a while. Because America was built on conquest, and by running out of things to conquer it lashed out at the world like a spoiled child because the system relies on a made up enemy to keep people afraid and compliant.

@emanate @emanate I'd say that opinion isn't differing as much as it is complimentary to what I was trying to convey.
The military industrial complex relies on an enemy to stay funded, and part of that includes dumbing down education and entertainment. Keeping people afraid, compliant, and overly trusting of a predatory, pathological, and authoritarian structure that discourages free thought.

A slightly different opinion: the system requires an enemy to continue to fund and justify the military industry, which is out of control and nobody is willing to stop or defund.
Not that that's less bleak of a view. :-/
