I see no WWIII. Always cold wars, proxy fights. There could be a black swan event out of North Korea. Next thing I could see China taking Taiwan. We wouldn't do anything about it, we are handing them oil from Iraq and Afghan to keep um happy. China has no need to fear our global positioning if they are on the take too. Us and them, Europe... you figure out what you are all about. Soft communism or w/e you got going on over there. As far as Taiwan goes, we stopped selling them weapons, "if" they fight back, they may last 48 hrs.
