WW3 is happening now, and we the People Of The US, are losing it. This war is economic, and since the Chinese are now our bankers, along with the Japanese, and Koreans, we already lost the war. Chinese think in terms of generations, we think differently and have not the vaguest understanding of the traditional mindset there, the sense of history. We are very much latecomers to this gristmill, and our remarkable abundance, floated a world, changing from feudal to the modern societies we see today. We were cruel in that transition, very cruel, with our ignorance of the transitional state out of Monarchy, that is known as communism. Our "foreign aid", has made us few friends among the peoples of the world, who are now awakening to the realities of us, from the post-robbery stupor. Every new middle class individual has the choice of sucking up to the oppressors that made them poor before they became middle class, or helping the poor up and out of blight.
The current demonization of Socialism, as the haves get richer in the US, is a blatant ploy to promote the class and slavery system, that so characterizes life in South America. You don't have to work in a fast food chain, or a Wal Mart, to see that it is here, now. The war is on, and your Social Security is on the table, either invest in the doings of our new masters, or what?
Beware as the US farmers get stiffed, and our ability to grow and harvest food, in this nation decreases due to artificial pressures created by the attempt of foreign slave holders, to influence how we acquire every bit of food that we eat here. A nickel for oil to ship every apple, a penny a truckload to the South American picker. Billions to American corporations abroad that don't have to reveal the chemical content of over-sprayed or GMO crops, don't have to insure workers, or take care of them if they poison them in foreign fields.
So, the combatants are Energy Conglomerates, Bankers, Multinational Corporations, and their lackeys, Emerging Economic Powerhouses based on theft of national resources VS The Middle Class, and Educated Workers, Socialist Nations, Landowners, Farmers And Ranchers, Educators, Environmentalists, native residents of resource rich lands.
Neutrals are slave to low wage workers who must work and serve any system in place.
Casualties are any life form that interferes with profit taking of a multi national corporation, indigenous peoples, young people who have not yet entered any work force, and who want a life that diverges from corporate plans. Women and Children in societies that allow them no rights, whose leaders, serve the strongest aggressor, that pays with the most money, and false security for haves. All other non-human life on the planet, that has to survive in spite of the poisoning of the planetary waters, and thinning of the ozone layer. Families where both parents have to work so much, that their children are left to be programmed by corporate media and sales promotion, families who starve to death, because their societies are not concerned about them, but about high level profit taking, in exchange for resources that should be owned by all members of a nation.
As the American middle class, and farmers, and young people who would have joined the middle class from their poorer families; watch their futures thin and recede, or watch good jobs go abroad to economic systems, that accept slavery and marginal living as a means to profit; they know something has been taken, but they don't suspect that it is the spoils of WW3, but that is exactly what has happened.
Meanwhile the Defense Contractors and Current Government, have made sure that they are safe, and the utility companies, have become fortresses, go visit your gas company in any major city, they have mercenary security guards at the 10 foot high gates, and bank glass. Really who is safe in our society? The occupying army, they are out in their Humvees, their wives are safe, out shopping in their Humvees, then back to the gated community. I live in a state where the government is the biggest employer. Every government worker has full health benefits, retirement, insurance, til the day they drop.
The war has been lost or won, already, depending on which side of the chain link fence you work on.
Oooops, I think I'm I hi-jacking this thread... 
Wow that's a big post.
