World War 3

[Roy Rolling]

While it was ongoing, World War 1 was called "the war to end all wars". Until the world erupted into war again. Then it was renamed "World War 1" because now there was a World War 2.

Just because it isn't named "World War 3" doesn't mean there isn't a global conflict. Only when the bombs start falling do people call it war, despite entire countries like Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, and Egypt being already decimated.

It's a world war, a Cyber World War. It won't be called WW3 because it is not like any war before it. It is fought along information battle lines. We must frame events accurately to have any chance of defending ourselves. And, as always, I hope I am completely wrong on this.

Cyber World War.

1. Don't forget

N. Korea. They will axis up w Iran and others. Remember, there was no WW1, til the days shortly after that Serbian guy got assassinated (I think thats who it was.) And there was no WW2 the day before Hitler invaded Poland. What's our "day before" going to look like? Such a shit show.

Regardless of the specific details, we are only lacking some catalyst to start a chain reaction.
