The elite didn't expect the revolutions happening everywhere from egypt to wall street. Their worst nightmare is people power. They now realize their grand scheme has failed and they won't be able to impose their dictature on us. The Internet (among other things) opened the sheeple's eyes.

A world war is a war affecting the majority of the world's most powerful and populous nations. World wars span multiple countries on multiple continents, with battles fought in multiple theaters. The term has usually been applied to two conflicts of unprecedented scale that occurred during the 20th century, World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945), although in retrospect a number of earlier conflicts may be regarded as "world wars". The other most common usage of the term is in the context of World War III, a phrase usually used to describe any hypothetical future global conflict.

I don't think you understand the meaning of a "world war" it is a literal term where nearly every populated continent in the world is involved (just as your "Wiki" stated (don't forget Wiki's are from just people like you and I so don't always believe everything you read.
Also, why does everyone think the next "big one" i.e. "Worl War" will be nuclear? More likely than not it will be fought with conventional weapons.
Case in point, WW1 was fought with chemical weapons so everyone naturally assumed WW2 would be as well... my Dad who fought under Gen Patton in the 3rd Army said they carried their gas masks for several months then threw them away when it was clear the Germans weren't going to use gas, he said the Germans threw theirs away about the same time. Something not too well known was Hitler told his 'people' developing new weapons he didn't want anything to do with chemical weapons having suffered through an attack that blinded him for a time in the 1st WW. (he apparently didn't mind using gas on the Jews however). but on the battlefield he was firmly against it so it never happened.
Same as Nuclear bombs, some generals wanted to use it in Korea but Truman decided not to and the rest is history.
So don't automatically assume if there is a global conflict it will automatically be nuclear!

After the second world war I dont think it realy ended.
America has been at war with some one and at times more than one countrie.
They have a standing army in most countries now.
The Free countries are fighting hard to stay free.
But You are lead to belive that They are the ones starting the fight.
If Adolf had won the world war.
More people would be fighting back.
And by now we would have defeted them.
So why are you Not fighting back now?
