the good news is that every country is too broke to go to war, for a change. i don't think we will see a war unfolding because on top of no one having the funding there are a plethora of other problems we have to deal with globally.
for once greed will be the reason we can't go to war.

in reply to the two posts above i understand what you're both saying and i agree historically it worked that way, but in those times we didn't have global currency's and we didn't do nearly as much commerce with the world as a whole. you see now if you cut off your foot you also cut off a hand and we all know you won't last long without both. we as a world are far too intertwined now to be able to go to war and benefit from it.
how much have we benefited from afgan, irag, somalia etc.. ? we haven't, at least not the people, that's the main difference now as apposed to the past. back then the driving force of the world benefited from war, the people, now it's just the banksters and we all know how much their wealth is benefiting us now.

All your points are valid but if you look at it from a different perspective the view totally changes....it is my belief that the war that is coming will happen and will do so because of the reasons you state above...... our current financial system is on the brink of collapse over the past few years it has been widely discussed that it is only a matter of time....this war will not be fought for oil as some think..only control......specifically population control and when our numbers are down to a manageable size the war will end...
probably leaving us in a dystopian/orwellian nightmare.....obviously i don't know for sure i am no psychic nor do i claim to be this is just the direction i see us heading in .... we are a violent species and one day that violence will destroy us all of that i am confident......history repeats......
peace

I am not one to argue a valid point but hear me out:
This is not just directed at you but at all readers...
If you saw all these troubles in the past...did you do something about it?
Meaning...if you saw food shortages did you learn how to grow food?
If you saw money troubles...did you learn to save and pay off debt?
If you saw economic troubles...did you live within your means?
In my opinion, everything is relative and we as people need to own up.
We need to be able to take care of ourselves and our loved ones.
We don't need to rely on gov't to take care of us.
So with warning signs comes the ability to overcome and adapt.
We must learn how to survive, without "their" system.
The "danger" may be coming but we shouldn't let it scare us.
We should let it teach us to be better, more resilient people.
Not scared little sheep.
Just my humble opinion.
Should we feel safe folks with our world leaders?
