Thanks bro.
This is almost the same as the prepper stuff I am into.
I especially like Jeff Cooper's book. which goes into the psyche of the person.
You have to add at least some basic outdoors topics as well. Throw in some principles of guerrilla warfare and you got yourself someone who MIGHT be an asset in a war.
Conversely, someone who did not prepare for war might actually be the war hero we deserve. Ohhh... life.
At least he got the last part right.
"It will be one of the most pointless, stupid and destructive wars in history, but that is what is coming."
He should have added pollution.
If the article is correct, then China is doing a WW2 Germany - that is depending on stockpiles until they secure wells. Which is a gambit really. But, if it strikes a huge deposit of natural gas or oil in the coast of Vietnam then it will be a cold day in hell for the rest of us. If Russia enters the war then we are ALL fracked.
War is fought with resources, not necessarily materials (men and machines). If your materials run out of resources to run them then they are useless in war.
So does China have enough food and can it produce enough food to sustain a short war?
Does it have enough oil (read: all oil products) to sustain it machines?
Can it replace those machines fast enough during war?
Does it have enough EXPERTS and TRAINED people?
Can it train people to replace those they lost?
Does it have the ability to move supplies, men and machines to its fronts fast enough?
Clearly, I am insinuating something here but these are the questions worth asking.
If WW3 erupts nukes will definitely be used. Those who are equipped with nukes and is loosing the war will use them as a last ditch effort.
I think It may not be a full war but may just be a naval and air force war in the south china sea. Objective is to push them out and put them in their place. Attacking china in their homeland will not be advisable as Allies will loose world support and china will be forced to use nukes.
^next is the unthinkable, nuclear escalation

I'm okay with US nuking China. Except HK. I like the place and the people there.
Using nukes is MAD - Mutually Assured Destruction. I hope any confrontation will not resort to using nukes, as it also kills the land, reducing habitable or arable locations.
Mag combat na lang ala- Achilles vs Hector, o virtual fight sa Counterstrike with nations at stake. To the winner- all the unspoiled resources.
World War III is an economic war.
Nukes and armies are merely pawns in the grander scheme of things. Going for the purse has far more devastating effects than standing armies.

And whatever sh*t happens in Greece will spread like wildfire.

Damn, son! Where'd you find this?
With all the rhetorics and sabre rattling in media, China and the US has more mutual concerns to talk about than just the reclamation of the South China Sea. And PNoy is not invited, only two superpowers allowed.

In the mean time, Greece is seeking out Russia's help monetarily while Ukraine is looking towards IMF.
