Funny you should bring this up. The only thing I'm seeing (besides WWIII) is Texas Governor Perry sends his 1000 National Guardsmen to the southern border. The Mexican cartels start shooting at them and at some point we start shooting back and we have an international incident.
At that point Obama declares martial law in Texas and tries to enforce it with the DHS. That doesn't go over well with Texas and we get into a state vs federal shooting war which of course the spirals out of control.
How's that for upbeat?

Eventually Israel is going to nuke Iran and the Muslim world will rally behind Iran along with Russia and Israel will
cease to exist. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination.
Armageddon... The Apocalypse...nuclear winter...it's just a matter of time.

Cool thread!
If we take cartoons as an indicator of things to come, we should probably learn to accept a two-class society where it is logical that robots, mutants or cyborgs are far better at everything and have no need for laws. Obviously these "superhumans" are always the good guys in cartoons so I guess we have nothing to fear.
(Robots ofcourse will initially have the purpose of being our servants but there's always one that grows a conscious and goes rebel)
Peace

I see WWIII on the horizon obviously, however I think many around here are much more dark about the whole thing than it would actually play out.
For one - I do not think it would be called WWIII for a long time, if ever. There are too many sides in the upcoming conflicts, it is not as cut and dry as everybody choosing one (Axis vs. Allies) as it has been before.
I can actually foresee a WWIII without the use of nukes and all out Armageddon. One that is extremely slow-moving, controlled, and calculated from all angles. I basically foresee WWIII as being a whole bunch of Regional conflicts that do not necessarily combine but instead culminate into one tragic event which happens to one unlucky nation and ultimately ushers in the NWO everybody has been talking about.
The ash will settle - a world currency will be issued. Get everybody on the grid, connected worldwide for surveillance. Population will be controlled by limitations on children worldwide as well a basic 'survival of the fittest.' It will get harder to make it successful in the world, those who are able to do so still will. The ones who cant will be left behind. Possibly limiting healthcare to the poor so those without the means (money) simply die due to the poisons in the food we all eat, etc.
From there - I can basically envision us slowly globally 'evolving' into any number of 'Utopian' societies you have read about or watched. You know the ones where everything seems perfect but is really kind of #ed up and completely controlled when you step back and look at it?
Some just have too bleak a view IMO. For those who are young, technology will do things in your lifetime we cannot even imagine. Technology will make the standard of living go up for those who have the money. Basically, do not give up hope because of WWIII. If you are not serving - pray you will be safe in your homeland. Focus on your family, advancing your career, things like that.
If the world does survive 'WWIII' as I expect it will; I believe those who kept their cool and managed to survive with some money and a good job will be just fine. I cannot stress enough how much technology is going to change the lives of people lucky enough to happen to live in the thriving areas of the NWO after the coming conflicts.
After all, the only thing driving TPTB is greed. Without us (the little guys breaking our backs working) they would have nothing. They would have no tax money to exploit. They would have no food to eat. They would have nowhere to live. They would have no fancy gadgets.
Do not be fooled - the Rich people in charge of this world will not allow it to be nuked to bits. They are sitting much too pretty for that. Their goal is too increase their net worth, power, and most importantly control.
It is hard to make any money from or have any control over a starving world of radiated mutants.
Basically, if you can manage to stake out your place in the New World - things may not be so bad for you. You may be controlled. But bet your ass you will be living good. In the future I actually see TBTB keeping the general populace complaint under their control using the complete opposite method as they have been. Instead of starving and raping the people, why not just set em up with anything they could ever ask for and then demand total control in return?
These are just my guesses based on my observations.
I hope I am right at least. As awful as the above sounds to some, it is better than the alternative. Thanks, OP i liked the thread.

There invariably is a focus on nukes. But another consideration in "the final meltdown" should be when the
bio/chem weapons are no longer contained due to prolonged grid failure or incompetence.
A viral outbreak could be much more devastating than isolated nukes.
imo the human race has outpaced it's violent nature with technology and is hanging by a very thin and frayed thread.
And we may go the way of the dinosaurs by our own arrogant and stupid hand.

Turkey will enter Palestine to render aid. Egypt enters Palestine. Then Turkey and Egypt attack Israel along with the help of Syria. Israel detonates their nukes. Along with the US, Britain rushed to Israels defense, but Russia and China hit them from the side. We all wake up floating on a mushroom cloud.
