"What?! A war between the world's biggest producer of cheap goods and their best customer? I don't think so."

Things change. Circumstances change. They always have, they always will. And when it does who are the most likely combatants than the two countries that are declared strategic adversaries and train with each other in mind as the enemy...even while one produces the world's cheapest goods and the other is it's best customer.

We are already in the middle of the next world war. But unlike during the Cold War, when the free nations recognized and studied the ideology of communism, we now pretend that islam is a "religion of peace" and the islamists are just misunderstanders.

If we had responded to communism that way, we would all live in Soviet vassal state now, in a world-wide worker`s paradise.

Maybe it's already started. I know it's going to involve Israel.

It will be over food and water. I personally believe that, with the higher gas and oil prices, someone somewhere in the world will get wise, and create a fuel (or discover/rediscover one) that is basically cheap or cheap to use, and cleaner than oil.

Taunts on the internets.

The next big war, if there is to be one, will be between China and the United States.

Yep, China keeps going up while the US keeps going down (fast). There is no way the US will just let China surpass them. But they will never directly attack them. They will, as usual, use deception to get China to attack first, or make it look like they are. They might even do a false flag to get Japan and China to fight each other and then the US will come to the rescue.

One reason for the Iraq invasion was probably to stop China from getting its oil. China is looking at African countries for oil, I guess they will be next. Yugoslavia had rich gold deposits, look at who is mining it now. Recent wars seemed to be about getting their hands on important resources (theft) as well as imposing a Rothschild-controlled banking system (more theft).

You gotta be kidding me...seems like most people can't read correctly...

It asks about the NEXT WARS not the current ones.... the current ones are about ideology and oil. Although i sometimes tend to agree that all wars since the dawn of communal societies with cognitive abilities have been about ideology, the truth is, the next wars will not be fought over oil (there will be none) nor will they be fought over ideology (hunger and a need to survive is beyond ideology) it'll be about food...

sabiwabi - "China keeps going up"

Inflation and pollution in China, yeah.

"while the US keeps going down"

You mean this little slowdown? Hey, we like to put on the brakes every once in a while.

The next wars will be fought over this planet with various alien races; the Independence Day aliens who got their butts kicked with Jeff Goldblum's silly computer virus and are looking for revenge; those spider-like things in Starship Troopers who got their butts kicked on their home planet and are also looking for revenge; the Martians who got their butts kicked with grandma's music, ET, who is miffed by Drew Barrymore's refusal to date him...

"while the US keeps going down" You mean this little slowdown?

Yes, thats what they like to call it to avoid total panic. But what is just around the corner is an economic disaster that will make the great depression of 80 years ago look like a picnic. WWII help the US get out of that depression, I wonder how they'll get out of this one.

Well considering that we are China's best export customer and they still haven't built a domsetic economy strong enough to grow without an export market, guess what's going to happen to China if the US goes into a "Great Depression" as you describe? So much for "China keeps going up".

Where's the choice for "All of the above"?
Everton2 at 12:52 AM JST - 8th May

Just ask the Americans, i am sure they will find something to fight about.

The next wars will be fought for the same reasons as all past wars - human stupidity and cupidity.

You are not China's only customer. They will find other customers to compensate for your decline. Anyway, the bully will never let that happen.

"You are not China's only customer. They will find other customers to compensate for your decline. Anyway, the bully will never let that happen."

The world's economies are interconnected. You can't have a "Great Depression" in the United States and not have one in Europe or Asia. And who is the bully? China? I agree.
