The centenary observations of the ending of World War I
gives us cause to study and learn from history.
A prime cause of WW I was mindless nationalism, which continued
after the War. Populism grew in the 1920s and, with nationalism, led to World
War II.
Now the world is reverting to nationalism and populism,
making World War III
a likelihood.
Unlike the previous wars, WW III will be fought with
weaponized Electronics, Economics, and Energy. Domination, not destruction, of
opponents will be the goals, because this will allow the winner to exploit those
subjugated. Consider it an updated form of colonialism.
The way to combat this trend is with education and by
example. Teaching the lessons of history – how nationalism and populism will
lead to strife, poverty, and loss of freedom. Working together, helping each other, we will create
an exemplary world.
We must offer the world a better future – one that leads to
peace, prosperity and freedom for all mankind.
