Main Idea for next article: Future of War

National wars are coming to an end.

Current war is against a group not a nation. Compare to gang warfare in states.

Groups may include moralist radicals who fight violently for a particular cause. Pop culture example is Whale Wars.

The power of globalization is a deterrent for nation based war.


Nukes are the back up deterrent.

USA Leviathan is proven top dog. Cold War is over.


Look how quickly Iraq military was defeated in open conflict.

Versus Vietnam or Afghanistan.

Korean War another example of limits of Leviathan.

USA need for a partner in crime for policing the world.

China

India and Brazil are similar but smaller.

Traditional allies are weak. See NATO and EU.

Middle East, Central/South America, Africa, and parts of Asia need to join the core. Long term lucrative goals for the smart and willing.
