So what nation state serves to gain from the idealogical/religious warfare of the anti-fraccer/anti-pipeline/anti-coal/anti-railtransport of oil bunch? And what ideology drives their nation state?

The two are not exclusive. Nation states are driven by ideaolgies--it is that which separates them from other nation-states. That asymmetrical warfare would include all aspects is no surprise, be they economic or ideological in appearance.

We’ll know it, when we see the bright flashes. Until then, it’s mostly hyperbolic speech filled with funny metaphors.

Did anyone who was alive in 1945 believe that the Cold War had already started?

George Patton so believed and wanted to warm it up. Stalin and his vast network of agents/spies knew it was on, but wanted to keep us thinking it was cold to better their head start.

There is no such thing as “Palestinians”.

Should ISIS make good on their threat to kill the Pope, the result will make Shock and Awe look like a wet firecracker.

WWII did start when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, not earlier not later

Sorry, but World War II (1914-1918) and World War III (1938-1945) are over. We are still engaged in World War I (714-present).

World War I and World War II were just one big war with a long pause.

I was alive in 1945, but then I was only four years old

Yes—it started in 2001 at 9-11. Its still going on with fights in North Africa and the Middle East and others. It will not be an easy victory but first we must believe we are in a war.

9/11/01. Tactically, it was not a large blow - but its relevance as a WWIII start date is that the world (or those parts of it choosing to pay attention) realized that the actions taken that day had tens of millions of sympathizers.

I think it's a shooting war and it started with GWB invading Iraq and forcing regime change.

911 is another possibility to be the first event of WW3. But it didn't have to start the downhill slide. If GWB had worked to make the US safe (like getting rid of illegals and keeping them out) instead of destabilizing the mideast, things might not have reached this point.

Here is something interesting (Long article)

Cold War

Dating the end of the Cold War requires dating its beginning, which requires defining what it was about. By one reckoning, the Cold War began in the 1945-1948 timeframe, and ended in 1989, having been a dispute over the division of Europe. By another account, the Cold War began in 1917 with the Bolshevik Revolution, and ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union, having been a conflict between Bolshevism and Democracy.

If WWII was from 1914 to 1918, when was WWI then?

The pope's observation begs the question...

Another writer who doesn't know what "begs the question" means.

Aaron Klein and Michael Voris also don't know what it means.

9/11/2001 was the beginning of World War 3. The United States became a military state. Including the introduction the Patriot Act 1 and 2. The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. The destabilization of the Taliban and Saddam Hussein's ruling.

Its all to long to put into words but I'll explain our current situation. What we are witnessing is something I never thought I would ever witness. We are heading into our 3rd religion war at the same time a heating of the Cold War. NATO, UN, and the United States and allies have invaded countless countries creating new enemies when they killed the original ones. The 12th Imam and the Book of Revelations to me are the same story. Just one is an antagonist and the other a protantagonist. Chaos is needed for both story lines to come alive. I hope I'm wrong and this does not end up in thermanuclear warfare. But from my understandings of history, human behavior, the strange in the natural cycles of the Earth and Cosmo. Something is happening and we are not prepared. There is no way to prepare for the end of days.

Africans view the war in the Congo as WWIII; at least seven countries fighting for years, over 2 million already dead, and nobody gives a hoot.

Yep, I hope Google Earth view of Mecca will show one shiny smudge in the sand.
