Remember World War II?

As I look around at the unrest in the world, any of you who have studied history well (or who were alive at the time of World War II can recognize the similarity to now. Though we now live in a completely different era with 3 or 4 times as many people on earth as then and we also have nuclear weapons so something like World War II couldn't happen now without extincting all life on earth, still it is important to note that all the similar types of things are happening to then with all the saber rattling from both China and Russia. (The natives are restless).

So, if you put Russia and China in place of who Germany and Japan were in World War II I think you get the picture of what is happening now.

In China even though 300 million people have lives comparable to the U.S.  1.1 billion people in that country are some of the poorest, and sickest people on earth with 300 million people with various types of Tuberculosis for one thing. So, they have as many people dying with Tuberculosis (all strains) as they have with lives comparable to the U.S.

Think about that for a moment. So, the latest housing downturn and other problems now in China from Growing way too fast is killing people from bad air, bad pollution in the waters, pollution in the food etc. So, more people likely are dying everyday from the pollution in China than are benefiting from all the growth of China the last 10 or 20 years. This likely is not disputable.

So, the 50,000 uprisings a year that are all violently put down without human rights being considered might be important to think about. In other words China is a bomb with little explosions going off every day.

So, having small wars to distract the people of China from being really pissed off with how badly the 1.1 billion are being treated is one way for China to keep going through these times.

A similar thing is going on in Russia during the mass suppression of human rights during the Putin Administration. The only thing allowed to be going on now in Russia is Oil production because of the corruptness of the Putin Administration. He and his cronies take a cut of everything leaving many people starving. The same can be said of the Chinese government as well.

So, it is in the interests of both China and Russia to make small proxy wars with countries like Japan or Viet Nam or Ukraine or Syria to distract the public in China and Russia from what is actually going on which is the financial rape of both countries in relation to the middle  class or lower in economic well being.

But then, the rest of the world is left with the mess of Ukraine, Syria, and possibly Viet Nam and Japan. And this is what might be coming next.

However, warfare isn't going to look like World War II because of nuclear weapons. It is going to look exactly like what is happening in Ukraine and Syria with a slightly different style of war for whatever China decides to do next in Viet Nam and Japan. And Sanctions and Trade Wars will become more common than actual violence beyond   the riots against China in Viet Nam that killed some and injured many recently.

And the wild card in all this is actually the United States. Because how things go mostly will decide upon how the U.S. wants to play this crazy game Russia and China are starting now.
