In 1933 Winston Churchill warned about the dangers the rise of Nazism would have on our planet and he was shut down, again and again, labelled a warmonger. <br />In 1939 he was proved right and tens of millions of people died in a world wide conflict that political leaders, of the time, refused to accept was a possibility. Maybe even more surprising that this was indeed the case, is the fact that it wasn’t all that long after the last world war, so you’d probably be forgiven for thinking it must have been easier for people of the day to see such a conflict as a possibility. Whereas today there remains only a few people alive that saw world war two and most of them were children at the time. That accompanied by ‘mutually assured destruction’, globalisation and the increase in world trade, with so many economies now being propped up by the trade that they have with other nations, means that the thought of a real third world war seems almost impossible. However… <br /> <br />I am about to explain to you, quite controversially, why we’re not only sleepwalking into yet another global conflict but why we may well have already lost it.
