WORLD WAR III

It has started, yes it has already started! Actual mega event will take some time, yet the world war III (WWIII) has started. Unlike earlier battles & wars this will be different in its colour & texture. Motives of this war will be different, just quenching enmity & squaring up positions won’t be sole objective of WWIII. Neither will it be sheer conflict between privileged & deprived ones or clash of major religions, some lunatics’ personal revenge against particular community nor somebody’s deep urge to conquer the earth.

The time has changed since WWII. Destruction of WWII would look like that of dismissals of pieces at chess board if WWIII is actual let happen. Fire power or destructive power of the arsenals has increased million fold since WWII & the real fearsome news is it has reached to the incapable hands of their foolish & devilish masters. Think of stock pile of nuclear missiles in the hands of countries known to have them, suspected to have them & secretly in pursuit of either developing or in possession of them. Also think of vehicles carrying them say missiles, fighter planes, carriers & submarines, their pinpoint accuracy has added to the potency of those weapons is simply nightmarish.

Apart from these fire arms there are chemical & biological weapons which are clean weapons altogether. They do their work without leaving any trace of the originator. A packet of powder or a canister full of some unknown gas can bring whole of nation’s population to crippling knees with no known antidote.

If someone thinks this much is the weaponry one can have to win war with the help of military might, it would be foolish to think. New weapons have born with their detrimental potential. Apart from the legendry power of negotiating mental might other weapons are artificial satellites, media, national currency, internet, stock market, fuel technology, fuel oil itself crucial goods needs to be imported etc. etc. Just think of weaknesses of the enemy & you have new weapons in hand everyday.

There could be enemy everywhere & including within the particular nation itself. Developing technology must have brought blessings no doubt, yet the perils on their failure or if they fall in the wrong hands could only be bone chilling. One meticulously developed virus planted in the net & whole worlds’ communication system will come to standstill. Lagging information flow is enough to loose war within minutes in the today’s developed countries. Remember Y2K bubble.

Grab of Iraq, eye on Iran for fuel oils & the whole globe remained meek spectators. Crashing of global currency the US$ since Arabs refused to trade into it is more or less declaration of war against US. Crumbling economy is loosing war. If the US$ exchanging nations through their import & export really bent upon barter or in gold, then US won’t be US. It would loose the war even before it is started.

Birth of AIDS most probably be the bio-engineered virus specially created to bring developing & poor countries to their knees. Proxy war through nourished & cherished mad mercenaries everywhere in the world is on before 9/11 & after too & it will get more & more murkier too.

Yet, there is silver lining to all these black hovering clouds of WWIII & believe it or not or have healthy fruitful debate on, it is nothing but role of positive citizen centric media both print & audio-visual media the world over. Only media can resist, prolong or of course every citizen of the worlds’ wish is never let WWIII happen. It is only aware global citizen can play decisive role in starting or stopping the marching feet of world towards WWIII.
