   Where we are right now is very different from where the world was right before WW1 in a lot of ways, but things are feeling pretty powder keggy nonetheless.

     @ArdainianRight It seems like we are going to have both WWIII and Civil War II simultaneously.

     I really hope this is not the case.

     I do think an expanded war in the Middle East could easily lead to pressures that break up the US. The social fabrics that once motivated young men to give their lives in the military are gone, and any attempts at conscription could easily spark revolt. It's one thing to go along with a fake and gay regime because you're too lazy and comfortable, it's quite another when you're forced into action. Vietnam draft backlash tore the nation apart when it was far more socially cohesive, and the population was far fitter.
     
     But really, the US government is far more of a load-bearing pillar for the global order than many realize. Even an internal crisis that falls far short of total war or total collapse could have massive ramifications. What happens if foreign aid to Africa and the Middle East dry up? I'm not even convinced we'll have an organized "World War 3" with discrete power blocs, more like a wave of regional wars due to the power vacuum caused by an America rendered impotent by internal divisions and economic turmoil. All semi-advanced nations are too old and decadent to really be able to stomach the kind of total war mobilization that occurred in the World Wars.
