Talk:Scenario: World War III/@comment-116.15.172.55-20140810163159

What about economic and trade warfare? Cyber (Edward Snowden, intelligences)? Even media warfare? Not paying any attention to these, in the highly globalized economic world of today, is blatant ignorance, even for a war scenario. Countries nowadays pretty much don't need (that many) troops to fight wars anymore.

When the real war comes, be surprised when American, Russian, Chinese and Indonesian hackers start screwing up your emails, wikis, social medias (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) when they target your servers (or otherwise shooting missiles at news satellites, so aloha GPS). Be surprised when the Arabs go all-out and blow up their oil supplies, and all oil-based public and private transport networks collapse. Be surprised when economic sanctions lead to food shortage and mass panics and riots in big cities. Oh what fun.
