That time is upon us. I agree that Capitalist Organization [G20,WTO,etc] has prevented at least one major conflict, but it would appear to have done that by fomenting and/or suppressing the conflicts of smaller groups. The weapons get sold, but the stockpiles stay evenish.
This is falling apart. Moscow was backed into a corner, and the bet a lot the US, NATO, and EU would do nothing substantial in the face of naked force. They won that hand. This makes every player at the table more gutsy or more scared.
Incipient Muslim region-states blossom across the globe, every single one of them in an area where rampant capitalism was used, and abused, to modernize[sic] the region.
