    Does “third world war” mean “World War III” or a (proxy) war that will happen in third world countries but money-managers in the first world will have strong interest in?

      …both.

      Welcome to the THIRD - WORLD - WAAARS!

      *holds for applause*

      Countries from the west and the east have come together with each their funds to pit third world soldiers against each other in a battle for glorious supremacy. This years games is held in Mogadishu and is sponsored by Coca Cola.

      Each side gets about 15,000 soldiers and each of their countries will recieve a discount on their international debt. The outcome will decide how much dune feathers will cost per freight on the international markets the coming year.

      Who will be the winner? The Eastern dune manufacturers, or western bedding corporations.

      One thing is for certain, it won’t be the soldiers. Grab a hold of that machete and go hack off some of that debt, boys. Maybe a new predatory loan made between the elites of the west, east and Africa will pull Africans out of extreme poverty… but if not, they could of course try again - at the next annual THIRD - WORLD - WAAAARS!

      *applause*

    Headlines like this make me mad at capitalism. Like I try to be fair in my political outlook, but how can anyone see this and not feel it’s beyond disgusting.

    This is getting depressing too quickly :( I always had the hope that world war three would be earth vs the solar colonies instead of just earth vs earth…

    So which stocks should I buy during a war? Do weapons manufacturers or the manufacturing sector in general go up?

      I recommend chicken stock, though, a vegetable one would be nice too and probably cheaper.

      I would probably invest in general electric during a war.

        I am glad economists are so highly paid and trusted. They clearly deserve it. What with their firm unambiguous answers

      If I remember the last time we had it, the rich could buy their way out of it with college enrollments and fake disabilities and shit.
