    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.

      The article agrees with you, and says your portfolio will be the least of your worries.

    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?

    …my fire

    The one desire

    Believe when I say

    I want it that way

    But we are two worlds apart

    Can’t reach to your heart

    When you say

    That I want it that way

    Tell me why

    Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache

    Tell me why

    Ain’t nothin’ but a mistake

    Tell me why

    I never wanna hear you say

    I want it that way

    Am I your fire?

    Your one desire

    Yes, I know it’s too late

    But I want it that way

    Tell me why

    Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache

    Tell me why

    Ain’t nothin’ but a mistake

    Tell me why

    I never wanna hear you say

    I want it that way

    Now I can see that we’ve fallen apart

    From the way that it used to be, yeah

    No matter the distance, I want you to know

    That deep down inside of me

    You are my fire

    The one desire

    You are (you are, you are, you are)

    Don’t wanna hear you say

    Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache

    Ain’t nothin’ but a mistake (don’t wanna hear you say)

    I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)

    I want it that way

    Tell me why

    Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache

    Tell me why

    Ain’t nothin’ but a mistake

    Tell me why

    I never wanna hear you say (don’t wanna hear you say)

    I want it that way

    Tell me why

    Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache

    Ain’t nothin’ but a mistake

    Tell me why

    I never wanna hear you say (don’t wanna hear you say)

    I want it that way

    'Cause I want it that way
