We are accustomed these days to believe that world wars are so last century, and that such a catastrophe could not occur any longer.

Really?

The Middle East is still a powder-keg waiting for a spark, Japan essentially went to war with America in WW2 to restore its supplies of oil (Strait of Hormuz anybody?), and either Russia or NATO are hell-bent on provoking the other in the Ukraine (one of these must be hell-bent or this idiocy would have been resolved long ago).

So will the spat between Europe (or should that be Britain?) and Russia become a fully fledged war?
