This is in my opinion a very well made and plausible future. I am more interested in the revolution aspect of the video over the idea of a possible WWIII. It is 13 minutes and see what you make of it, do you think he makes a good point and does he back it up well?

Seen groups like anonymous and they seem like their fueled by anger and hatred this only adds to confusion no lasting changes would be made by merely killing off soldiers whom the banks and corrupt egotistical people pulling the strings control. They are trying to keep this corrupt economy going and the only way to end it would be to become self sufficient greatly reducing their influences.
However, with that said, I have recently been trying to see the myriad injustices that the U.S.--and other countries--as principles that are naturally being acted out. Getting bogged down in the particular details (which may or may not be accurate in all cases) only to despair of the situation is not beneficial for anyone. Rather, see it as nothing but the nature of the beast. In other words, ANY country that would arise out of this or similar historical and cultural conditions would behave in the same way.
And, if you read history, you'll find just that. The general principle of hubris is the natural consequence of power and greed--it could not be otherwise: All countries come to power, let it get to their collective heads, overreach, and consequently lose much of their power--and not without suffering. The U.S. is no different--and the U.S. is a young country in comparison to many others. This cycle has been going on since ancient Sumeria and will likely continue as long as there are the three poisons. This is just a manifestation of that on a larger, collective scale. And it is not unusual for victors in a revolution end up repeating the exact same mistakes as their original oppressors.
This doesn't mean that one should therefore not care what injustices are being committed by different countries--but it does give a healthier perspective on such matters. This then calls not for despair or anger but compassion--not only for the powerless victims, but for those wielding that power against them.
That doesn't mean I always succeed in seeing it this way! --but it is something I do try to bear in mind.
As a reformed (or semi reformed) perfectionist, I can tell you that life becomes easier when you let go of trying to control these things...
“Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.”
Greed, ego and delusion is the name of the game and IMO it has gone too far at the top levels of governments. The US government is too strong and too big to be stopped, a revolution wouldn't happen IMO as if the worst came to the worst I think they may even start killing off it's own people, maybe biological weapons who knows.
The fact remains that many of the points made in the video are happening and have happened, the petrol dollar, reasons for doing what America has done and maybe where we are headed. What can we do about it, I really do not know.
