My guess is that we will see less wars of country fighting against country, and more in-fighting within countries and regions, due to the growing trend toward multiculturalism, without the melting pot effect.
Agreed. True national scale warfare isn't really possible as long as the threat of nuclear "mutually assured destruction" continues to hang over everyone's heads.
Plus the fact that we have collectively become adverse to a "take no prisoners" approach.
Well, we are. I get the distinct impression that the Chinese, Russians, and Indians don't feel quite the same way about it though. :lol:
Ever seen the aftermath of what Putin did to Chechnya ten years back?

The Ruskies don't mess around. lol
To be fair they don't mess around because they are pretty bad at what they do. The photo is from the 1994-1995 battle in which Russia lost nearly 2,000 men killed and several hundred (many speculate it was thousands) wounded and was eventually repulsed from the province. In 2000-2001 they did slightly better with 400 killed along with 500-700 of their local levies benefiting from the collapse of the unified Chechen front. Resorting to massive bombardments and the use of SSM's was a result in part of the collapse of Russian military morale following the atrocious fighting in the 1994-1995 conflict and the necessity of deploying morale boosting firepower to improve the situation.
