My heart and prayers go out to the victims , their families, and their friends. Very sad day, not only in the UK, but for the rest of the world. Since the start of the Cold War and up until present day, people have often predicted the start of World War 3. WW3 was envisioned as a nuclear conflict with conventional armies waging war across the globe. That form of warfare has never happened. But after a few months of reflecting on events that have occurred over the past decade, I very much believe World War 3 has not only begun, but has been happening since 2001. September 11th began a new stage of warfare. A globalized conflict where nation states continue to engage in conventional military strategy, while their adversaries counter with evolving asymmetrical warfare. The modern terrorist has adopted the methods of Fourth Generation Warfare and is becoming more sophisticated in their targeting and ability to carry out attacks. Unfortunately the majority of free nations have had severe difficulty in successfully countering these strategies. Sometimes that is due to politics, lack of funding, misdirection of resources and personnel, poor training, or a combination of all these things. But one thing for certain is that this world has become a much scarier place. And it is the sad reality that the government and police cannot always be there to protect you. It is wise to learn to safeguard yourself and your loved ones from harm. Engaging in a proactive manner could very well one day save your life. Be ever vigilant, and be safe my friends.
