Next wars -

Britain vs Argentina over Falkland Island oil fields.


Not unless Argentina buys some equipment that works...

USA vs oil states over insults by their leaders, including South America


Not unless there's a major change in US foreign policy. They usually just
forment a coup and deal with the military.

West vs Muslim countries that hide and support terrorists (continuation
of the current war)


The US relationship with Pakistan seems to indicate that it doesn't amtter
who the government is or what they say.

USA vs Iran - they have not forgiven each other plus all that oil


Possible. What will Iran use for weapons?

China vs African countries for African raw materials. (The West
may decide to stay out.)


Interesting idea.

How does China get their army there?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
