When a country can't feed itself it's aggression is counted in the number of walking corpses they have to pile up at your walls. You can only fight so long as your rations hold out. Not saying this to disagree, just commenting on how a starving WW3 would be fucking terrible...but probably less lethal, itself, than the starving. Imagine having the desire and the need to assault some neighboring city for food....but knowing that you're all just too weak to carry it out, lol.
You've misread me. Society as we know it -will- crumble. That's just not a bad thing to me (I wish some parts of it would crumble faster than others, but meh). Our society is built over the rubble to our great benefit. Ours will be added to that pile one day. Everything will be fine, for them...and I'm taking the hypothetical as a chance to live on vicariously through whomever (and whatever) we become. Based on the past, we make a mean shit sandwich, when handed a turd. Not really ignoring that we could still point to at and say "that's shit", just trying to keep it in perspective.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
