The "rules based order" and "end of history" that we gleefully revelled in post-cold war is eroded enough for such thoughts of all out war to be entertained.
We're no longer the absolutely dominant force in the world and we've got to resort to old fashioned warfare (everyone conveniently forgetting about the existence of nukes) to reassert our fading power.
The difference is that people aren't as easily to fool now as they were in 1914-18.
1914...newpaper and the wireless
today....the controlled and paid for media

How do you think the "MSM " was ever paid for? It got Trump into the WH, God help us.
How do you think the media you prefer is funded? In some cases, by far more sinister sources, but in the main by writing "news" for idiots which generates clicks and revenue.
The naivety is breath taking.
