10/20/30 years war

[David S Poepoe]

For the most part I think it unlikely that wars upon a global scale will last longer than 5-6 years, as an estimate. National finances would prohibit lengthy wars as nations go bankrupt. As with Japan during the Russo-Japanese War there are financial endurances that may lead to defeat even if ones armies are victorious. It would be a war of attrition, both of manpower and national wealth.
