"Will the economic and financial crisis degenerate into violent social explosions? Tomorrow, will there be civil war in Europe, the United States and Japan? That's the rather alarming conclusion that the experts of European think tank LEAP/Europe 2020 lay out in their latest bulletin dated mid-February."

There seem to be a lot of these kinds of doom-laden predictions floating around. However, LEAP have some kudos in that they predicted the financial collapse back in 2006 - yes, seemingly so did a lot of other people except nobody listened to them then, or nobody in the corporate media wanted to run those stories.

That poverty and panic would spark civil unrest leading to full scale wars between citizens and their governments is not a wholly original prediction. As the report says, most developed nations have a tight control on arms, with the USA being a glaring exception. However, those countries that have statutory military service at least have citizens who know which way round to hold a rifle rather than it being a menace to themselves. Mobs can get ugly but in a country such as the UK there is no quick way to establish any kind of militias, without external support.

I suspect the authorities will try everything so that the general population is not left with "nothing to lose". Unless, of course, this is bait.
