Sumario:The present paper offers a view on the collective war carried out currently by world powers. It states that it is a civil war, apart from being worldwide, permanent, sheltered under a state of exception and under International Law, and practiced as “humanitarian intervention” or “peace-keeping missions”. The leaders of such war present it as a “crusade” of Good against Evil (rogue States, narco-traffic, terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism), a “just war” for the wellbeing of markets, democracy, security and freedom.
