You know it's bad when far right extremism is on the rise again in Germany...
And who will they pick to fight? The World!
A Norm reference made this much less depressing, thank you.
Third time's the charm! /s
Probably, yeah. I don't forsee a WW3 not happening eventually; I just hope it's not in our lifetime.
Just postpone it to 2077
considering we have a record of over 6000 years of overlapping armed conflicts and wars, yes absolutely.
there has not been a single worldwide peaceful day for thousands of years.
it's not 100% sure the ones currently going on will be called world wars. maybe it will be a new one. there's always another war, unfortunately.
It started in 2014 so yeah. We are just not yet to a point where America gets directly involved. We are doing the lend lease thing again.
Came here to say the same thing. Both US and EU: "this is not real, this is not a real war".
In their delusion, are helping Ukraine, but it's a half-ass help. How should a war look to be called a war? Tanks, Aircraft, ships, 1000km trench warfare, ballistic missiles - is that a war?
Proxy war != world war
It's always avoidable. It's also still quite possible
I thought this was an interesting perspective:
It's already underway.
China will attack Taiwan before Christmas. That'll likely be the flashpoint. That's been my two cents for over a year now.
North/South Korea going at it.
North Korea supplying Russia arms to fight Ukraine.
US okaying more and more, blurring NATO lines. NATO is basically involved in the Russia Ukraine war.
China and India appear to be buying Russia oil/gas still, keeping their war machine afloat. Amongst other financial vestments.
Then we have Israel pummeling Palestine. Iran attacking Israel. NATO countries don't agree about whether or not this is a genocide.
When China invades Taiwan, TSMC will shut down their facilities. The US has been pouring billions into semiconductor manufacturing on US soil, because when China invades Taiwan and tscm shuts down, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Nvidia, AMD, Intel, IBM, Meta, Amazon, and many more will be in hot water. Because of this, the US has an insane naval presence and alliance with Japan to protect the South China seas.
This is world war three. It's happening now.

Not so long as nuclear weapons exist. I don't think any country is reckless enough to risk a nuclear exchange, and that won't change until the stress from climate change changes the math.
Climate change is there though. It's not yet reached the "death by the millions" point, but that point being inevitable now, a nation could start thinking about the potential benefits from being the first to strike.
