I’m afraid it’s more likely that you believe. We can only hope it’s a minor conflict. But no, it’s all looking more like a global conflict between bifurcated economies that will take out a large slice of the world population.
Which is sad because we just got through a “once in a generation” pandemic only blow ourselves up with the weapons of war.
History repeats itself in cycles.
Not only do I agree that WW III is likely, I think we’re probably already in it.
Remember that the date given in hindsight for both previous world wars is long before anyone thought they were in such a conflict.

The US is planning on putting boots on the ground* in Palestine and Trump launched that assassination of an Iranian general. I think it's only a matter of time before that situation blows up.
Russia and China both have their own tensions in the Middle East. It's an extremely volatile situation and no one seems to be pulling us back from the brink.
*Technically, they're going to put boots on a floating pier and attach the pier to Palestine.
