How and why?
Very low probability for those specifically and even less likely to play out that way…There are several ways it could potentially happen. Here are just a few of the more likely ones:
China finally makes good on their long-held conviction to use military force if necessary to reunify Taiwan, or they resort to using military means to enforce their claims of sovereignty in the South China Sea. Either of those scenarios could easily result in direct confrontation between China and USA.
Another would be if Russia's war on Ukraine escalates, which could happen if a Russian missile were to accidentally hit a neighboring NATO country, or Russia resorts to using a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine, for example.
Another would be if Israel launches a major attack on their archrival, Iran, to prevent them from building a nuke. Iran is a close ally of Russia, and Israel is a close ally of the USA. That could lead to a direct conflict between Russia and USA.
Even if none of those things happen, the new arms race between Russia, China, and USA--especially to weaponize space--greatly increase the chances of direct conflict. And as these countries race to leverage AI for military advantage, the chances of nuking each other unintentionally increases.
For what reasons then?Very low probability for those specifically and even less likely to play out that way…
However, it were to be a world wide conflict between any of the current players, it would likely be something between the US and China but not for those reasons.
There's another thread actually that has discussed this in detail, I encourage you to check it outDo you really there will be?
the meme is partly a jokeFor what reasons then?
I've discussed this at length in the other threadFor what reasons then?
I can only hope so - wouldn't mind a wee nuke to take me out of my misery

Well Russia's forces are already stretched thin, exhausted and bogged down. So they can't materially sustain an invasion. Russia isn't allied with Hamas, they just historically back Palestine. But its like Syria - you just have countries shipping aide and money and mercenaries. Again, Russia doesn't have the capability to deploy. Russia is a declining power with an aging population.Thank you for your opinion.
Why do you think we're already in WW3?WW1 & WW2 were only named that afterwards.
I believe we are in WW3, way waayyy past the face slapped by a glove stage.
I hope theres big missiles. When the 17 (I think) minute warning beeps I will grab my Baileys & chocolate, go outside, sit facing East & eat, drink, wait and watch
Im scared of biological warfare. Or outside the blast zone of a nuke..
Hi, wow. Not a one sentence answer.Why do you think we're already in WW3?
Too many nations still participate in bloc politics for a small scale conflict between any one of them to not spiral into a world war. I can't see it changing in time before a 3rd world warWhy do you think so?
