      Russia invading Ukraine. Israel attacking Iran. India attacking Pakistan. Nazi America threatening to annex Greenland.

      Sure buddy, it’s ‘just’ America involved here.

        All of those have been going on for, what, decades? Greenland is the only new one on the list. In no way is this a world war. Unless WW3 started in 2014?

      Hey just a reminder: NONE of the world wars started because they all got up on the same day and started shooting each other.

      If you get to point and laugh a year from now about how you were right and we were wrong, be thankful for it. Right now we’ve got a lot of individual active armed conflicts, often overlapping with others, including the fucking Middle East (you might want to peek at some of the history there). If we don’t already meet the technical criteria for a world war, we’re a half a step away.
