WWIII isn’t going to play out as many fear. It’s happening now in increments, political divide, orchestrated mass migration to the West that can bring about civil wars, hot wars, the threat of wars, global economic instability. All of which is predictable and will continue to increase and come in waves, what isn’t predictable is how it will play out, no one knows, not a single person on this planet can expect and envision how it’s going to play out as expected.
Though maybe… war spreading in Europe, Middle East and something happening in the US and china exploiting an opportunity is possible soon, then a period of calm for a few years then the big one.
