    Here’s an idea: what if we bomb the hell out of every other industrialized nation again, so the US can enjoy another decade of easy economic dominance?

    With Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine, we only need one more sizeable conflict to label it World War III, right?

      The issue is having simultaneous wars doesn’t make it one big war. The Korean war was much closer to WWIII because there were active troops from many countries fighting in 1 war, and superpowers opposing each other with troops, but it still wasn’t WWIII because it was contained to just the Korean front.
