Everybody knows that. Even SaparotRob .

I had actually been thinking about relying to that post by MiTasol . I couldn't come up with anything ridiculous. It's obviously a Citabria.

Estonian robots. AI attack drones. North Korean troops engaged in a major European land war. Government shakeups world wide. Lasers. PLAN aircraft carriers.

World War III is already underway. In Ukraine.

Three years in, Russia’s invasion has drawn in dozens of countries.

I keep seeing articles here and there proclaiming that we're in the midst of WWIII - no, we aren't.

Not even close.

So far, it's just a "super power" and a jerkwater third world nation getting it's ass kicked by a smaller nation.

If or when WWIII happens, there will absolutely no mistaking it.

It is WW3. The Axis of Evil isn't doing too well at the moment.

It all depends on your definition of war and world war.

To me two or more countries need to declare war and so far only Russia has - although they do call it by another name.

EDIT - I should have said - To me two or more countries need to declare war or invade another country and so far only Russia has - although they do call it by another name.

The fighting in the middle east has been going on for decades and is a seperate "war", though there are some connections.

The war in Ukraine can be comparable to the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union which was not directly connected to the unfolding wars in Europe and the Pacific.

Now, if Russia plays the idiot card and attacks a NATO country and/or North Korea attacks South Korea, then yes, the stage will be set for a World War and sh!t will get real.

What are the supposed definitions of a World War?

Seems to me that first dimension is 'Unlimited war'. This isn't.

No fully strategic bombing. No firm and fully committed alliances involving 'boots on the ground' beyond mercenary forces and very limited deployment. Only two countries on an economic war footing. Global trade largely continuing as normal, and diplomatic and sporting functions continuing largely as normal.

If those trying to hype this into WW3 are using the current situation as what defines a 'world war', then it seems to me that Korea or Gulf #1 would also pretty much qualify?
