I hate being the bearer of bad news but a world war is inevitable - and it's not a question of if but when.
Nations don't spend billions and trillions of dollars on military arsenal for fun or the FOMO.

People have started wars over the most trivial things Eg over a woman, a signed piece of paper, some crappy piece of land, a sea channel, a flag, what somebody said, over a pastry shop, some religious belief, a punting review, a touched up photo etc

A recent war we had in Oz was the 'great emu war'....and the Western Australian army lost.
