For a number of significant macro trends, it seems as though what will be marketed as World War 3 will likely happen around 2030. I say this for the following reasons.
Fortress America
The United States is going to implode into itself sometime around 2025 when the Republican fascists take control. They will proceed to “Make America First” and pull all our troops out of countries across the globe. The United States will leave NATO, etc. This will destabilize the world order in a rather spectator fashion.
Power Vacuum
It will take a little while to do this — maybe five years or so, and, so, by about 2030, the world will descend into something akin to a world war.
Wildcard: American Civil War / Revolution
Now, the above assumes that the United State’s transition into an autocratic managed democracy will be peaceful. It’s possible that the United States will violently implode in the 2024-2025 timeframe and World War 3 will happen then, not in 2030.
Regardless, we’re fucked.
