With Russia in Ukraine, Israel facing terrorism from multiple sides largely funded by Iran. With the addition of Iran into BRICS, which is for now only an economic alliance (I bet you this changes) and the obvious leveraging of such nations by larger nations to sabre rattle a la North Korea. Chinas loud statement that they will reunite with Taiwan, maybe more soon than anticipated due to the current world disarray and surely a computer simulator would predict a good chance of a 3rd World War.
The circumstances Israel is facing with Hezbollah and Hamas alone could escalate these issues. It would be quite different from the first two World Wars as there are many organized terrorist groups around the world that could play a role and the Wests adversaries have far more smaller nations they could rope in to the combat.
Of course I hope I am wrong. I am especially concerned as the young men of military age in the West have little interest in fighting, the lines blurred for them as to who the good guys and bad guys are.
It's frightening how quickly the world has shift in such a short period of time due to the massive expanded success of Americas enemies.
