world war 3 is coming ...do to coronavirus / economy ...

Every now and then someone shows up here and predicts World War III, but World War is not a game that starts because someone wakes up in the morning and wants to play Call of Duty. As stupid as politicians are, they know that such a war would actually mean the complete destruction of the human race, given the weapons we have today. Consequently, you need to understand that it is not in anyone's interest to make war, because that would be a conflict without a winner.
This is the key, wars were far more common in the past because politicians could see themselves gaining something out of the war, whether this was money, prestige or something else, however WW3 is a conflict no one will really win, whoever starts the war will be completely ravaged as most other countries with nuclear capacity will eventually bombard them with nuclear weapons, and even if there are countries that are not as affected by the direct impact of the bombs they will have to deal with the environmental meltdown that will come.
