I doubt if it’ll bring about the 3rd world war tho..my views on what might bring it closer than expected is if American Zonal General in charge of African/American forces Gen Langley invades Burkina Faso and then are repelled by Russian forces then it’ll escalate quickly than expected as the Sahel states are rich in Gold and Coals used to build batteries in our electric cars, phones and anything that has to do with batteries so it’ll be a fight for control of natural resources which the new digital world would strive on..
