All the theories I read have to have a lot of things line up for it to actually start. However know one has been talking about who would win and mainly I think its because there can be no winners this time around with all the new weapons and bomb tech most countries now own.
My bet is USA vs. China over Taiwan
China watched Ukraine fail. They’re likely building ten million drones at the moment.
We’re practically there. If Poland or Belarus had rolled into the Ukraine conflict (most likely Belarus attacking Ukraine and Poland sending peace keeping troops), we’d have been in a world war with a limited nuclear exchange pretty soon.
trump gets re-elected.....
Yeah, because it’s not like he’s the only president since Carter to not have any wars on his watch…
the iranian general missile strike was incredible. That man literally has the luck of the devil.
It’s crazy that no one has mentioned Israel yet. The Middle East has been unstable, bloody, violent for so long, and the mess is so complicated that it always had my vote. Remember that Israel is a tiny country with nuclear weapons surrounded by countries who have vowed to destroy it
My guess is fairly general but something along the following lines:
Climate change fueled freak weather occurrence/years of such lead to massive food insecurity (or massive influx of refugees from a nearby country suffering from the above) in a poor but nuclear armed nation (think Pakistan) leading them to freak out and elect someone crazy (like America did with trump when they went from being the richest country in the world to still the richest country in the world.
Results: crazy threats, escalations, someone launches a pre-emptive attack or there’s a coup, nuclear weapons are launched in the havoc and then things really spiral.
So Fallout?

It will come out of some damned silly thing in the Balkans.
