Ronaldo and Messi should be on the same team.

Earth vs the Moon, Mars and maybe an atmospheric Venus base, triggered over exploitation of lunar resources by multi-planetary corporations, with insufficient compensation, lack of political representation and poor living conditions resulting in an interplanetary terrorist attack that triggers an overwhelming backlash.

I’ll take a potshot and predict it in the 23rd century.

BATTLE ROYALE

I’m sending in that Turkish shooter

China invading Taiwan is gonna be the start of it. It’ll be NATO against a Chinese-Russian-NK alliance.

Just a hunch, but it seems to me that in an event to be called WW3 there would be a lot of infighting. There just appears to be a lot more civil unrest in recent decades, and I just have a feeling it would be a war much more fragmented than the ones before it.

We better hurry it up so that Tim Curry can have a leading role.

A brief history of WW3:

• 2014: Russia annexes a small piece of Ukraine
• 2022: Russia invades Ukraine, leading to ongoing fighting
• 2023: Hamas attacks Israel, leading to ongoing Israeli attacks on Hamas in Gaza
• 2024: Iran attacks Israel, Israel attacks Iran, China attacks Taiwan. US supports Taiwan with munitions, similar to Ukraine
• 2025: China shoots down a US Satellite, bringing the US (directly) into the war. Naval fighting over Indonesia and Pacific Islands
• 2026: people finally start calling it WW3
• 2027-??: hard to say

The US is so divided right now it seems like the other major players won’t mind treating the remnants like bread amongst themselves.
