For it be a world war, much of the world has to be directly involved.
I am sure we will have many large wars. But I am not certain these large wars would necessarily truly become world wars.
On the scale of a true war by real great powers, the wars we have today are all trivial skirmishes.
Just think, during WWII, maybe >25% of the world's total productivity was directly dedicated to fighting. How much of the world's total productivity is spent on defense today? 3%?
These 18 so called wars happening today, how much of the world's total productivity are they absorbing? 0.1%?
Let's not become overawed by histrionics and lose all historic perspective here.
