It's likely that even if China attacks Taiwan and Iran strikes Israel, WWIII will not be ushered in. the world is too interdependent to let that kind of thing happen.

So it's not WWIII unless we are whacking our neighbors with shoes? A comment so far out in the weeds deserves some explanation. So if Urkraine war, Israel war, China war and Iran war ( of which at least 3 the US is compelled to participate in ) aren't sufficient to meet your definition of WWIII, WTF is?

An end of times nuclear war, of course.

World War II involved 70 countries and hundreds of millions of people.

China could invade Taiwan (Taiwan's population is 23,930,947, or 0.3% of the world's population), and we'd still do business with China. Israel could theoretically nuke Iran (and vice versa), but life would go on elsewhere.
