Could world war 3 be inevitable?

[Basiyu]

As we can all see how remorseless the russia invasion to ukraine have been and how the fight have lasted more than expected,and also seen countries like America,
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan,Latvia, Lithuania,Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Korea etc have been supporting the Ukraine.
While other countries like North korea,Belarus, Syria, Eritrea,Nicaragua, Venezuela, Kyrgyzstan,iran,china,india,myanmar,mali etc have also been backing Russia respectively in the ongoing war.
My question now is how long will these powerful countries keep backing russia and ukraine before it decisively eventuate to world war |||?

I hope there is no WW3 imminent. What leads me to think it won’t happen is because of the sheer devastation it’d wreak on the world. Nuclear weapons of mass destruction would be used, it’d be too dangerous. All countries would fear being sent some back in return if they decided to engage first. Any potential multi nation conflict would more likely be carried out via sanctions, cutting off food lines etc. I do not think we will see an actual war.

These nations you mentioned might be supporting either Russia or Ukraine but none of them want to be directly involved in fighting. They can give arms, money, or other support but joining the war is always never an option because these nations know the consequences of war. The First and second world war was devastating to many countries but a third world war might lead to Armageddon. The kind of arms and ammunition most nations have now has the potential of causing colossal damage to the world. And I am sure Russia, NATO, and their supporter know the consequences of a third world war and none of them will be willing to go through such a risky adventure. The amount of chemical, biological, and military weapons at the disposal of many nations now are enormous and it will take the world centuries to recover from the release of these deadly weapons. I am sure all of them want peace now because both parties didn't expect the war in Ukraine to last this long. But if the war finally erupts or starts, it will surely lead to the rise of new world powers because the current world powers with come out of the war powerless because of the colossal losses they will experience.

yes,we can learn the past ww1 and ww2. many people dead more than 100million people including civilian. Now we risk nuclear war, if they push too far.
I don't like ww3, when the internet, today's world information is easier and faster to find out, just like japan in the past century so they don't want to repeat that mistake again

No one will ever want this to happen especially for those that have witnessed something similar to this before, it will cost a lot of lost of lives especially the innocent souls, people's displacement, destruction of goods and properties, unrest and fear, economy inbalances and lots of threats, we can take the good example of the experience and consequences with the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and maybe learn.

[yazher]

We know it could happen someday because powerful countries always have a financial budget when it comes to war research and they always update their ammunition to the point when they created Nuclear Weapons that can actually destroy Human Civilizations on Earth. Thankfully most conflicts right now don't result in a quick war like in the old era where they quickly mass up and wage war against their enemy country. right now, they are always careful not to go first because they are calculating the deadly consequences. If it's me, I don't want any war because I know how tough it is to migrate all the time and you will gonna missed the comfortable bed you have at home once the war will broke out.

[Queentoshi]

No matter, I do not want the situation to develop into a full scale war as serious as WWIII. Many innocent people will die and become displaced, Many properties will be destroyed before the war will stop. That crisis will spoil everything and every activity that someone has planned to do to better their life. Maybe it will help Bitcoins become more popular among people, but many Bitcoins will be lost too, many people who have them will die, may passphrase will be lost. The changes that Russia and Ukraine crisis have brought will be nothing compared to the changes if the war involves more countries.

[tsaroz]

If we think of the human nature, I think it's inevitable. We've been away of combined confrontation among nations for quite a time now.
A war involving two different groups of a number of countries spanning over different continents could be called a world war.
Current events of nations forming an association to isolate others, there would come another counter-association that tackles them.
When a large number of country finds war to be a more beneficial way of sorting out their status, and their own population tend to favor it regardless of the pain, there would be a world war.

[BADecker]

What would you call all the wars since WW2? Police actions? Some of them were rather large.

If WW3 happens, it will not be a devastating as many think. Even if it is nukes, and billions die, all it will do is send the living back to the stone age... temporarily. Technical knowledge will not be lost completely. So, people will start back up into the next technical age fairly soon.

[Hispo]

As Venezuelan, I would like to let you know something about this government and other governments which are not necessarily super powers and are in favor of Russia, we do it not because we are in favor of an invasion, it is because we likely owe a lot of money to Russia and China... So we cannot lose the "good relationships" between our benefactors.

If we lost those, then there may noone who would help us to face other antagonist administrations, in the case of Venezuela, we have problems with USA and the European Union.

[Wakate]

In case you are not prepared for the imminent war that may surface soon, you need to look for the safest place to be if the war start. I can see that American government want to sanction South Africa for joining the BRICS countries because of they have what it takes. So many things are happening and the war had affected a lot of people especially those living in Ukraine and the victim of the war. Now Ukraine government really wants to negotiate because there country is almost destroyed and it's going to take a lot of years for things to be normal building there country again.

Powerful countries? Everything else than China on that list are third world countries compared to countries backing Ukraine.

Third world war would be close if USA would withdraw from Nato or that alliance would fall apart somehow. After that there would be less deterrent keeping Russia in check.
Russia would definitely try to push some buttons like see what happens if they "accidentally" violated some airspaces again, and some other tactics they have tried before.

A lot of nations did sanction Russia in the demonstration with Ukraine and still, we have them persisting in there affairs. Sanctions only work as much as nations allow them to and these nations are out there seeking alternatives to the benefits they are getting.
Let's not forget, they are sovereign and having to question there decisions is an infringement of there sovereignty.

I don't see a world war three occurring, just a reshuffling of world order and this would happen peacefully.

[OgNasty]

You probably need to first come up with a definition for a World War that everyone agrees with. According to what Joe Biden said, it would seem we are already in World War 3. I don’t think the current conflicts are going to continue escalating for much longer. In 18 months I think sanity will be restored and we can begin healing from the covid nightmare and all the chaos it caused. We just need to try and make it through the rest of this insane administration’s stolen time in office.

Nothing like world war III coming and no one ever expect that coming because it's not something they can contain if it started, one or the fear we all run for is the introduction of nuclear weapons, this alone is what other countries can use to oppress the others if they are not interested in what they see others doing, but regarding the reshuffling of world order, this will beba contention for the quest of those that have the more power to threat others to be in rule or make their stand stay a d it also have to do with power tussles.

I also believe we won't see an actual war but not because of the point you used. The people that take part in wars don't actually care about the havoc they wreak on their enemies. They may think about how it would wreck their own country, but they believe it is the only way to fight back.
Russian didn't think about the havoc it would unleash when it went ahead and started an all out invasion on Ukraine. Even if they did think about it, they didn't care.
I believe WW3 will not happen because there are bodies to make sure it doesn't happen. If those bodies fail, then we might be in a lot of trouble.
WW3 should be the dear of everybody alive. There will be no winners in a war like that. The whole world would be in shambles.

[Victan22]

     In a very concise response I will say we are already in it already but it is yet to physically escalate.
When different countries are weighing their support on Russia and some on Ukraine you will agree with me that this is a typical proxy war if not so the war between Ukraine and Russia would have ended a long time.

[Gyfts]

Russia might bring out the nukes before "WW3" is declared.

No one is willing to sacrifice their security and safety over Ukraine or Russia. NATO will gladly supply arms to Ukraine to curb Russian aggression and that will be the extent of their support. I recall the lunacy in the early days of the initial invasion of people calling for a no-fly zone to be established over Ukraine -- that was a ticket to WW3. Thankfully, the West didn't cave to the military industrial complex (for once!)

[OgNasty]

War isn’t so easy to define anymore. I personally believe we are at war though. The flood of drugs killing Americans, the rise of mental illness, our food supply chain being destroyed, outright lies being told by our government. All of this doesn’t happen without major outside influence. I think you’d have to be not paying attention to not see that America is under attack.

Since Russia is losing terrain every day in the battlefield there is no risk of WW3 from this war.All these powerful countries will not be happy to serve Russia in such a reckless behavior and they will not be willing to spend any amount of money,reserves,man power just to help Putin imperial ill dreams fantasy,it does not work like that.

Most likely the war will end in 2024 or it could have been sooner if US provided Ukraine with long range weapons and now the Biden administration is seriously looking to provide Ukraine such weapons which would end the war sooner than expected.
