It began September 11th, 2001.
Since then, the attacks on the middle east have escalated... coming up with every excuse under the sun to justify going into battle with the next
country in line and so forth. Ultimately, spreading out many allied countries' manpower, munitions, and monies throughout these various middle
eastern "terrorist" countries.
Eventually, it will escalate to the point of full on attack of Iran or some other significant middle eastern country, possibly even Israel (not from
us of course). From this, allied countries will spread themselves even thinner which will then be the opportune moment for North Korea to attack
South Korea, and maybe even China jumping in to attack Taiwan.
Then allied forces from both sides (whoever decides to play on whomever's side of the field) will develop quickly into full blown war with each
other.
We're currently in the build up of this climax.
We just haven't recognized and labelled it as such yet.
The same build up happened with WW1 and WW2. It wasn't until full scale war was announced before it was recognized as an actual "world" war.
Hindsight is 20/20.
What constitutes a world war ?
A world war is a war affecting most of the world's most powerful and populous countries. World wars span multiple countries on multiple
continents, with battles fought in multiple theaters.
