5 Places World War III Could Start in 2020 | The National Interest
First rule of crises: Nobody cares. Yell fire in a crowded theater and nothing will happen. People in a crisis often won't react properly. A little more panic please. I guess that applies to nuclear war too.
Second rule of crisis: The probably is really small. Sure, like a growing forest. Small probably of major fire. 100 years later, and you didn't even notice, the entire forest is ready to burn down to the ground. Societies need a maximum of 60 to 80 years since last big crisis before they are ready to experience another major crisis.
A conflict between Iran (and its allies) and Israel could lead to World War III. An Iran-Israel war would almost certainly include Syria. All parties have already said that this coming war is going to be real bad. What if Israel ends up nuking Syria like in Isaiah 17? According to the Russian nuclear doctrine, if a Russian ally (Syria) gets nuked then Russia reserves the right to nuke back. Would Russia and China nuke the US in retaliation for Israel nuking Syria?
We know from history that about the time the people from the last major crisis (World War II) have all died out, the US becomes susceptible all over again. We are in the danger zone right now.
