I would argue that we have been in WW3 for a while ... since this whole "de-globalization" started.

World wars are hard to define ... what started WW2? Is there a single moment in time? Was it Pearl Harbor? Was it the invasion of Poland? By the time the Germans Invaded the conditions for world war had already been around for a while.

I'd argue that we're currently in the "appeasement" phase of WW3 ... I just hope that it's a cold and mostly economic war .... and not one with global drafts and attrition (altho Russia and Ukraine already have broken that barrier)
