Ronaldo and Messi should be on the same team.

You know they aren't tennis players right?

They just thought they were funny because you said "players" and they purposefully misconstrued it for internet high fives

Earth vs the Moon, Mars and maybe an atmospheric Venus base, triggered over exploitation of lunar resources by multi-planetary corporations, with insufficient compensation, lack of political representation and poor living conditions resulting in an interplanetary terrorist attack that triggers an overwhelming backlash.

I'll take a potshot and predict it in the 23rd century.

China invading Taiwan is gonna be the start of it. It'll be NATO against a Chinese-Russian-NK alliance.

Will. Iran be part of it? I guess yes and Israel on the other side.

More like Russia annexing Crimea will be the start of it.

Or rather, will be described as the start of it by future historians.

Just a hunch, but it seems to me that in an event to be called WW3 there would be a lot of infighting. There just appears to be a lot more civil unrest in recent decades, and I just have a feeling it would be a war much more fragmented than the ones before it.

We better hurry it up so that Tim Curry can have a leading role.

A brief history of WW3:

  • 2014: Russia annexes a small piece of Ukraine
  • 2022: Russia invades Ukraine, leading to ongoing fighting
  • 2023: Hamas attacks Israel, leading to ongoing Israeli attacks on Hamas in Gaza
  • 2024: Iran attacks Israel, Israel attacks Iran, China attacks Taiwan. US supports Taiwan with munitions, similar to Ukraine
  • 2025: China shoots down a US Satellite, bringing the US (directly) into the war. Naval fighting over Indonesia and Pacific Islands
  • 2026: people finally start calling it WW3
  • 2027-??: hard to say

The US is so divided right now it seems like the other major players won't mind treating the remnants like bread amongst themselves.
