DaKardii, what (if any) WMD will be used by whom against whom in this war?
As Navigator said in his book, the first phase of the war will be mostly conventional. Nukes will be used, but it won't be something out of a Cold War-era Doomsday fantasy.

The third phase of the war is a different story. The dictators in charge of whichever countries go authoritarian will be far more ruthless than Putin and Xi, and perhaps even more ruthless than Hitler and Stalin. They won't be showing restraint with any WMD they may have, much less nukes.

Your analysis is very interesting, but I would question the timeline.

I believe that you suggested a 30 year time frame by analogy with
World Wars I and II. But there are significant differences between
the world then and now.

World War I was mainly a Russian, east European and Middle East war.

World War II was mainly a west European, American, and Asian war.

So those were really two completely different wars, and it makes sense
that they were 20+ years apart.

But today, Russia, east Europe, west Europe, America, China, Japan,
India, and many other countries are in a generational Crisis era.
(The Middle East and Africa are exceptions.)

That situation is completely different, and requires a re-analysis of
your timeline.

To further clarify the above post, I believe we won't be seeing global war until the second half of this decade. I previously thought that it would begin in the first half, but now I'm not so sure.

As to Presidential elections, I used to think 2020 was our last chance, but now I'm becoming increasingly convinced it's actually 2024.
Thanks for the post. Previously I also had suggested as much, and always had put a much higher probability on stalemates happening this decade as opposed to more immediate war (which I pressed John on since that's mostly his view). It also depends on what you call "war" in many senses. If China takes Taiwan but we do little to nothing about that, is that, in combination with NATO provocations of Russia continuing, continuation of a "world war"? I don't know the answer.

More importantly, what do you see happening in the 2025-30 period upcoming, DaK? Given that the period after is what you call a frozen period or stalemate/cold war, I'm interesting in the nearer term anyway, because of its proximity and better chance at guessing what shakes out.

I assume, by the way, that nations like India and Saudi Arabia not paying mind to the USA any longer is the precursor or recent foundation to your post.

Navigator, how long do you think the interbellum period will be in between the two wars?

More and more I think that we will have three periods, each of which last 42 months (3.5 years each), which would be WW3, the interwar period, and then the final war WW4.

Those numbers are inspired by the Book of Revelation, yes?

My current opinion is my PERSONAL interpretation of what the numbers in Revelation and other Biblical/Theological sources mean to me. Many within my own religious circle would disagree with me, but to me, PERSONALLY, it makes the most sense.

I do not see things being dragged out much longer.

What's your range for the start of WW3? Within 3-5 years? Or 5-10 years?

I would say within no more than 1.5 years. I think this October may be more like it, and am preparing for that.

I think the economy will go south very soon, and war will follow shortly thereafter. The Chinese will want to move before the Biden presidency is over, even better for them if the Democrats control congress.
