World war is between MAJOR powers.
USA
Russia
China
UK-France
The rest are regional players aand the current crop of trouble makers are just that.
If we are fighting the members of the UN security council, THAT would be World War.

The next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. That will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships.
That will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 Now after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible.
Europe will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. After things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place.
The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. During these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers.
When all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.
I think the Axis is going to be Costa Rica, Liechtenstein, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Turkmenistan, and Laos. It's always the quiet ones you have to be worried about.
Besides, the Swiss really need to put their Army Knives to good use. You're all going to be screwed when the Swiss break out their... err... corkscrews.
There's a quote from "A Hunt for Red October" that states the next major war will be one with no monuments. Russia and the US still have enough nukes to wipe everyone out several times over.
Plus the idea of a Nuclear Winter scares me more than the intial strike. I'd prefer to be vaporized in the first exchange.

I think Israel might have just started it.
Actually in years to come, historians may gauge the Gulf Wars as the start of it. Who knows. Today's heroes, tomorrow's villains .. and vice versa. In any war, there are no good guys really. And no winners. And no victories. Just a bunch of funerals and some silly scraps of metal and ribbon we call "medals".
