At any given time in history, there are numerous wars and conflicts going on. Currently there are 40+/- conflicts in the world. The only time the WORLD WAR status is attibuted to a war is when the superpowers square off on opposite sides in open declarations of war. We are far from that scenario, altho i agree the spark is there to ignite a larger conflagaration. But for now, just think regional conflicts, proxy wars, brinksmanship and disagreements between rump states.
When the US, Russia and/or China square, then come back and we'll talk WW III. The history books haven't declared the Cold War as WWIII or the current war on terror as WWIV. You'll know when WWIII hits, that burst of EMP will be your first warning....
The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not. In the first 30 minutes, nearly a billion people will have been vaporised, mostly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. Another 1.5 billion will die shortly thereafter from radiation poisoning. The northern hemisphere will be plunged into prolonged agony and barbarity.
Eventually the nuclear winter will spread to the southern hemisphere and all plant life will die. You ask if WWIII is already in progress, you are asking are we commiting global suicide. My answer is no, it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east. The outcome of the conflict in the middle east will not be global suicide, just relegated to heap of wars between rump states.
Our biggest risk is an accidental launch of nukes by one of the superpower powers...then we can use the term WORLD WAR.

well, I'm not sure, but I think I will say yes.The U.S. currently has troops deployed all around the world (not that that is unnatural for them), there is a multitude of small wars going on in the Middle East, which seem to be being rolled up into the general category of 'war on terror,' and if you read articles from North Korea, it almost seems as if they are asking us to go to war with them.
More countries in Asia and the Middle East are obtaining Nuclear Power without signing the treaty, half the world is mad at the U.S. and the other half is their allies, and all the time the leading world powers continue to develop more advanced weapons.

"The world has a cancer, and that cancer is Illuminati."
and the head chief of this cancer is none other than the criminal master mind George W Bush.
"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said, referring to Bush, who addressed the world body during its annual meeting Tuesday. "And it smells of sulfur still today."Chavez accused Bush of having spoken "as if he owned the world" and said a psychiatrist could be called to analyze the statement.

I'm sure people said these same things when we were in the Vietnam war as well.

I think the pieces are moving into place... I don't believe it is in progress right now, though.
