It could be 28 minutes from now or 280 years from now. When the superpowers square off against each other in two camps, then come back and we'll talk world war 3.
Until then, just think regional conflicts, wars between rump states, proxy wars and brinksmanship. If you recall the Yom Kippur War in 1973, a coalition of Arab States (Egypt, Syria and Jordan) were soundly defeated by the Israelis. That was a worse situation than the current conflict and it didn't raise a blip on the world war radar (not that it didn't have the potential to spark a global war).
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 when is the apacolypse, you are asking when will we commit global suicide. My answer is it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east.
Our biggest risk is an accidental launch of nukes by one of the nuclear powers.

in a way we are all ready in WW3
but my fear is when N. Korea is gonna get so desperate, that China will back them into trying to seize food and land for their people..
Iran Has allways been a oil mongrul.. I see war if we pull out of Iraq too early. For 20+ years Saddam held Iran out of the middle east.
Germany: they dont even need a army. they are the commerce center of Europe. They could shut down trade with the rest of europe and starve em. no shots fired.

Oh, I don't think it needs someone as maniacal as Hitler. Just some idiot fronting for oil interests. Or a nutcase with a nuclear briefcase.

WWIII could start if people of one particular ethnic group who inhabit many countries all over the world, but are not loyal to the countries where they, and control much of the media, suck the rest of the world into conflicts in the Middle East.
