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.

Well Syria just promiced to get involved... Russia just warned Isreal to mind the international rules.. the US is in Iraq and Afganistan fighting a false war under a LIE. China is about to go in to a recession after Oil spikes up and 1/2 there stuff is returned to there country. 51% of people who took a Zogby poll say that bush and cheney should be inpeached. Oil is running out and the scramble is on to get it because whoever has the most in the end... rules the world.
Research other world wars... WW2 actually started in 1933 ww1 much sooner then 1914 there is a gradual process that spreads moderately until all countries have been effected. I personally believe WW3 Started in 2002 when we invaded IRAQ Under WMD's . Now the US is getting NUKES ready to deploy , that B-52 mishap wasnt a mishap lol someone was ordered to put NUKES on a plane and it freeked out someone so much they ran there mouth. The US is going to NUKE IRAN and all this will KIck off if and when Bush / Cheney get in to Impeachment trouble (Wag the Dog) and WW3 will commence that week. I give it MAX 7 or 8 more months.

WW3 will start any day, and any wars with other foreign countries that are going on right now could count as a pre-WW3.
