There should be mentions of the US intention to betray NATO

It's not a matter of whether or not China and Russia are potential instigators, there have been several naked threats to the rest of the NATO alliance of annexation and war. This is encyclopedia worthy even if it amounts to nothing. American expansionism under Donald Trump — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2025-33944-78 (talk) 09:23, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

You can provide sources for this that mention this as a potential cause for WW3 per WP:V. Mellk (talk) 09:43, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

The Greenland crisis is worth mentioning — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-44359-2 (talk) 03:27, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

This aged well... not! Another bunch of useful idiots caught up in the day-to-day news hype cycle and unable to see the big picture. ~2026-11454-03 (talk) 16:11, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Someone please tell me... Darrrrmilk (talk) 01:32, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Has it happened? Neoogai (talk) 03:03, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

idk Darrrrmilk (talk) 03:16, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

The doomsday clock isn’t at 1 so it didn’t happen 🤑 Neoogai (talk) 03:23, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

But I dont think fake stuff are allowed on wikipedia Darrrrmilk (talk) 03:25, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

It's not "fake". Listing of wars and tensions that could be seen as warming up to WWIII is useful. I'm very tired right now and struggling to talk, but even though WWIII hasn't "officially" happened, this article still serves a purpose for a lot of reasons. – EX Aero (What have I done??) 03:47, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Hypothetical conflicts and stuff are included on Wikipedia, for example The Guns of the South Neoogai (talk) 03:53, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

yes! with all of the wars going on right now, i believe that we are in ww3! MagnumBurst (talk) 22:00, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

I believe if thermonuclear bombs are dropped, that means ww3. Neoogai (talk) 23:43, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

MagnumBurst, Neoogai - We care what reliable sources say, not what editors believe. HiLo48 (talk) 23:51, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

You said what you believe though. I somewhat agree with you because these conflicts might lead up to one large conflict Neoogai (talk) 01:46, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

I DID NOT say what I believe. I said what I KNOW! We care what reliable sources say, not what editors believe. HiLo48 (talk) 02:13, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Should this article say that ww3 already is happening because of all of the wars in the middle east and europe and Asia?

What I am trying to say is that the Ukrainian Vs. Russia war, the Israel and USA Vs. Iran and others, wouldn't that make sense? MagnumBurst (talk) 21:59, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, Due to the amount of wars I belive this article should actually be real HumbleApple Basketballer7309 (talk). 01:32, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

No. We depend on what relaible sources say, not your personal opinion. HiLo48 (talk) 02:57, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
