Is WW3 / full global scale conflict already in motion?

The age of world wars is over. There would be zero benefit for any country evolved. It's one of the many advantages of globalization. World trade between all nations makes sure that no one has to gain anything from great wars. Normally no country starts a war if it is clear that they are gonna lose big time.

Someone with some common sense, nice. 

This actual a big advantage of the world today, the global nature of it. The only two countries with really the resources to start and sustain a world war are US and China, and both their economies are linked, too many people (specifically rich people) would have too much to lose. 

It won't happen the way it did in the 1910s/20s/30s, you need to have economically delinked countries and rapid nationalism and primitive technology for that to happen again. 

Even the internet today links the world together in a way where such a conflict would be broadcast 24/7 and people would rapidly get fed up with all the violence and insist on things going back to "normal".
