– The definition of a World War, via Britannica, is simply ‘a war involving many nations of the world’
Many eyes are on the Middle East right now, but the Russia/Ukraine war is the one most likely to be the war that is going to get America nuked, in the long run.
While we continue to see headlines predicting a world war is on the horizon, I stand by my assertion that World War III already began and is ongoing. Nether NATO nor the United Nations existed before 1945. The League of Nations became the United Nations, but when created, the Soviet Union was one of the four world powers, along with the UK, The U.S. and China, that was supposed to control the UN, until the Soviet Union vetoed certain cold war issues.

The reason for that very brief history reminder is to show that all indicators of involvement in a war that had it later categorized as a World War, such as boots on the ground and actively fighting, have been expanded in large part due to technology, rapid transportation (such as weapons and ammunitions), and the ability on the part of the U.S. to browbeat and threaten other nations to abide by sanctions.
A little bit about sanctions, which historically has been an America tool. First and foremost, sanctions via blockades were previously tried in WWI and WWII, largely unsuccessful, until roughly 1950.
From 1950 to 2019, the US turned to sanctions far more often than other countries, according to a Quartz analysis of historic sanctions using the Global Sanctions Database.
The lackluster success rate for sanctions over this period has not deterred the US. Indeed, its willingness to throw its economic weight around to change other countries’ behavior has remained a constant since the 1950s.
The definition of a World War, via Britannica, is simply “a war involving many nations of the world.”
Now sanctions include:
• Economic sanctions: Trade barriers, freezing assets, taking assets from one country to give to another, tariffs, naval blockades, etc….
• Diplomatic sanctions, the reduction or removal of diplomatic ties, such as embassies. These also include limiting or cancelling high-level govt visits or expelling or withdrawing diplomatic missions or staff.
• Military sanctions: those include military strikes to arms embargos.
• Individual sanctions: These are sanctions against individual members of a nation, such as politicians or economic bigwigs.
The point is, taking action against a nation that harms their nation or their citizens, in and of itself, is an act of war.
