    I don’t know how anyone can see what’s happening in the world and say that we are not at the beginning of WW3.

      For a world war, you need mayor powers involved. Most people see all of this as just business as usual in the middle east.

        But it’s not just this and major powers are involved. It’s just not direct.

        We can say that this is not the new method of warfare. Fighting by proxy.

          Essentially every war since WW2 has been a proxy war. That’s was kind the whole idea behind the Cold War. It ain’t new. Those didn’t escalate and this is unlikely to. All the powers involved know the stakes.
