"Human history has been full of battles and wars, some big and some small. But if World War 3 were to happen, it might be humanity's biggest battle yet.

Advanced technology, massive troops, and more intensive strategy would all be involved. Why would something like this happen?

What countries would join in? And how would this war be fought?…"

With a loss of a medical support system, my time on earth becomes very limited.
The USA would be isolated with secondary actions to keep the Americans off balanced.
The population masses close to potential adversaries makes them a priority. So Russia, China and India would be an old west showdown. Much of Africa, Mideast and South America become a mess of warlord states.
Can Europe keep its act together will be a key question.

Who says WW3 is going to be a massive blow out? I think we've been involved in a major, world-encompassing conflict for at least the past decade. Cyber attacks (some funded by government entities), economic manipulation, low intensity military actions and general political shenanigans could all be classified as WW3. Or not.

Sorry, you must have a negative Covid test for all troops prior to invasion.

I have a feeling that the COVID-19 pandemic is a big part of the Third World War. But the main beneficiaries of this situation have not yet become clear. And it is quite possible that these are supranational structures. Another five years of such a pandemic – and we will live in a post-apocaleptic society)))

Just in case, stock up on 3 months' worth of food (and hide it like a bootlegger… ;-)

Hmm, if it went nuclear, then I would be dead on the 1st day, living close to the AWE, at least it would be quick, but all those minis left unpainted grin

So I can take the mask off finally?

Given the myriad challenges currently facing the world and my country (the US), I see no point in discussing "what if"
horrors.

I have enough lead to insulate against nuclear fall out… I just need to survive the initial strike…
