So when can we call it "World War 3"?

Ukraine has of course lost the Crimea to Russia and is nearing collapse due to it's civil war. US, UK, French and a host of NATO forces have been actively at war for over a decade and Israel is bombing inside virtually all it's neighbor's boundaries with impunity. Isis is raging across the Middle East committing daily atrocities with the honest belief that we're in the end of days and even North and South Korea were shooting at each other just a couple weeks ago. Things keep "randomly" blowing up in China quite spectacularly and sustained cyberwar attacks continue 24/7 with a vast majority of attacks originating from China ( Norse Attack Map ) Meanwhile currency manipulation and stock market crashes are called "acts of war" and bring carnage to the global economy.

No, it's not your granddaddy's World War but how can anyone say the world isn't at war!? Do we need more than the 2 dozen countries actively fighting the current (mostly) interconnected wars right now? Do we need more than just the several hundred thousand people killed during the past decade or so from the fighting, a bigger displacement of refugees than the tsunami of people pouring into Europe to escape the carnage of their homelands? Does there have to be a war bonds campaign or Bob Hope performing in an army uniform for it to count as a "World War"? Is it not "WW3" until after the nukes are launched? (BTW... they *might* have already started with those too: Possible Tactical Nuclear Strike (Neutron Bomb) in Yemen? | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization)


I would guess the average American thought "so what" when Hitler invaded Poland and considered the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and massive military buildup to be "none of (our) business". But we've gotta wake up... WW3 has already started without any official announcement and we're too busy looking at Miley's boobs, hating people who aren't the same color as us or watching Trump act like a chimp in a bid to be the king of fools to notice!

You can call it WW3 because by definition it is but don't expect the government, military and media to say it since they want to keep the people in the dark.
