I think the Chinese will hold off until after the Winter Olympics. Xi will talk to Putin and they will stage their attacks simultaneously. Rocket Man in North Korea will go back to testing nuclear bombs and missiles. Iran will nuke Israel and Israel will return the favor.I read a really smart 'take' on all this a couple of days ago.... (paraphrase below)
#1. Russia and China view America as the weakest it has ever been and this is the time for them to make their moves. They think it likely to be a much stronger President, Govt and Military starting in 2024. Right now is their window!
#2. It is only 530 miles from the Kremlin to Ukraine. That is a very uneasy narrowness to Russians, considering that Ukraine is seeking NATO membership. To solve the problem, Russia can easily take and absorb Ukraine, just as they did Crimea.
#3. A very large percentage of Ukrainians felt they had a better life under the USSR and believe they would have a substantially better life being a part of Russia. They welcome Russia.
#4. The Ukraine Govt and power-players are some of the most corrupt on the planet. Another reason the people of Ukraine welcome Russia.
#5. China will be very, very strategic and their timing will be perfect. They will use the world's chaotic spin regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, to immediately launch their take-over of Taiwan. America will not only do nothing for Ukraine, but a second front in the south China sea will further castrate the Pentagon from doing anything. OBiden will do the Dementia Shuffle to a mic and say.... "You bad, bad people need to stop it." And that will be the end of that.
This is all conjecture and guesses.... but it sure could go down this way.
So no.... I don't believe current events with Taiwan and Ukraine will start WW#3. Heck, it is more likely that crap in the middle east will start WW#3. If Israel, outright, attacks Iran..... That could be the snowball that starts the avalanche.
.........
2023 will be one hell of a year.
