Doomsday clock is now 100 seconds to midnight. It is the closest humanity has ever been to its annihilation.
Is it possible that world war 3 is going to happen between 2020 and 2025?
Iran and the US relation reached its worst position, and it was feared that WW3 is going to happen. But it did not. Why? Because Iran has no power to trigger the WW3 with the conventional weapon unless supported by Russia or China. But there was no reason for Russia and China to be part of the war. It could be suicide for Iran to start the war on its own.
Now the most serious flashpoint is the worsening relation between Pakistan-India. The worrying factor is that both countries are nuclear powers and have long-range missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads. Any miscalculation or false alarm can have serious aftermaths.
War is long overdue between India and Pakistan. They fought in 1948, 1965, 1971 and 1999.

WW3 would mean a nuclear war which we would be in no one favour. No nuclear-capable country could even think about it. It is not going to happen that soon.
However, the fear of war is helping defence research across the major defence technology suppliers.
Nuclear weapons and mass destruction would become obsolete over the next few decades and would be replaced by more controlled and contained destructive weapons.

The threat of war and being in war are two different things but both are equally essential for the countries. Whatever modern technologies we see around us today are the by-products of wars. From mobile phone to the internet and from commercial drones to blockchain technology.

We have writing on the wall. If Trump wins again, the threat would be even higher. The populist agenda is on the rise. India is now very open about her agenda and started exploiting Muslims not in Kashmir but in India as well.
The genocide and ethnic cleansing of Muslims around the world are not less than WW3.
