I somehow doubt it. There's been scuffles throughout the ages in various parts of the World all underscored by outside powers supplying arms, ammunition, machinery & in some cases men. It's a form of live proving of weaponry & tactics before issue to their own armed forces or export to others.

Most of the 20th century has been a case in point, S.E. Asia is a prime example, French, American, Vietnamese, (supported by US, Chinese & Russian military tech) although idealogical reasons were the starting point, it became a war of the manufacturers in later years as to whose technology could kill more effectively.

Korea, which never really finished & is still ongoing sans bullets & bombs. Iran & Iraq happily killing each other in the 80's while being supplied & supported by middle eastern allies & the West, who later found themselves in the 90's & 2000's fighting against the very forces they'd equipped & trained. Russians in Afghanistan in the 80's taking a hiding from the Mujahadin (bankrolled, trained & armed by the US). who then went on to fight against the very same Americans who'd kitted them out. Nuclear stand off between India & Pakistan with skirmishes regularly happening in the mountain border regions where terrorist cells of Al Qaida train to fight those opposed to their views & extremist ideals, need I go on?

The above are just a few that come readily to mind, but there's so much more going on around the World, mainly fuelled by religious/racial hatred but all knowingly or not propagated by well meaning/cynical third parties. So in answer to your question, a third World war? No, but an increase of "local" warring & violent civil wars are ever more inevitable.

World Wars don't come into it these days, its more about various economy's needing a boost, in other words money fer arms, opposing ideology's arming opposite sides, everybodys making, everybodys happy, thats life.

Sometimes it's hard to believe that we all belong to the same species and live on the same planet. :(:(:(

Sheer and utter propaganda possibly introduced to increase racial tensions.
There are two factors that prove the above to be a fiction.

1/ No parking ticket has ever been issued on Blackburn rd since the late 80's.

2/ Traffic Wardens don't seem to work Saturdays anymore.
