    I don’t think we can be that clinical about the strict definition of a world war when we only have two examples to work from. We could end up with half the world economy spent on war and still be calling it proxy wars all the way down.

      I mean if there’s only 2 countries being invaded: Ukraine and Taiwan and everyone is fighting through them it doesn’t feel like we here in the western world are really on the brink

      It won’t really feeeel like a world war to me until Europe or America or Australia etc are actually getting invaded, it’s just a large glorified proxy war
