Talk:World War III

No Hamas invasion?
A lot of people on Twitter are describing this current war will escalate into WW3. There should be at least some mention about it. Trakaplex (talk) 05:52, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * In general, Twitter is not a reliable source. Got anything better? HiLo48 (talk) 05:54, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * What about this? https://www.politico.com/newsletters/national-security-daily/2024/02/12/the-world-war-iii-election-00140938 2603:7000:6500:97B:1115:7958:422C:FE28 (talk) 17:07, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The source doesn't explicitly connect the Israeli-Hamas war with WW3. It only implicitly connects the wider Middle East conflict with a "massive fight that leads to tens of thousands of deaths and upends the global economy", which is not even near the scale of WW1 and WW2.

 * how about these sources (from various viewpoints):

 * Quote from source claims the opposit: "while it certainly has all the makings of the first major Middle Eastern modern regional war, it doesn’t yet have enough combustible power to ignite a world war". Gollem (talk) 07:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * One columnist's opinion. Unclear importance due to paywall. Gollem (talk) 07:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No mention of WW3. Gollem (talk) 07:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Link doesn't seem to lead to an article with that title. Gollem (talk) 07:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * World on brink as Putin's next three countries to invade revealed by Russian general 2601:84:8080:98E0:29F5:206E:A938:E219 (talk) 19:01, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That source, the Daily Express, is a sensationalist, tabloid outlet. It clearly displays the attributes of such a label by never having more than one sentence in a paragraph. HiLo48 (talk) 23:59, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Twitter claims all events will lead to ww3. Biden could trip over a rock in china and people would say the US should go to war. I know this is a bigger example but more sources are needed. LuxembourgLover (talk) 18:08, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree to add the Israel-Hamas war now that the iranian embassy has been bombed.Givibidou (talk) 16:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Why? Do you see any signs of escalation beyond a regional conflict that are reported as such by relevant sources? Gollem (talk) 00:57, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The US navy has its fleet in the Mediterranean, Russia has its army in Syria. A war between Israel and Iran-Syria could bring an american intervention and a russian intervention. Givibidou (talk) 08:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The US has troops stationed in over 100 different countries. One could argue that their presence makes WWIII less likely. HiLo48 (talk) 23:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The article is unclear whether the statements about WW3 are related to what is happening Ukraine or Gaza. Also it doesn’t explain how the latter could escalate into WW3. Just the fact that Russia is present to support the Syrian regime and the USA is present in the region too, is not enough to add it in this article. Gollem (talk) 06:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It's absolutely insane that the Israel/Palestine conflict isn't mentioned here. Some of the editors here clearly have an agenda, I'm fully expecting to be banned or whatever but that needed to be said Allthegoodnamesaretakenonhere (talk) 18:51, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Allthegoodnamesaretakenonhere Some of the editors here clearly have an agenda like who and what kind of agenda? Nonspecific issues leads to no resolutions. I struggle to see how being pro-palestine, pro-israel, etc drives one be biased to adding a possibility of Hamas-Israel war leading to WW3. Unless someone can provide non-sensationalistic academic source connecting the war to WW3, no mention can be added. Ca talk to me!  12:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Why all the references to the bulletin of fearmongering scientists?
Why all of the random references and advertisements for the bulletin of atomic quacks? There's lots of random websites out there who's sole purpose is to monetize this type of content. Why do we just reference them? Go to their homepage and review the first few "stories" they have posted -- you will see grammatical errors and sourcing problems immediately. 174.179.172.150 (talk) 18:26, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
