Ronaldo and Messi should be on the same team.

Earth vs the Moon, Mars and maybe an atmospheric Venus base, triggered over exploitation of lunar resources by multi-planetary corporations, with insufficient compensation, lack of political representation and poor living conditions resulting in an interplanetary terrorist attack that triggers an overwhelming backlash.
I'll take a potshot and predict it in the 23rd century.

BATTLE ROYALE

4China invading Taiwan is gonna be the start of it. It'll be NATO against a Chinese-Russian-NK alliance.
4Will. Iran be part of it? I guess yes and Israel on the other side.
4More like Russia annexing Crimea will be the start of it.
Or rather, will be described as the start of it by future historians.
3Possible for sure.

Just a hunch, but it seems to me that in an event to be called WW3 there would be a lot of infighting. There just appears to be a lot more civil unrest in recent decades, and I just have a feeling it would be a war much more fragmented than the ones before it.

1A brief history of WW3:
- 2014: Russia annexes a small piece of Ukraine
- 2022: Russia invades Ukraine, leading to ongoing fighting
- 2023: Hamas attacks Israel, leading to ongoing Israeli attacks on Hamas in Gaza
- 2024: Iran attacks Israel, Israel attacks Iran, China attacks Taiwan. US supports Taiwan with munitions, similar to Ukraine
- 2025: China shoots down a US Satellite, bringing the US (directly) into the war. Naval fighting over Indonesia and Pacific Islands
- 2026: people finally start calling it WW3
- 2027-??: hard to say
1I don't think China blowing up a satellite would be enough casus belli to bring the US into a war. No loss of life would occur.
Going back to World War 2 as an example, where the US similarly provided munitions aid to Britain via lend-lease, Germany sank several US aid ships, killing their American crews, and that wasn't enough to bring the US into the war in full until the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
It would need to be some sort of event that brings conflict to the US, like Pearl Harbor or 9/11. Americans are too war-averse otherwise to support direct involvement in conflict, preferring proxy wars when they see the need for intervention.

The US is so divided right now it seems like the other major players won't mind treating the remnants like bread amongst themselves.
