What say you?
The Ukraine war's outcome is the likely tipping point to WW3 or an increasing number of regional conflicts. Based on the U.S. and the international community's lousy response to Russia invading Ukraine, China and North Korea are taking notes.
Middle East conflicts are more numerous and frequent than conventional wars involving China. But if China pulls the trigger on invading Taiwan or another one of their territorial disputes, strap in for rough waters. That war's level of destruction and casualties is potentially greater than WW2 produced.
Alternatively, Russian industrial output rises sufficiently to support Putin's ambitions for further military expansion.
Also, consider what occurs if or when China and Russia make those moves in a similar timeframe. Moreover, North Korea and Iran are also in the mix.
