Been hearing about this WWIII from a conspiracy theorist angle, the one from Albert Pike and I was initially quite intrigue a few years back but now it doesn't sound right because the current WWIII is not a conflict between Islam and the West. It is actually a world conflict from various state actor backgrounds. Russia's leader Putin is an avid Orthodox Christian. The ally Iran is an avid Shia Islam. While China on the other hand is god-less state, a communist based from Mao Zedung doctrine.

The global community isn't declaring WWIII officially and this is actually a good idea so as not to start panic among the populace but yes we are already in WWIII and this started from the invasion of Ukraine and followed by Iran's war against Israel via proxies and the looming pacific conflict that will happen once China moves to take back Taiwan.

These three strong main allies have orchestrated their state's action towards their goals in a synchronized manner. It was planned and these actions are directed against the West.

I'd say WWIII has already started unofficially and the battle field is multidimensional, it is a hybrid warfare.
