WSJ "Worse, “China and Russia’s ‘no-limits’ partnership, formed in February 2022 just days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has only deepened and broadened to include a military and economic partnership with Iran and North Korea. . . . This new alignment of nations opposed to U.S. interests creates a real risk, if not likelihood, that conflict anywhere could become a multitheater or global war.” Should such a conflict break out, “the Commission finds that the U.S. military lacks both the capabilities and the capacity required to be confident it can deter and prevail in combat.” To summarize, World War III is becoming more likely in the near term, and the U.S. is too weak either to prevent it or, should war come, to be confident of victory. A more devastating indictment of a failed generation of national leadership could scarcely be penned." https://www.wsj.com/opinion/u-s-shrugs-as-world-war-iii-approaches-devastating-bipartisan-report-716bda71?st=XbAj2h

WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, I’d take this article with a boulder sized grain of salt. Russian military is a shadow of its former self and its blue water navy has always been a laughingstock. Majority of airframes are reaching the end of their lifespans… I could go on. Furthermore a large amount of Chinese banks have refused to transact in Rubles

Yeah, I dunno about this take. Military says we don't spend enough on military, so this means we must have WWIII. I think there may be other solutions.

Nothing I said there is saying that I’m hoping for a war, just an analysis of A. The right wing owner publisher who loves to wade into the political affairs of multiple nations. B. The current state of Russias military and the precarious trade alliance it has with China.
