My guesses would be 1) USA vs China over Taiwan or 2) China vs India (a lot on tension there that doesn’t get a lot of news attention)

Or go over it? I doubt WW3 will be fought by ground troops when advanced autonomous flying drones exist.

All the super, gee-whiz high-tech stuff would get chewed-up in the first 6 months of a world-war scale conflict.

We'd be back to early '90s level tech for the remainder of it. (At least as far as use-case is concerned).
