I will say that it is a lot harder to start a WWIII than people think.
I agree.
The notion of military honor would have to be destroyed and I cannot see that happening.
To kill it, one would have to kill the love of family, women and children that lives in the hearts of all of us.
That is why M A D has killed the possibility of a pre-emptive nuclear strike. The ones who turn the keys know that if they turn them, they condemn all they love to death or kill the respect they have from their loved ones.
Only revenge against those who kill their loved ones with a first strike would harden the hearts of any honorable military man who has the key enough to make him use it.

That and also there have been many close calls in the past 70 years, but that's all they have been. Close calls.
I remember when Turkey (aka a NATO member) shot down a Russian fighter jet over Syria and both nations exchanged harsh words and called it a "stab in the back". Yet the world continued to turn.
If a WWIII ever happens, then it will happen, but (unpopular opinion) I do not fear a Third world war starting anytime soon. It CAN happen, but I do not expect it to happen.
