There's a distinction between "total war" and war by proxy. The first entails seeking total and direct destruction of the enemy, until it surrenders control of its government. That is what i think of by the phrase 'world war,' along with involvement of the world's military powers. This would just lead to wiping out both populations, the "mutually assured destruction" that was so feared during the cold war. It would resemble only the end of the 2nd war. There will never be another conflict like that of 100 years ago, the massive stupidity of millions of soldiers futilely battling in trench warfare for years.
