Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I dont think the fights we see now look anything like what a fight between the US and China would. One of, if not the most, important asset in modern warfare is your satellites. Nobody has yet fought that can hit eachothers space based assets. With China and the US they both can. So it will turn into a space war pretty quick imo. Youll have battles on the surface too yes but above every surface battle will be a space based battle. Just like how in WW2 you saw massive air battles above ground battles. No longer is only air superiority needed but space superiority too. Satellite based missile defence systems are the best way to detect and destroy these missiles and satellite guidance systems are how they navigate. WW3s gonna be in space 100%.
I was talking about a hypothetical bomber attack, not WW3. As seen in Ukraine, there's a long way up the escalation ladder before that point is reached and we start hitting mutual destruction options like taking out satellites. Russia could absolutely take out NATO satellites that provide information for Ukraine right now, but they haven't done so and most likely won't.
