Under construction - the original post escaped online before I could finalize it.
Since the world has changed quite a bit in the past few years, I was thinking about a new timeline, but I would see it a joint effort with the members of this board.
There are several potential things leading to a global war. One is the speculated relationship between the U.S. president and the Russians that, in a possible scenario, will lead to his impeachment and, as a televangelist put it, an armed strife in the United States of America between Russian trained anti-Federalist cahoots and people supporting the Federal Government.
The Russians making a move on Swedish island of Gotland and the Finnish Autonomic Region of Åland, both which are vital for keeping the Baltic States defended as they are the key to keeping the Baltic Sea open for traffic, would probably spawn a conflict there. In the Baltic countries, a number of young male berry pickers with short hair and no bounty in their buckets have been seen around the military exercise areas as well as a number of unidentified drones with cameras. Also, the Russian outlets have multiple times "expressed concerns" on the treatment of "native Russians" in the Baltic countries. Nato troops in the region have some capability to stop an initial attack, but a full scale assault is going to be a rather difficult to stop without reinforcements from Europe. There is also the Kaliningrad enclave of Russia, which, combined with Russian troops on Gotland and Åland would make Baltic Sea unusable for anyone but the Russians.
If the U.S. were out of the way for the most part, North Korea might make a move on the south and China most likely would seek to expand its dominion on the Pacific. I would also consider the fact, Turkey has been steadily heading towards Russia under Erdogan's new regime and might actually break away from Nato that has kept it from outright attacking the Aegean islands belonging to Greece as well as escalating the situation on Cyprus.
