Star Trek and WW3

At one point the 1990s Eugenics Wars were considered to be WW3, but that has been retconned.
 
Point about globalization and WW3 is that any war is basically a world war. The war/s we're in now are almost just as global as WW2. One person starts fighting and they pull all their allies in with them.

Hardly to the scale that merits "World War" specification though. Yes, Poland sends 5 guys to Iraq so it's "Global" but that's not what we're talking about here.

We're talking fully invested nations from around the globe. ;)
 
I don't think anybody in this day and age is fully invested in anything. Attention spans, all that ADHD from the 90s. I'd be surprised if we could pull ourselves away from lolcats long enough to fight a real honest to god war. Darn kids.

To save myself an extra post, massive amounts of sarcasm above.
 
No wonder the Vulcans were hesitant to help bring us into Space. Our pilots can't pilot a slow moving craft without bumping into a huge starship, our work force can't even get an order form right, our trained diplomats would rather risk being stranded in space than make peace with an alien culture, and we can't even recall when the third world war occurred that cost the lives of 600 million people. And that series painted the Vulcans as the ignorant ones who must be shamed for doubting the brilliance of the human race!
