Commentators warn the world may be drifting toward a third world war
Original: Are we sleepwalking into World War III?
A Financial Times column asks whether the world is sleepwalking into World War III, arguing that current conflicts and great-power tensions are escalating without anyone deliberately choosing war. Readers are debating the comparison to 1914, weighing whether crises in Europe, the Middle East and Asia could combine into a wider confrontation, and how far miscalculation rather than intent drives such drift.
Why now: Ongoing wars and rising great-power tensions are fuelling anxiety that conflicts could escalate into a global confrontation.
