I’m not sure how many major-theater/major-world-power wars need to be going on at once before we’ll actually call this what it is: a world war.

I know it’s a big scary thing to call it a "world war" but I feel that we need to take responsibilty for all of this death and destruction before every continent is engulfed in combat.

Merriam-Webster.com defines a "world war" as: "a war engaged in by all or most of the principal nations of the world,"

That’s pretty much what we’ve got going on here. So why not just call a spade a spade?

OH YEAH. Because then we’d have to take responsibilty for it.

Yick! Responsibility!
