If any leader of the US+EU or Russia+China were to even outloud say "World War III is coming" to the public, there would be riots and Civil Wars, there would be military groups lead by colonels going to their capitals to kill politicians of their own countries. World War III will never get by, the people still have more power than the government.

The war in Ukraine is almost over, and if Ukraine joins a union with Russia, Russia won't benefit from it at all. The only benefit they'll get would be from getting Crimea, the rest of what they would get  of Ukraine is a wartorn wasteland. It's like getting a broken present on Christmas. (Before anyone criticises me on this one, I'm not saying Ukraine is a wasteland, it's beautiful, but what I menat was it's wartorn and destroyed in many areas, no benefits will Russia get)

Despite the fact that relations with NATO+Allies and Russia getting worse, NATO+Allies relations with China are, believe it or not, still improving. The "Made in China" era of dangerous childrens toys, poisoned dog food, and poisoned apple juice is now over, and Americans are considering sending exports to China now, this could boost the relations of the US and China further.

Now, a Cold War II I do believe is very probable. I don't think it will happen while Barack Obama is still in office, so not in 2015 or 2016. However, it is probable that the next US president could formally start a new Cold War in 2017 or 2018, the Ukraine crisis would've already caused a formal Cold War II if John McCain or Mitt Romney were US president by now. However, a Cold War wouldn't be that bad, as long as we can all stay home and don't have to worry too much about our homes getting blown up and our loved ones dying.

One thing I definitely wonder is how the dismantling relations between Russia and the US would affect tourism. I've always wanted to visit the Ural Mountains of Russia, but don't know if I'll be able to with the relations between Russia and the US going down the way they are.
