More than 100 experts in international relations believe that World War III It is inevitable and will probably start in the next decade.

A new study with the participation of 357 researchers examined the future of mankind, with four out of ten declaring that a great war including forces such as USAChina or Russia will begin in 2035.

In 2035, four out of ten world researchers (40.5%) predicted that a world war will break out that would include large countries such as the United States, China or Russia. The majority of those who believe the third world war is coming have said that it would probably include nuclear weapons and battles in space.

The most notable example that leads participants to predict this is the creation of US Space Power in 2019 by the president Donald Trump.

The new military service states on its website that, ‘Space power responds, evolves and provides operational capabilities from space and in space that allow the US and their allies to prevent and, if necessary, to defeat any possible threat to US space capabilities“

The second biggest threat to the world in 2035 will be the climate changeaccording to 30% of experts.

Just the 1.7% of respondents They said this new pandemic will be the most alarming crisis that will affect the global population, and only 5.1% believe that growing public debt will paralyze the world in 2035. The new survey was conducted by the Atlantic Council, a Think Tank for International Relations.

The team has analyzed current developments, predicting how laws, regulations and military moves may predict the world of 2035.

Trump told President Zelenski on Friday that he was “playing with the Third World War”, continuing the war with Russia.

At the same time, political analysts predicted that the war would not have a good end for the Ukrainians, US economic and diplomatic sovereignty will be reduced and world democracies will continue to retreat, falling into a “democratic depression”.

“The most pessimistic forecasts agree with a dark global perspective, with 62% of respondents expecting the world in ten years will be worse than they are today, while only 38% predict that they will be better“, Said the team of Atlantic Council.

Although research has concluded that a world nuclear war is worried about many researchers, most experts still believe that the climate emergency of the world is the most burning issue.

29.9% of respondents ranked climate change as the greatest threat to the world’s well -being between 2025 and 2035, with climate change exceeding the war between major world powers (27.6%).

At the moment, the overwhelming majority of studies agree that people are the cause of global warming. Supporters of the existence of severe concern about the effects of climate change accuse the changing weather conditions for recent disasters, including the strongest hurricanes in the Atlantic and the devastating fires in California.

While the expert team did not make specific provisions on how climate change will destroy the planet, the majority (51%) believe that there will be more global cooperation to stop the crisis by 2035.

As people are walking towards the future, there is increasing concern that robots will replace people in most jobs.

Interestingly, the rise of advanced artificial intelligence was considered positive by most experts, without fear of increasing redundancies due to automation.

“Not all predictions were pessimistic. 58% of Global Foresight 2025 survey, for example, thought that artificial intelligence will have a positive effect on world affairs in the next ten years“, Said the Atlantic Council.

Although artificial intelligence will not replace all people in most American businesses, experts are still concerned about the decline of the US in terms of economic power and technological innovation.

Compared to the 2024 survey of the Atlantic Council, fewer respondents were convinced that the US would remain the world’s dominant economic power by 2035 – a decrease from 52% to 49%. The 357 International Relations experts have also warned of new global alliances in the next 10 years that may threaten the US and NATO.

Almost half of the respondents (47.4%) believe that China will lead a new alliance that will officially link it to Russia, Iran and North Korea.

China, Russia and Iran are already members of the intergovernmental organization known as BRICS, consisting of 10 countries.

Analysts are afraid that this BRICS Alliance could soon compete with the Seven (G7) team, which consists of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the US.

As for the big players in this new alliance, the survey shows that almost 65% are convinced or has a strong belief that China will try to occupy Taiwan. This figure increased by 15% compared to last year’s survey.

Meanwhile, 45% of experts predict that Russia will be involved in an armed war with NATO in the next decade.

“Among respondents awaiting another world war over the next decade, 69% expect an immediate conflict between Russia and NATO“, Revealed the think tank.

In 2025, there are nine countries that have access to nuclear weapons, according to the Association of Scientists.

This list includes the United States, Russia, France, China, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel and North Korea.

In the Middle East, the new research outlines a complicated picture of Israel and its current clashes in the region.

The majority of experts (62.5%) predict that the situation with the Palestinians will remain the next 10 years itself – with Israel still holding Palestinian territories.

However, more than half of the respondents (56%) believe that Israel will have smooth diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia by 2035.

Only 17% believe that people will see a sovereign, independent Palestinian state in the next decade, and less than 10% believe that Israel will achieve friendly relations with Iran until then.
