Not going to occur.
People in power do not want to die or rule over a graveyard and we all know World War III will lead to that
Some people in power too dumb for thisÂ
Just listen a lot of US officials, they publicly called to attack & nuke Russia.
1. As you see, they not cares about consequences of nuclear war (they are too dumb).
Just few days ago Biden said that US need to fight against both China and Russia.
// China now rapidly produce nukes, very soon it will be equal to Russia and USA). WTF?!Â
2. They even not understand how backward US nowadays.
Need a short brief of history: back in 2002 US withdrew from the missile limitation treaty. This treaty back in 1970s stopped arm race, because it denied for US and USSR to have anti-missiles. Basic logic: if both countries have no defence, it means nobody will attack because both will die 100%. Also it stopped production of new nukes, because without defence even small amount is more than enough.
But US in 2002 decide to
erase gain advantage over Russia and put own missiles/anti-missiles around it (Poland, Romania, etc). Russia in response all own resources decide to spend on new weapons, in result got new generations of ICBMs, SLBM, first in world hypersonic weapons (including strategic), nuclear powered intercontinental cruise missile and torpedo (new kind of weapons).
While US all this time did nothing, they not developed new weapons and still use ancient.
Moreover, Russia developed hypersonic anti-missiles and created this, specially against US ICBM/SLBM:
Missile reach altitude of ISS in less than 1 minute, incredible speed.
So, now imagine potential conflict: US have only ancient missiles (easy targets), while Russia have whole bunch of new weapons, against some of which US have nothing at all. In such nuclear war Russia have all chances to survive, while US have no at all. And US anyway provoking Russia in situation when for Russia such nuclear war de facto cost nothing and safe. Why? Because they are dumb!
3. In violation of promises 30 year ago, US/NATO moved to East and already put own military infrastructure on former Russian lands, territories populated by Russians. For a lot of years Russia asked NATO to stop, they ignored, in result 15 Dec 2021, Russia proclaimed ultimatum to NATO: NATO must return back to own borders. Gave 1 month to think. 15 Jan 2022 US rejected, in Feb 2022 we got war in Ukraine...
What next? As next step Russia will be forced to return own forces back to Europe, Berlin. This is best scenario. In worst - to erase all this military infrastructure in Europe. So, can you predict reaction of US when it will happen?
4. Ukraine itself right now. At any moment Russia can launch missiles against any country which send weapons to it (moreover, according to UN they are legit targets and Russia have right). Why not?
All this countries in NATO... US reaction? This can happens at any moment.

So, yep, nuclear war is very possible.
