This whole "WWIII" crap that's being assumed is just that -- crap. It's something some churches teach as if it is gospel. It's not.
My husband is 69 years old and will turn 70 in a couple of months. When HE was a young man, he helped his then-BIL (who happened to be my seventh grade science teacher that same year, which I always get a kick out of) clear out his mother's house when she died. The BIL's mother was a Christian who went to one of those kinds of churches -- the kind that wrings their hands over the future by what's happening on that day. And she had a the equivalent of three huge trunk fulls of tracts that tell the story of the world's demise based on the current politics of that day. WWII was Armageddon. After WWII, Stalin was the antichrist. After him, JFK was the antichrist. When she died, her last tracts said the pope was the antichrist.
She died, a couple of years before I became a Christian. When I became a Christian, OPEC and/or the USSR were the ones who would cause Armageddon. (I bet half of you don't know how OPEC could have anything to do with the world ending now. lol) When Carter was in office, Christians were buying houses at 18% interest rates, not because they could afford them, but because the end was coming in the next couple of years, so they get a cushy place to live before all hell breaks loose.
I stopped listening to that crap early on, because it stopped me from focusing on who is in control, and allowed me to think I'm in control through my own inner-panic. It's also just that -- crap!
How about a new generation focus on God instead of "End times"?
