Of course this will be a global war. Any war happened on the earth will
influence one another, not only from the political perspective, but also a broad

economical etc. Especially this is a global era, no one can really set
themselves outside the world. To see any war as regional or local is wrong and
narrow-minded, particularly this mistake happened on a sociologist!
