Does anyone else here feel WWIII is inevitable?

  Well, wars historically never stopped. World wars happened when powers have global reach and means. In the 20th century they had that. In the 21st, even more so. That said, in the early 20th the old European global powers were demoted from superpowers, and US/USSR emerged in their place. But at the time the USSR leaders knew it wasn't as strong (to risk a major war with the US) and both sides had nukes, complicating the logistics. So no direct war between them (but plenty of proxy wars globally). Today there's US, China, India as wannabe big player, Russia (still not as strong, and worse off than USSR), and a few other minor players. (A single "pan-global" single-"country" or central government also wont stop wars. It will just make all wars civil wars and rebellions).

  On a long enough time scale most things that could happen will happen, especially sequentially numbered items of which we already have multiple instances in recent memory.
