Or maybe for WWIII weapons will be so destructive that we instead will fight it through propaganda, surveillance and trade. Maybe a country will build some militarized, new island, but nobody would date to touch those because weapons are already to scary.
Even if one country managed to install a puppet president in another, no military action would ever result because escalation to nuclear weapons is too frightening of a possible consequence.
