The article is a bunch of hot quotes sequestered from various media sources (and from Putin very own Cerberus dog, Dimitri Medvedev), and does not make a case for a full-fledged World War breaking out anytime soon. Well it does say that AI error will fire-up the nukes, but let's not go down that rabbit hole. Maybe AI wrote the article itself. Yes, Iran, Russia and China in particular have broad geopolitical aspirations that they have not been able to achieve with money and influence, ie.

They now chose to leverage with the West by prying on Western aversion to armed conflict. But bullying, hacking and horrific terrorist acts are no foreplay to WWIII.
