We ARE in WW3's prologue if not in the war itself, even if nothing major kicks off right now. The world's seeing this major power shuffle - US losing its grip while China keeps gaining ground. Both the US and Russia are trying to tear down the international system the US built after WWII, while China and Europe are holding onto it like a life raft. Even if today's tensions fade, this fundamental clash isn't going anywhere. We have a major war in Europe right now.
A reminder: World War II had different start dates for different nations - July 7, 1937 for Japan (invasion of China), September 1, 1939 for Europe (German invasion of Poland), and June 22, 1941 for Russia (Operation Barbarossa).
Similarly, World War III may mark different start dates - for Ukraine, it will be 2022.
