I would agree that you are correct with the timing of the start of WWIII, I would argue that it ended when the USSR died.

Of course, WWIV will be as much a sequel to WWIII/Cold War as the later was to WWII, and WWII to WWI. Old grudges, old paranoias, and the same greed.

Bah, what a depressing post.
