Unless nuclear weapons are involved.

For the sake of discussion, I said two Billion would die in WW III. Some have expressed that is a relatively low number. I think you explained very clearly as to why the numbers would not be any higher. After two billion people drop like flies, those who are still alive will want peace no matter the price tag.

I believe the only rational move is to stock up, keep your ears open and bug out when you receive credible information to do so.
