The assessment from the intelligence, security and defence expert and CEO of global risk analysis firm Sibylline comes amid a backdrop of multiple international crises, with conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East, and various regions in Africa and Asia.

The esclatating regional conflicts in the Middle East, coupled with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and the threat of invasion of Taiwan by China could create a perfect storm bringing about World War 3.
