With this week's events in the Middle East on the table, along with yesterday's shooting down of a passenger plane (with American passengers on it) by Russian forces, is WW3 upon us?
Remember how America got involved in WW2: Germans sank a passenger ship with American passengers on it.

You are confused. WW3 has never ended. WW3 is the Cold War, which is resuming now, after the stalemate, when commie state failed its perestroika and America hesitated to deal Russia final blow back in 90ies, so now Russia formed this BRIC alliance with the former Cold War allies.
Back in 20th century West dealt with just Russia and a bunch of 3rd world counties, where Russia was constrained by atheist ideology (which made it harder to deal with Islamic groups) and pro-Western population of Eastern Ukraine, Baltic countries and Georgia. Now West would have to deal with the whole BRIC + Iran, North Korea and Syria - all Russian allies.
