I don't know if I'm going crazy but looking at the current situation in the world ... please tell me that I'm overexagurating

You are probably overexaggerating.
There are increased conflicts over the world but no signs of a world war.

First there are no willing candidates for it. Not even Russia which is engaged in a war is willing to make the push to engage NATO, which is the closest to a world war we would get.
Neither is Iran willing to go into war which was very obvious after their actions when Israel made ample opportunities for them to escalate conflict.
And for China.. well war is bad for business, and China really likes doing business.

However the US with Trump at the helm. ๐Ÿคท Who the fuck knows. Maybe not world war but I am adding military occupation of Panama and Greenland to my bingo just in case.
