Domination = bad, but that's the way thing goes. Value judgments have nothing to do with natural selection. Empire rise and fall, the universe doesn't care.

The only other plausible ww3 is against China who's basically a stand in for the Soviet union and would make no real difference.
>US vs EU
This wouldn't make any sense unless we're in an alternate timeline where Napoleon or Hitler won.
