How to Start World War III in a Box

Start bombing Russians in some Shithole Country with No Strategic Value for the US after Said Russians Have Just Won Proxy War for Some Tinhorn Dictator
The US, who likes to preach to the world about human rights and moral ethics, having just supported Saudi Arabia in killing Houthi children in Yemen, is outraged about a chemical attack in Syria which it alleges was carried out by said tinhorn dictator. So nutcase dictator Trump says, "We'll see what we shall see." Having lost the war in Syria, the US is preparing to restart it again. Only this time Syria is loaded with Russian military men and equipment. What could go wrong here?
The US has no moral superiority, chemical attack or no chemical attack. It has ravaged the whole Middle East in a process by which the outcome was determined to be that the US' enemy, Iran, was handed the reins in the Middle East. Funny, you fight a war the outcome of which is that some third party, namely your enemy, comes out the winner. Smart strategic thinking here. Then thinking that it's not too late to restart a war you've already lost, you return to the fray led by a nutcase President and a shithole-destroying Secretary of Defense.
Since Obama did not cross the red line he projected with his laser pointer, Trump wants to have a go at it. His turn to get embroiled in the Middle East, this time fighting Russians as well. Makes sense. The US lost the war once. Maybe this time will be different. The first time you had a rational man as President; this time you have a looney tunes. But Lockheed Martin needs the business. Might as well crank up the war expenditures especially after you've given the US billionaires a helluva tax break which is in the process of running up the US budget deficit by a trillion dollars a year. Question is: who is going to buy all that US debt? Or maybe the question is who is going to dump US Treasuries creating a real financial crisis?
The US has lost whatever moral stature it had in the world under President Obama and whatever residual moral stature it had after WW II. Now it is just seen as the world's bully, a hypocrite on human rights which supports Saudi Arabia , a country with one of the worst human rights records in the world. If the US public was smart, they'd get rid of the joker in the White House and all his Republican friends, and increase their moral stature by apologizing for the debacle they wrought in the Middle East.
