Like, Xi coming out in a military uniform declaring the official establishment of the fourth international and an open invite to all current BRICS members, war against Israel, and a fatwa against the uh imperial powers (fuck off fbi).

We wont really be in the war period imo until its a hot war between China and the US. The smaller wars we see now are build ups to it. The same thing happened before WW2 you saw smaller conflicts that got more common or grew larger until it was a whole world war. Im still waiting for the US to invade mexico to be the germany invades poland moment.
