Many people feel the way you do. But the Cold War did harness the industrial weight of the big powers. The current conflict does not, but then World War 4 is an "asymmetrical" war against irregular forces, unlike the previous three.

In fact, Iran is the most likely flashpoint for a US-Russia showdown. So the ultimate World War 3 nightmare scenario is not necessarily a thing of the past...
