With the recent talk of Bill Browder potentially instigating WW3, it seems an opportune moment to explore Twitter traffic containing WW3 in much the same vein as we did warmonger and Russophobia.

As with warmonger and Russophobia, tweet volume for WW3 shows spikes corresponding with key real world events. Chemical attacks in Syria and various actions taken by Russia against Ukraine make up the lions' share. 
Here are the 40 accounts whose WW3 tweets have been most frequently retweeted. There are a few accounts that would've made the list due to a single viral tweet; these are excluded with the aim of highlighting the actual influencers.
What topics turn up in tweets containing WW3? Syria and Russia are perpetual topics, much of the 2014/2015 material mentions Ukraine, and more recently Hillary Clinton, Brexit, Trump, and deep state categories are prominent.
Along with the what, let's look at the who. This chart shows the usage over time of any proper noun that occurs in at least 1000 WW3 tweets. In a few cases, similar terms or terms that saw similar usage have been combined.
We've never heard of trumpathon(dot)com before, but it is evidently the most-frequently linked news site from tweets containing WW3. Not far behind are old favorites Infowars, Russia Today/RT, and beforeitsnews (spoiler: most of the material on this site will never be news).
Did the various banned political disinformation accounts that Twitter has released data on post tweets containing WW3? Indeed they did, at least the Russian and Venezuelan accounts. The languages vary, but many of the same names are featured.
Is there automation present among the WW3 tweets? Of 1450523 original tweets from 734809 accounts, 78618 (5.4%) were sent by 14215 accounts (1.9%) classified as mostly/fully automated. Additionally, 237620 tweets (16.4%) originated from 65321 (8.9%) partially automated accounts.
