Certainly; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phony_war . That begs the question of whether this really is a world war, or what it’s pretty much looked like for most of the time since 1945: localized low-intensity conflict (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_intensity_conflict ).
I think whether or not this is a world war will be decided retroactively; it sure could turn into one, but I don’t think it’s inevitable.
Interesting tidbit on the Phony War. Of course, I’m fighting the RealFake war on my own front. Every day.
