1. Because you were saying a "world" war could break out to extend the Atlas arc, in that post quoted. Atlas is the only global force capable of starting such a war, but they have every reason not to try anything, the only thing they *might* do which could instigate such a war is police northern Vale or have a civil war, but neither would end up involving other nations to make it a "world" war.

Why quote the last sentence rather than the last two or the whole paragraph? You didn't argue that it wouldn't allow them to extend the Atlas arc.

2. Again, such a war would not involve all 3 other nations, thus not a "world" war.

Why wouldn't it? You seem to think you know everything about the story before it is out. Vale and Mistral aren't completely without fighting capability. They are in weaker positions and seemingly unstable, but that's all the more reason why there might be a war. A lot of other players are involved in this as well. For one, there is no telling whether Adam might still be able to gather loyalists and Menagerie is certainly in a position to be a force now.

3. He's disgraced... Ironwood wouldn't exactly bother with confiding in him.

Why wouldn't he? Say the guy was responsible for giving Ironwood his robotic attachments, do you think he would cut him out? Also, "disgraced" can mean anything and be a result of anything. There is no reason to presume it is something that would make it absolutely intolerable for Ironwood and him to still be friendly.
