Just as silly as WW1 starting over the assassination of an Archduke who was so disliked that most of his family did not go to his funeral?

Wars often start over silly things and then escalate because neither side wants to look weak and back down.

How do you see it starting, assuming that you think that it will happen?

Won't happen. MAD still exists. It has kept the nuclear peace for over 60 years now and will continue to do so. If anyone was reallly insane enough to commit planetary suicide they'd have done it by now
