    i’m not at all concerned since the us is led by a mentally stable person who definitely thinks before he acts while considering all possibilities, outcomes, and consequences and doesn’t get all his information from cable news.

    War is basically inevitable at this point

    Whatever your stance on the Pedophile Felon President, basically all of his policies are inevitable going to destroy the economy of the USA. Once that happens, the only option would be to use force internally to control the people and internationally to literally steal what they need to stay afloat

    The people of the USA are still deluding themselves that their military will be loyal to the people because they didn’t march super well for the Rapist in Chief that day… ignoring the military has followed every single idiotic order to date without as much as a follow up question

      We are in it already. Its an information and psy-ops war. Propaganda, fear, manipulation, controlling tech platforms, making people fight eachother over race, gender, whatever.

      This is why everyone feels anxious.

      Its not going to be a day when we see on the news that we are in a world war. Its ongoing and quiet.

      History books may say that it started around 9/11, but depends on who writes the history…

    Reminder that they basically changed the scale in the 90’s, when history was supposed to be over. It’s higher now than during the damn Cuban missile crisis, not because we’re somehow closer, but because of a kind of ratchet effect as a very baseline Cold War level of tension returns.

    i feel this whole clock thing is such a liberal jerk off grounded in idealism not materialism. theyve been edging on 89 seconds to midnight since 2024.

    i remember them moving the clock forward when north korea did some missile test a long time ago, as if north korea are the global aggressors 🙄. and of course it was 7 minutes to midnight during the cuban missile crisis.

    trump threatening war on like 5 different countries is worrying, but i feel its mostly just MIC stock manipulation.

    A bit more concerned now that the US is resuming nuclear tests.

    To be honest, the idea of nuclear weapons ever being used again is far scarier to me than WW3 in general.

    I’m not very concerned about global war.

    China doesn’t want war, Europe doesn’t want it. Sure the US might attack someone, but that’s not global war.

        South America? He already is fucking worth Venezuela, probably would attack Cuba, Columbia, and Panama as well.

        He’d invade a whole bunch of Central America too if he knew any of the other countries’ names.

    Im currently on the ostrich defence.

    I stopped watching the news, I blocked as much news as I can on here and reddit.

    Piece of piss.

      A friend of mine just got her first real break from her 3-yo-kid in a while… she caught up on the news… by the next day she was in the ER having a full panic attack she couldn’t stop.

      She’s a therapist.
