Extremely concerned. The rise of facism always means mass death
I’m not nearly as concerned about global war as I am about Civil War. There are enough reasonable leaders on all sides that if the few really whacky ones get froggy, they’ll get dealt with.
The world biggest problem is the 800 pound gorilla in the White House. He’s everybody’s loose cannon.
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.
Global war between who?
Russia has been shown to be a paper tiger. China wants to dominate through trade not warfare. Everybody else doesn’t really have an axe to grind. At least, not on that scale.
America against something.
The possibility of Trump launching military operation against Mexico, Canada, Denmark, China, or whatever his dying brain will come up with next is small, but not zero.
I don’t know what will happen if Trump will annex Greenland. I don’t know what will happen if he nukes Mexico. I don’t know what will happen if he puts military ships in China water to intimidate them into giving him money. But I can’t rule out this and many more idiotic actions of his.Venezuela is target #1. Very unlikely to use nuclear weapons. Bomb some more people, and declare victory after Exxon contract awarded.
He won’t confront China
My guess is venezuela is going to ‘kick it off.’ Trump does something stupid as another bit of red meat to toss to his little horde, he pushes argentina to help in some way, maybe he gets really brazen and tries something against brazil for their crime of daring to say anything against him (and maybe because he still has bad feelings about them from when musk was his little bestie), and china and russia decide to get rich by selling weapons to the south american countries, who will obviously have feelings about the whole us invasion. That pulls american attention away from asia, letting china have more options in their local area to bully around, and that kicks off something from that area.
Europe, africa, and the middle east might get out mostly free of conflict. The ukraine/russia war will likely still plod along.
US also proved itself a paper tiger,
it’ll be a way between senile geriatrics trying to feel relevant
My worry isn’t that we will have a rational war. War isn’t rational to begin with.
My worry is that we will have an irrational war. All it takes is a button push to end the world.

I’m not sure Hong Kong is a good example. It was returned to China from the UK in the 90s. So everything since then is “internal”.
Tibet on the other hand…
It’s a real concern, but Ukraine war is proceeding to its just conclusion. EU will accept it better than they let on. It’s expected that world will allow US war on Venezuela without any compassion, just weapons profits. Because resisting US through proxy war is more profitable than sinking its air carrier battle group, through nuclear strike/torpedo, there is less risk of doomsday than 1-2 years ago. Europe will try to get nuked though.
Ukraine war is proceeding to its just conclusion
A million dead on both sides and a Ukraine that is never safe within our lives while Russian billionaires make bank and Ukrainian billionaires join Juan Guiado and Jair Bolsonaro in Miami is hardly justice.
Hell it’s not even a conclusion.
It’s the great equalizer, everybody will suffer and die equally while those hiding in bunkers will be sealed in with concrete by angry ghouls.
It is on the back of my mind, but there’s only so much I can do as a civilian. And I’ve already got enough personal stuff to keep me busy before turning to the news.
This clock thing is fucking stupid.
The people who have the power to burn it all down are unstable. I am concerned, but helpless.
liberal bullshit
yes its the liberals fault. just take anything you don’t like and put “XYZ is liberals fault”
Trump’s cabinet probably:
And that’s the doves. The hawks are more like…
Now playing The Doves - Rise
More like this:
All that movie highlights is that nothing has really changed in 60 years.
It’s definitely way funnier than reality that’s for sure
Mein Führer, I can walk!
How are they determining this
By vibes. Legit that’s all it is.
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
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.
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.
