Is war likely?

Aye be gone with ya. Take your xenophobic views elsewhere.

Are you so ignorant that you don't understand what happens to elections in time of war?

Nope

Ah you must be a kent variant? When you say "if there is one" ominously, what Debbie downer dystopia are you suggesting ? Or are you considering the possibility of a reinstatement of monarchial rule by Charles III (and the ghost of Diana?)

Are they? What makes you think that? They don't seem to be doing a very good job of it if so.

Who wants to cosplay war? This specimen.

Yes, and rather concerning that it’s apparently going to take Europe about 10 years to re-arm. Putin is 73, I can’t see him hanging around, he’s going to want to make his move sooner than then.

Nobody could afford WWll. It didn’t prevent it. And no, people wouldn’t refuse to fight, they wouldn’t get any choice.

I would never vote Reform. I do live in ganglands and I am quite keen to have left this place well before the next election-- if there is one.

In the next days/weeks? I don’t think so.

Months / year? Probably not.

In the next 5 years ….. I reckon there will be a war of sorts, possibly cyber / trade based rather than military, but who knows.

I do think that with climate change, mass migration, resource shortages etc we are heading for WW3 within the century. I think the current culture wars, nationalism and scuffle for land and resources is just the beginning.

Ok you Reform weirdo. Isn't there a Daily Mail headline that needs a bit of hate speech by you in the comments?

With Trump I think probably war is less likely because

• Trump has a huge ego and wants to be lauded with ending the Ukraine war
• Zelensky, after his planned humiliation by Trump and Vance and after US withdrawal of military support now has no option but beg to give away Ukraine's minerals in exchange for a peace treaty.
• If USA have control of minerals they have a presence in Ukraine that Russia wouldn't attack.
• The price for peace will be Russia keeping all territory taken so far and maybe even more and Zelensky resigning.

BUT

In the medium term Russia will know USA is no longer Europe's back up and may not do anything in acceptance with NATO treaty (ie attack one NATO country is am attack on all), so may well feel like they can take more Baltic states. This would possibly mean European reaction and war between Europe and Russia. So v unstable situation. Without USA military backstop it's a brave new world.

A lot of you seem to go around in your little bubble and don't see the large urban areas given over to gang rule, the enclaves where nary a word of English is heard, the huge strife between immigrant populations importing their vendettas.

The war is starting and it won't be an attack from outside.

You can't think of anything that has happened in the last 6 weeks that would make an invasion of Taiwan more likely? Of the US going back on its obligations to protect Taiwan?

I’d go to war for Zelenskyy 🇺🇦🥰

Proudest moment was when he called JD Vance “suka/bitch” in the Oval Office of all places. He’s so sassy. Love him.

For the last 5 years.

There were more wars under Biden than Trump so no. As much as people seem to be frothing for it.

Agreed. My friend is so worried about terrorism that she won’t go to London (her sister lives there) and wouldn’t come with me to a concert in Manchester. She asked why am I so ok with it.

Because I’m just living my life, I was evacuated from my home because of a bomb scare last year. Thankfully it was a false alarm but it just goes to show that I could have sat inside my house worrying about the very thing that could have killed me by being there.

Life is too short. I’m not worrying about WW3.

FFS

Please can MNHQ arrange a war board or something? These threads are getting out of hand now

There’s a lot of willy waving at the moment, but hopefully things will settle down quickly. Trump is known for changing his mind on a whim so you never know what the next day will bring.

Are you sure ? And which one ?

Of course there won't be WW3. No one can afford it, and there's the worlds so hung up human rights where people would simply refuse to fight. So no, of course there won't be.

Yes, but at least being right in the middle we will go quickly
