Is war likely?

In the UK in the next few years given world events?

What do people think will happen?

My personal view is that it is likely though of course not inevitable - but there is a path now for Europe to step up - but with the mad orange man who knows what will happen.

There are countries, who are definitely not our allies, who are gearing up for war and who are starting to form closer relationships with each other. Russia, North Korea, Iran, China. And the US appears to be sidling up to Russia.

We are already experiencing tactics such as massive cyber attacks, attacks on shipping, cables being cut.

Some form of war is coming.

The US are trying to stop the bloody war fgs.

I think us being dragged into a war is likely but WW3 and the uk being a target is unlikely atm

I’m glad you’ve asked this, I struggle to keep up with it all and fully understand, but I am quite worried.
