Just that really, not sure if it's just media hype or if we're really on the brink. I've also seen an article in the guardian about the safest place in the U.K. to live in the event of an atomic bomb, I mean WTAF!

There is absolutely nothing you can do about it, so stop worrying.

If WW3 does happen, it likely wont be war as you know it - boots on ground, missiles etc.

It'll be a drawn out trade war between countries, cyber attacks etc.

I totally agree with this. A friend's husband works in cyber-security and he has said this for many years.

WWIII is not imminent. I doubt it will ever happen.

BUT do be careful when using stairs. So many accidents happen on staircases. The things that you fear are not the things you need actually fear. Mundane, everyday things that don't make headline news.

This is actually so true life really does have a way of slapping you in the face when you least expect it.

It was only a few months ago we where panicking we where going to war because of Ukraine and Russia. There are always wars going on. No country wants ww3 to happen it costs to much.

There may or may not be a world war

it may or may not involve large civilian deaths in the uk

it may or may not involve conscription of our youth

whilst men solve their problems with violence
we have been here before
and we will be here again

Don't read the Guardian comic, the Beano is much more cheerful and sensible.
