Page 8 | Trump has said we are on the brink of WW3, aibu to agree with him?

He polls stronger as a wartime president than Harris so it's in his interest to say that.

@Whitenoise1 no I think that you need to consider other points of view that may be more measured and also more informed. Trump is known for exaggeration and negativity. He is not known for being informed. So any comment he makes should be viewed through that lens.

I don't believe it will be a world war because I don't think that the USA and other developed countries want it to escalate to that level.

I think YABU, but if Trump wins the election, I might swap to YANBU as I think he is literally fantasising about being a WWIII President and being memorialised like FDR, and I am not wholly secure that the Joint Chiefs of Staff and his Cabinet can keep him from that big red button.

Am I the only one who feels the UK is vulnerable due to supplying weapons to both Ukraine & Israel?

"vulnerable" to what, precisely?

Trump is a warmonger.

He's not, he's just an ignorant moron, so it's safe to file any of the nonsense that comes out of his mouth in the bin.

World war one and two became world wars because of colonialism. Lots of countries not originally affected by the war were dragged into it.
This will not be world war three. It may be war in the Middle East though.

I'm horrified by whats going on and admit I don't really understand it. But there is a big difference between war in the middle east and world war. Not for the unfortunates who will suffer in the middle east of course. I can't see east Asia or Africa or West Europe getting involved... therefore it's not a world war.

We are already involved as the UK supply weapons to Israel!!

Don't forget there is already a war raging in Europe with Ukraine & Russia again the UK are heavily involved with weapon supplies

Trump is a doom and gloom merchant.

He rules by fear and setting people against each other.

So basically you don't think that the escalation between Iran, Lebenon & Israel could lead to WW3. Trump is exaggerating?

Please can you tell me what wars were started under Trump as I’m struggling to think of any.

TofuTart · 01/10/2024 23:36

YABU. He's a nob.
So are you if you believe anything that comes out of his trap.

Oh, and of course Trump doesn't respect women either.

He's just a nasty man. Not a sympathetic bone in his body.

bluetongue · 01/10/2024 23:24

It’s always possible but Middle Eastern counties squabbling is hardly new so I’m not that worried.

Whitenoise1 · 01/10/2024 23:23

I do feel things in the Middle East are escalating rapidly & we do provide Israel with weapons as do the USA
