I've just had an awful scare and I'm so frightened, need calming down. Just scrolling down Facebook and there's a Sun headline....Nuclear war could be imminent, troops sent near to Russian border. It's so so scary.

OP posts:

OP, try not to worry. NATO are deploying troops in Estonia and Poland to stop Putin waggling his willy over their borders. Polish friends' response is basically, "Meh, same old, same old." That may not be representative of everyone there, but they're remarkably unworried. And it's reassuring to think that NATO putting troops on the borders is much safer than Putin being allowed to trample over their countries unfettered.

I remember a few years ago, North Korea were firing/planning to fire missiles towards South Korea/Japan. South Korea's main headline on the day was:

"Psy, of Gangnam Style fame, releases 2nd single."
Grin They could not give a fuck.

Sorry I didn't RTFT just the OP!

DaphneCanDoBetterThanFred · 27/10/2016 22:39

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 27/10/2016 22:40

And I thought thought the Rothschilds were the crowning glory of the thread...,

MummyToOneGirl · 27/10/2016 22:41

Surely if Putin is really planning Nuclear war then he can be stopped?

PacificDogwod · 27/10/2016 22:41

OMG ThreeSheets!
Calm down, dear.
Don't hurt yersel, love.
It must be hard to be living in your head.

Scrappysmammy · 27/10/2016 22:42

The current situation worries me too OP, especially with Putin being so unpredictable and also having his jets flying over several times recently.

RockyBird · 27/10/2016 22:42

The Sun is for low voltage people.

BeezerBubble · 27/10/2016 22:44

On the bright side the Doomsday Clock still showing 3 minutes to midnight thebulletin.org/timeline , plenty time left Halloween Grin

SwedishEdith · 27/10/2016 22:45

"We are paying benefits to men with multiple wives" and "The influx of immigrants keeps wages down"

Make your mind up. Too much Sun, threesheets?

DaphneCanDoBetterThanFred · 27/10/2016 22:47

Beezer you menace Grin That is not going to help anyone's anxiety!

Hmm. 3 minutes you say. Time to brew one more cup of tea and have sex 7 times then.. Hooray!

BoinkAlongQuietly · 27/10/2016 22:47

You ok, threesheets that's a scary world you are living in.

Have some Wine

threesheets, there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. If all of them wanted all of us dead, we'd be dead already.

Have a Wine and calm yerself down, pet.

StarryIllusion · 27/10/2016 22:52

The sun always scares me. Mostly through wondering what hold they have over our government to be able to print such complete and utter bollocks and get away with it.

MummyToOneGirl · 27/10/2016 22:53

I'm sorry but I absolutely despair of mankind. Why are men trying to destroy this planet? And it is men, not women but men. I think if there were no men, and only women, this would be a wonderful world. Why can't we all live in peace and harmony? There is no need for war. It's men who are destructive, men who mainly kill, men who create wars.

Willow2016 · 27/10/2016 22:58

Threesheets

Exactlly what does your rambling anti muslim rant have to do with good ol boy Putin nuking us?

Whatever it is your drinking its not making you a happy bunny. Have a cuppa and a digestive, you will feel much better.

Willow2016 · 27/10/2016 23:00

Can Putin wait until after Halloween? I have 7 pumpkins waiting to be carved and a load of new decorations to put up outside. Not bloody wasting them for no bloody war.

MummyToOneGirl · 27/10/2016 23:01

I am really scared now. I have emailed the Prime Minister.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 27/10/2016 23:02

What with the Rothschilds and threesheets This thread has it all Hmm

DaphneCanDoBetterThanFred · 27/10/2016 23:03

"How many of you are aware that white people are a minority?"
This line from 3sheets is magical. I think I'm just going to start randomly grabbing people in the streets and shrieking "are you even aware that white people are a minority?? How do you cope??"
Grin

Obviously the frothing obscured things like atlases, world news, the existence of China, common sense...

FerretFred · 27/10/2016 23:05

Just to put this all in perspective. I actually stood on the White Cliffs and watched the Russian fleet sailing past. In front of it was a very sleek looking Royal Navy ship followed by a rusting hulk that has to sail the world with a tug in the flotilla in case the bugger breaks down.

The amount of smoke coming out of the thing I wasn't sure whether whether they were sailing or electing a new pope! If that's the best they have I'm not going to lose to much sleep.
