To be worried about the situation with Iran.

[dreamyspires]

I’m worried that it’s all going to escalate into war, and Russia gets involved, then that’s it, game over. It’s very scary.

I’m not scared. I just carry on living my life.

Don’t live in fear of the unknown.

Start a thread on Mumsnet then, that'll really help

The bank won’t be getting their outstanding mortgage money then once we are in a apocalyptic wasteland. Hahahaha Barclays Bank - I win this round!

The thing is that Iran won't escalate - it's tit for tat, so proportionate, and we are going to have a new PM soon to boot, so makes it difficult for whoever that is.

The US are putting together a task force for the Gulf, so we will be back to escorting shipping through the Gulf as we have done before, and the world didn't end then either. I also note that the US are stationing troops in Saudi, so Iran should consider itself on warning.

Would Putin get involved? Not sure.

Of course it helps coming on mumsnet can put things in perspective and calm me down. Why wouldn’t it help. No point in half the threads on here by that logic.
