Do you think there's going to be a WW3?

[mmabear]

Trump scares the hell out of me. Is there going to be WWIII?

I hope not. Someone should take Trumps social media away from him.

Imagine the classrooms in 2080 learning the build up to ww3 through twitter...

No, why? What's going on?

Following with somewhat uneducated interest

Probably
In 2020??
Doubt it

I don't think there will be, but it's a tense time. But there have been tense times before.

He's not a man who should be trusted with the big red button though, that's for sure.

God I hope not.
Someone said ages ago, can’t remember who, that if he got in there would be!
Apparently he did it to stop a war!

He terrifies me as well. I can’t understand why his advisors allow him to behave the way he does, unless of course they are being very well rewarded financially.

Honestly, no but there‘ll definitely be more to come with the Iranians threatening to attack US bases. That said, things could change at the touch of Trump’s send tweet button.

No

I’m surprised there haven’t been more threads on this - it is terrifying. Trump has threatened to bomb areas of cultural interest if the Iranian’s retaliate; this is a war crime.
He has just tweeted to “give notice to Congress” that he will counter any retaliation with more violence “perhaps disproportionately “.

Iraq’s parliament has just voted to banish all American (and UK?) troops from Iraq. If they refuse to leave, this becomes a hostile occupation and an act of war
Iran has just put a bounty of £8million dollars on Trump’s head
6 rockets have been fired at the US embassy in Baghdad - there have been civilian casualties
3,000 US troops are currently on their way out to Iraq
Iran has, for the first time in it’s history, raised the red flag of vengeance - a call to arms and a declaration of war.

Is no-one else following this?

Trump shouldn't be allowed to tweet. He's so unpredictable and says what the hell he wants. To think he's the President of the United States is ridiculous, it's almost a parody

No I don’t think so.
Just a lot of “mines bigger than yours” going on.

I am surprised there hasn't been more threads too. In fact, I haven't seen one yet?

afterschool are you serious?

@dementedma

yeah, I've just been watching YouTube about keep all day.

I do listen to Newstalk all day during the week usually. Bloody hell...

@dementedma gosh that's worrying. I haven't read the latest.

I'm going positive and voting that no we won't be going to war. 🤞🏻 It's a scary time.

Is no-one else following this?

Yes I have been, but I have to say I don’t really understand why it started... it seems to have come out of nowhere? Maybe?

And why I really don’t understand even more is what it has to do with us? Why are we trying to get involved? I fear it’s sonething to do with the ‘special relationship’ with ‘have’ with America.

Honestly America wouldn’t piss on us if we were on fire. We are not a super power country anymore.

His latest tweet

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!

I really , really hope not.

DS1 is a soldier and DH is in the RAF so my stomach has been churning over this for the past few days.

No. There will probably be some revenge attcks and retaliation between the two, and some sort of cyber attacks/cyber war fought that way. Nobody wants to get involved in ww3. Suleimani’s maniac terrorist followers will cause a lot of noise about it. Glad he’s dead, just hope the fallout isn’t too hideous. Iran will suffer most.

Honestly America wouldn’t piss on us if we were on fire.

This. Have our politicians not learned anything from Iraq? Don’t answer that actually, do they ever learn

And yes I do think with men like trump and Johnson in charge we will end up in a war.
Time for the men to stand aside and let the women be leaders.

I can’t understand why his advisors allow him to behave the way he does, unless of course they are being very well rewarded financially.

I suspect some of them are book of Revelation end timers, which terrifies me. They believe that it's all God's will and a war will bring about the second coming. We'll, it's a bit more complex than that but that's the gist of it.

Yes I have been, but I have to say I don’t really understand why it started... it seems to have come out of nowhere? Maybe

It has a very long history. More recently, it's been the nuclear deal with Iran. Trump withdrew from it. Sanctions have been imposed on Iran.

It is so so complicated. So many issues and things to think about. Like a massive game of 3D chess. And now it's all escalating.
