How scared are you at this moment....January 2020, of World War III?

Are you constantly watching the news and scouring the internet for information on what’s going on?

Do you look at your kids and wonder if they’ll become adults?

Or....do you just shrug your shoulders, avoid the news and not give a toss?

To be honest there isn’t a lot I can do as an individual to stop it. I suspect there will not be a world war but just a continuation of the proxy wars in the Middle East and Africa with the superpowers using their technology to slaughter poor people.

Not at all - you would have to be a particularly retarded muppet to consider it in any way imminent.

I don't think there will ever be another World War. That's not to say I'm not scared about the state of the world.

I suppose between world war or Greta and her doomsday cult there doesn't seem to be chance of a future. Oh Well.

There will definitely be a World War Three.

It might be in five years, it might be in a hundred but it's coming.

World War Four will be fought with bows and arrows.

Don’t read / watch the news, I can’t do anything about any of it so what’s the point? It’s always doom and gloom, I stopped about 1 year ago and it’s been fantastic

If America decides to kick off against Iran, It'll all be remote, and over in 20 minutes. Can't see Iran shipping over to the states to start, and as always, the threat of MAD has kept the peace so to speak for the last 60 odd years.
So - in answer to your question - NO.

Not worried.

The Cold War was close and that was OK in the end.

Home Guard for me as well, but I can only tell a few stories about Ivan, they come nowhere near the quality of FuzzyWuzzys and Muhammad Ahmad

We’ll be fine. Trump will just nuke Iran if it comes to it. He’s mad enough to do this eventually... deterrence.
