Will the current turbulent situation lead to a third world war?
I would argue that we have been in WW3 for a while … since this whole “de-globalization” started.
World wars are hard to define … what started WW2? Is there a single moment in time? Was it Pearl Harbor? Was it the invasion of Poland? By the time the Germans Invaded the conditions for world war had already been around for a while.
I’d argue that we’re currently in the “appeasement” phase of WW3 … I just hope that it’s a cold and mostly economic war … and not one with global drafts and attrition (altho Russia and Ukraine already have broken that barrier)
From what I’ve gathered from the comments, I think we’re safe so far
No, Russia and China don’t give a shit. Russia is too busy with losing to Ukraine, and China isnt happy with Iran bombing places that actually give China more oil than they do.
No, WW3 won’t happen until China goes for Taiwan, and even then that’s just another step, dunno if that would explode into a bonafide world war.
No
Things are looking pretty fucking bleak, but not in a “Spanish flu in the trenches” kind of way.
The US is turning into fucked up Gilead.
Water shortages are about to be a thing.
Drove past Glen Canyon dam the other day. Everything in the area has high water due to early snow melt, and yet powell lake and glen canyon are noticeably low. Gonna be bad year for anyone downstream.
It’s gonna be a bad entire foreseeable future. The laws governing how much water can be used from the Colorado River were all made during an unusual wet spell that they mistook for normal; it can’t actually supply that much. Unless the politicians manage to get their shit together and reduce the allocations, levels are just going to get worse and worse and worse until there’s nothing left, even if the weather isn’t bad.
Iran has been stirring shit for too long for anyone with military credibility to step in on its behalf. It’ll be a regional conflict at most.
No.
IMO 2026 is the turn around year for europe/russia already and europe will slowly provide enough stability to the world to prevent WW3.
Lots of stupid wars and conflicts lay ahead though.
Don’t forget to add Cuba, Greenland, and Canada that Trump has threatened to take over.
Holy ai map, batman. What the shit is that?

Hey, maybe whoever created this map just has a really thick London accent. Although that wouldn’t explain all the other mistakes.
It’s cheap-ass AI. Just to put a visual onto the current status. Not meant to be quality.

No, this is just Iraq again, but with the victim throwing bombs at everyone close this time
I think by “WW3” you are really asking, will countries start lobbing nukes at each other? Unlikely, although I wouldn’t put it past Trump to try one at least once. Rumors are that he has asked the military to use nukes more than once already and they refused or talked him out of it.
No. This is one demented pedophile and a criminally indicted zionist radical doing pirouettes and backflips while lining their coffers.
It will further radicalise the Middle East to be sure, but everything they can do from the air is already done.
There is no plan, and bibi probably never thought he would get this far.
Trump can’t afford to keep this going whilst maintaining the rest of global security and keep persuading his other hobbies in Greenland, Venezuela, Mexico and Canada.
Also, the domestic situation inside USA and the Epstein files not going away may soon divert his attention away again. As you’ve probably seen, the dude and his circle is all about market pump and dump for all the insider trading and hit and run military operations so to make his weak ass look big bold and strong. If they were serious about Iran they wouldn’t be doing it like this.
Short of China invading Taiwan, this is probably the closest we will get. Multiple world powers fighting each other, proxy wars, etc.
China invading Taiwan
which won’t happen for so many reasons. honestly, china seems to be the thing holding the global economy together
The odds just got higher. If China goes for Taiwan, and the US goes all out to defend them, I’m willing to say thats it, WW 3.
It won’t be as cinematic as the second, but that’s my line.
China doesn’t need to do anything, the US could just do what they just did and attack first.
If China and Russia had come to Iran’s aid then it would be WW3.
But they didn’t so it’s just going to be dusty Vietnam. Again.
