Is anyone else terrified of WW3 happening????

[Unidentified 2,930]

I don't know if it's because I'm from Sweden where we've always had Russia bugging us but... I've been waiting for WWIII for the last 20 years (I'm almost 30) so I've kind of stopped worrying until it actually happens.

I would say the chances are slim but the odds of it happening have increased since a toddler became President.

I remember your wise guidance when some try to hush me because confronting Putin on his behavior might lead to WW3.

Don’t quite remember that, but I do remember stating that what was done with respect to the election really wasn’t an issue to worry about.  Now if they were changing votes artificially, that would be a different story, but there is no evidence of that.

Hello,

 

I can't help but seem to constantly worry and it is really starting to eat away at me. I guess coming from Canada where I have always felt safe, I can't help but read the headlines and see the titles that read 'WW3 imminent', 'prepare for nuclear war', 'who will win the U.S. or Russia'. I really hope that I'm not alone in this but the fear of a nuclear war really terrifies me. I know in the summer there was more propaganda about a war with North Korea? I just want to know that I am not alone and if anyone else has these anxieties what helps them to calm them? It really terrifies me some days more than others it affects my day. My sister always just says if there is a nuclear war no one will live anyways so it won't matter where you are Any help is appreciated

Not trying to make you feel less safe in Canada, but the US and Canada were always tied together via NORAD and given that most Soviet missiles would have flown over the pole, that means Canada is somewhat of the "front lines" in a nuclear war and certainly would be mutually destroyed along with the US. That coupled with the fact that the majority of nuclear targets are in the northern hemisphere means that the years after the war would be difficult for any northern hemisphere dweller.

 

So if you are freaking out, move to Peru or something

I actually think we've already been being in a type of WWIII for the last two decades. Not all wars are faught the same way and this one doesn't have to look anything like the others in order to be one.

Proxy wars?  I think you could go back to the Korean War for finding when that started.
