If Israel nukes Iran, is several years every country in middle east will have nukes. Every single one. The non-proliferation will be history, nuclear warfare will be normalised, and Israel will be nuked soon after by someone. That is why Israel will not nuke Iran, but Bibi will ask Trmp nicely to do it and take responsibility for that historical victory over evil terrorists. Then Bibi and whoever follows him will keep saying "We didn't do it! Trmp did it! Here is proof!" If Trmp does it, everyone who follows him will say the same: "He did it! Here is proof!" Because he will say the magical words: "On my order..." Soon after that, half the countries in the world will make their own nukes, the other half will buy nukes from them, as everyone buys other weapons today. If not nukes, then chemical weapons, as they are "more sustainable" and leave no lasting contamination, while drone delivery systems would make them precise and highly effective, more so than nukes. In any case, this is where things are going now. As for forgiveness, Israel can live with it, Germany can live with what they did in WW2, Japan can live with what they did in WW2 (20mil dead only in China, genocidal atrocities beyond imagination). So when USA nuked Japan, it was a slap on the wrist compared with what Japanese did all over Asia. 20mil killed in China, 1mil killed only in Philippines, almost all of them civillians. Competitive beheadings - stuff that makes ISIS look okay, Japan can live with it till this day, no apologies.

Don’t care until they parachuting in like WW2 or storming the beach like D - Day

Deep_Attention_3064

I mean the Iranian regime is pretty f***** too but still no reason to invade them.... Huge part of the world has regimes or no real democracies still no reason to invade them... Not sure what they teach the kids but one thing is for sure that would be not a surprise if we start a WW3 bcs of them... I won't fight for any of these losers gonna escape to south America or something

Trump is the Anti-Christ ... this MF'er is on the edge of kicking off WW3

WeirdSysAdmin

So he’s likening the attack on Iran to the attack that pulled the remaining isolationist super powers into WW2? The accelerationists are all traitors.

rideveryday

Japan has suffered enough for what has happened, they have admitted theyhave become very humble post WW2. No reason to drop more bombs at a press event

No-Animator-1077

Japan still denies the Rape of Nanking to this day. Absolute ruthless monsters during WW2. Also one of the most xenophobic cultures out there. They went from talking about taking over the entire world with Germany to men smashing body pillows and anime. Nukes were a good thing. Trump is in the right here, and I say this as a person who completely detests him. I can smell the Japanese glazers in this thread.

PulIthEld

WW3 literally just started.

I_Sniff_Uranus

All the idiot had to say was that we are in full control and the war will be over within months. Instead he asked every country to join because he wants WW3

MakeNonShittyGames

If they do, Taiwan is fucked. China be watching. This is a WW3 scenario. China/Iran/Russia not just at war with the US but also allied together.

Hilux_Avet_Hobie

Even if WW3 happens, markets will still keep rising. Stocks and the economy are 2 very different worlds.

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

WW wassup

Stoney3K

Because modern capitalism is entirely dependent on endless growth. If the market were to go into a sustained drop, there will be a corrective move sooner or later, or we are at the threshold of WW3 and it's all game over.

Feltzinclasp5

Oh man... lol The USD and the Mark post-WW1 have absolutely nothing in common. Economies to scale, tax-base, debt structure. I could go on. That's like saying "bro go read up on the tulip bubble bro". Like okay, and then what? But surely you're not even serious, because you only own 3%.

BeaverSack

Agreed. Im just waiting for the catalyst. Oil or WW3 seems like a pretty good one.

My boy we’re shimmying toward an Oil crisis at best, WW3 at worst. -.84% is just fine.

KefirFan

If you had a contact in Iran they might be able to do this but you would probably have a hard time getting out big quantities that makes this worth it. That said, if this war causes WW3 the Rial will be a collectable in 50 years from now assuming there are people to collect currencies 50 years from now.

NotMe357

That was in 2025. We're in 2026 now so we're safe but hard to say about WW4 if he post it again.

Rustycake

Its not enough Israel just committed Genocide on Palestine (the true Israelites from what I have read) and continues to terrorize Palestine, but then we stole oil from Venezuela (suddenly drug boats are not a worry), started operations in Ecuador to battle "drug trafficking" (lets take a guess if Ecuador holds a lot of oil...), cut off any ability for Cubans to get any relief let alone oil to power their country, and now we are in Iran. If this isnt the start of WW3 I dont know what is. Ya'll better be going to your doctors and getting any ailments put on paper before this draft, cuz I am guessing age aint cutting it.

_Doomer_Wojack_

These $MU gay bulls are straight up French kissing the chart, drooling over 90+ calls like it’s a glory hole at the semiconductor orgy…while the Middle East burns, oil rips to $95+, and the planet’s two headlines from WW3. Shameless homoerotic options porn: ‘Micron’s throbbing IV crushed me raw…’ I need eye bleach and a therapist. Disgusting. Passionate. Peak 2026 degeneracy.

Bro WW3 started like 4 years ago

TheWokenessInjector

Start of WW3 means gold drops almost 10%. Bro what kind of regarded timeline are we trapped in?!

AgitatedStranger9698

The US Military will NOT want to leave at this point. That means they've yet to win a war since WW2....very British level of failing there. BUT Trump is going to band aid/rug pull them here soon.

Worried_Quarter469

Did we lose WW3?

owenmills04

He doesn’t. At least he framed his answer the way, unlike most of Reddit that’s claiming WW3 is beginning His take is the most reasonable and likely. Reddit is full of doomers who are always wrong

_Doomer_Wojack_

It’s crazy people still think this is still a possible situation. The only way this will end is through war of attrition. Iran is a martyrdom nation. They do not operate like other countries in the west .. different values and philosophy. They are almost equivalent to Japanese people in WW2 and what did we have to do to end the war … nuke the shit out of them

_Doomer_Wojack_

Honestly surprised how stupid the market is. I’m sure the market players are dumping onto these dumb fucking buyers and algos or whatever is keeping the market up. It simply makes no sense how we are at relative all time highs with everything going on.. strait shut, Middle East all fucked up, Russia Ukraine, basically the introduction to a WW3 event but I think average people don’t know anything what’s going on in the world and how serious it is Until gas is at $10 a galllon

_Doomer_Wojack_

People don’t know the history of the mullah, Iran and it shows here and in the market. They are a Shia people and practice religion of martyrdom. Almost to akin to the Japanese people in WW2. They will go on with the war til last man standing or til when we drop a nuclear bomb on Iran

ku1185

This is a good bet. People eligible for the draft will have to start sucking cocks to avoid fighting in WW3, and given how this generation is soo straight and afraid of feminine dicks that they voted for WW3, I'm long on ED meds (pun intended).

WW3 Is really bears vs bulls

DelphiTsar

If that's WW3 then we already had WW3 with the cold war. This would be WW4. Arguably WW5 because Ukraine/Russia. West collectively pushed that back through various non kenetic means. If you mean kinetic conflicts between world powers on world powers soil then there will never be a WW3 until Nukes can be reliably countered in all forms. Best you are going to get is regional proxy wars, that's hardly WW3 worthy. Also I have to take a shot every time someone says brics and my liver is killing me so please stop. TBH alligning yourself with BRICS is the single worst thing for a currency. Every currency apart from China that has aligned themselves with BRICS has crumbled immediately after. Just say it's to counter China.

ihatereddit5810328

The reality is that the war is going to end probably soon. Reddit makes it seem like WW3 is going to happen or that we are in Iraq 2.0. Oil is moving. It’s a good sign for the world and the markets.

Traditional_Page_75

Reminder: During WW2, American headlines were full of deception, never including decisive events until after the fact. Just endless broadsides like “Hitting them Hard in the Pacific!” and “Sinking German Subs in the Atlantic!” Since the war was won by us, we tend to conflate the press as free and accurate. It wasn’t. There is actually a large body of work that argues that Western liberal societies profited immensely during the wars of the 20th century because they were particularly good at creating content in their societies that generated mass lies, hysteria, and confusion / Compliance.

TJMBeav

Only 6% of ballistic weapons hit the target in WW2. That is a fantastic statistic. And incredibly bullish for America!

Me-Regarded

Is this the end ber? Financial collapse, WW3, black swan, martial law... What doom are we hoping for today?

givemethestars000

US to Japan in WW2: The war is over. Surrender now. US to Iran: The war is over. But we'll keep pounding you.

Kabrosif

We are trying to control Hormuz Strait to control the oil going to China to slow down or stop brics from destroying the Petro Dollar and world currency of USD. If that’s not WW3 your education has failed you. Buckle up retard you’re in for a long ride.

peterpeer9

WW3 is going on rn and the only way any of us can get a job is telling a mcdonalds interviewer "my entire life is actually about burgers. I actually want to be a burger when i grow up"

Preventing WW3. Glad we are stopping the nuke program. Good job POTUS.

Different_Being368

In a situation like we are right know some investors hedge against WW3, its always like this. Same story was during the beginning of 3 day special operation.

#Their plan is to steal everyone's job so that everyone will be forced to join military out of desperation for WW3 LMAO🤌

alphacarrera3

If WW3 broke out, maybe the numbers in your investment account is the last thing you should worry about

Wafflez424

God I could see it now, GCC countries try to expel US Armed Forces from their bases, Trump says no we are America and these are our bases, forces them to stay, now we got probably thousands if not 10s of thousands of soldiers as hostages to various foreign nations… this man most likely will start WW3

No-Improvement3164

All in all I’m actually impressed. What other market could withstand a press conference with Ukrainian leader in the Oval Office on national television talking about WW3 with extreme anxiety, Rename a Gulf, Claim Canada will be the 51st state, plan to take over Greenland, take over Venezuela, Tariff the entire world, Bomb Iran, Jack up oil prices, Beg and demand allies to help, get DENIED and your Market hasn’t CRASHED. 👏🏻👏🏻🤡🤡

DickiesDippinDicks

We took Venezuela Started a fresh conflict in the Middle East All while choking out Cuba If we, the USA, start prodding Nicaragua then it’s official The theater for WW3 will be set and for some fucking reason we decided it was best to get out in front of everything 2026 is going just great

Godherebros

Canada was part of the British Empire in WW2 wasn't it?

maceman10006

Yup. I’ve been saying it for months that Trump will start WW3 so he never has to face the Epstein files. If Congress has any common sense they would remove him and Vance from office immediately. Don’t even prosecute him for anything…just get him out of the way before he kills potentially hundreds of millions of people.

StatisticianLivid710

Actually Canada didn’t join the US in Vietnam or Iraq, also we joined WW2 at the beginning and not after we were directly attacked. There’s a reason we took Juno beach on our own, the only non-imperial country to do so (end of the British Empire, start of the American empire, which is ending in flames right now). We also joined ww1 right away and not 3 years later.

QFGTrialByFire

The US has forgotten .. it didn't win WW2 because of the 1940s. It didn't become reserve because of Brenton woods.  It won because of what FDR did in the 1930s. Remove tariff barriers. Build not extract and enforce. Encourage trade not destroy it. It discounts what FDR truly did. That is what built the industrial base that the US has lived off for 100years. Trump spits on what FDR did. Long puts for FDR.

iFiredIce

Tbh was thinking bout gettin out of my calls now since shit has just been a slow bleed. I know the second I do WW3 is going to be announced though so I'm taking the L for the world on this one

Somebody would have to come to Irans aid for it to turn into WW3. Thats just not happening.

johnny_51N5

Really? Source? Did the Nazis invite someone like JP Morgan to look into their war machine during WW2? I heavily doubt it

Character_Pirate_152

WW3 is actually very bullish. Fewer people = better unemployment numbers and more business for AI.

You’re wrong. Carvana is actually going to save us all from WW3 and high fuel prices

JustBrowsinAndVibin

I think we’re rallying because the rest of the world is ignoring Trump’s begging to get involved. For the first time, it looks like the war will not escalate to an all out WW3 nuclear holocaust.

CaskJeeves

WW3 TACO being priced in rn

JOPAPatch

He will when the ground invasion fails. Military action is more than just words. They have meaning. We got into this stupid war in the first place because people don’t know war. Where will the ground invasion happen? Iraq and Turkey oppose the war and will not allow us to launch an assault from their territory? By air? History has not been kind to air assaults not backed by a conventional ground force. Operation Market Garden in WW2 failed because the airborne troops faced resistance. Not heavy resistance, but resistance. Their intel suggested that the Netherlands were defended by old men and boys. The Nazi invasion of Crete obliterated the Nazi airborne corps to the point they were never used again in any appreciable operation. And most recently, the Russian VDV attack on Hostomel airport ended with the attackers running out of ammo, and the defenders running them over with sedans and pickup trucks. By sea? An amphibious landing is used to secure a beachhead or port to allow a conventional ground force to land. The US lacks the ships required to move such a force from sea to land. We do not have the Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) ships in the US Navy or Military Sealift Command. Where would the ships depart if they even existed. Would the UAE or Oman really allow us to stage an invasion from their territory when all Arab nations are refusing to allow US aircraft to conduct strikes from their airbases? Where does the force go once they are in Iranian territory? Iran has more in common with [archipelagic islands](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/5/map-shows-how-big-iran-is-compared-with-the-50-us-states) than other mainland nations. This wouldn’t be an issue if the nation was flat. Instead, it is one of the most mountainous nations on earth with roughly 55% of their landmass covered by mountains. The Zagros Mountains average between 7,000-9,000 feet. The main roads go through these mountains without any way to bypass them. Even if the US could invade from the west, conduct an amphibious assault from the southeast, and drop troops in along the Gulf coast; where do they go? Tabriz is the closest city to the west that can be reached and then it’s all mountains separating it from the center of the nation. Chabahar, the only major port outside of the Strait of Hormuz, is tiny compared to the rest of their ports. The major roads leading to the center also go through the mountains. And there’s no major cities along the Gulf coast, with only a few major roads to lead to the center. The US military, especially the Navy, has war gamed this conflict extensively. Their conclusion was that it was not going to be won. How do you think the Republican base will respond when the war is lost? When American troops die en masse because they’re fighting in battles that past Generals say would be lost?

Increased fuel prices = increased price of all goods. Less buying, plus the pre-existing steady job losses, and bleak sentiment. Add in the potential of WW3 beginning before our eyes. Things could absolutely get bad.

They referred to WW1 and WW2 as a special military operation all the way until the 60s apparently

soad1331

Did they refer to it as WWI as it was happening? Or did they just call it WW? Or afterwards were They like, yeah that was the WW. They probably didn't call it WWI until there was WWII. I mean, WWIII we'll just know what to call it.
