WW

Filias9

It's close to million now. Grounded 500k. I think Russia lost more people in Ukraine war then US in all the wars in 20th century. WW1 & 2 included. Or it is closing to this number fast.

Running_Gamer

You’re right. WW2 was significantly more difficult and less one sided than the Iran War.

mRPerfect12

You're an idiot 🤣 this situation and WW2 are not remotely the same.

Running_Gamer

Because we must defeat America’s enemies? That’s literally the purpose of the military? Should we not have defeated the Nazis? You are literally the same group of people who were shilling hard to keep the US out of WW2. This whole situation is basically a repeat of Woodrow Wilson’s “he kept us out of the war” campaign, where he then proceeded to bring the US into the war, which was absolutely necessary and led to a golden age of US hegemony.

Iran fires ballistic missile labeled "EPSTEIN" More epstein leaks happen 🥭 gets desperate and starts WW3 SPY 500

Dull_Broccoli1637

*The U.S Army raised the maximum age to join from 35 to 42, starting April 20. The minimum age is still 18 (or 17 with permission). This change applies to the Regular Army, National Guard, and Reserves. They also updated the rules so people with one marijuana possession charge can join without extra approval.* Lmao WW3 draft confirmed?

torokunai

hard to say 'oops our bad' after trying to kill their entire leadership. this is, actually, a shooting war now. Just like WW2 was. Iran ain't no Japan, but they're not a small nation and have two very powerful friends who can help them directly, while Japan was all by its lonesome in the NE corner of the globe, and on less-than-friendly terms with both Moscow and Nanking/Chungking.

Me-Regarded

I'll never understand ber logic. All they do is claim WW3 is coming, and mumbling about inverted yield curves for years

gosumage

Sounds like they want to get ready for the WW3 draft.

Zef-Daytrade

No one can win the war with Iran with the current rate, you pull a near WW3 style of war. Look at Ukraine/Russia war and you should understand that USA and Israel is no where stocked enough with arms to pull that off. And lets be honest Israel shapes the narrative the most, USA is second. Iran gets over-shouted by Iran haters to really shape anything. USA and Israel dosent even need to lift a finger for that.

John_T_Conover

If things do get out of hand they'll do WW2 style government interventions.

JakeSal10

US just raised maximum enlistment age from 34 -> 42. And got rid of the waiver requirement for marijuana possession. With the first pick, in the 2026 WW3 draft, the United States selects….. YOU 🫵 yea you buddy.

borkdpasito

You would need hundreds of thousands of troops to take Iran brother. WW3 would ensue 🥭 is too pussy

Avocadonot

Oil bulls need WW3 at this point

MyCactusTeacher

why would iran surrender when the US hasnt won any major war since WW2

OG_unclefucker

People don't want this war. This isn't fucking WW2 its Vietnam essentially. There is barely any moral high ground after they bombed the leadership of.the side they were actively negotiating with. Israel is fighting a two fron war, gulf got fucked, iran got fucked, whole of asia got fucked because bibi and 🥭 decided they beed points for their elections. We are fucked. Even if hormuz reipens we are atill fucked because infrastructure got hit. You can't magically repair a refinery.

Templar_Swamp_Stake

I’m real happy WW3 is called off and all, but does someone have a fucking link?

Wall_St_Bussy

We have a concept of an end to WW3

0mica0

WW3 yesterday, WW4 tomorrow, WW5 next week!

Poor_Life-choices

Different from WW2 how?

Detailed23

If we go into WW3 the market could take a major hair cut. 30% or more. Its not about timing the market, its about waiting to see if the powers that be really make the market dump.

limitz

Then so was Iraq, Afghanistan, and even Vietnam. The last time Congress declared war was WW2.

AlmondsBruh

So true. It's been said a million times but time in the market really beats timing the market. I remember back in 2022 I sold half my portfolio because everyone was expecting WW3 cuz Russia invaded Ukraine and the US economy took a small hit for like 2 quarters. By the end of the Biden presidency the stock market was at ATH. I remember I also sold a portion of my stocks when Trump took office because of insanity then sold more when he accounced his global trade war. Just for him to TACO out on the same weekend and the stock market was at ATH at the end of April. I always thought that was some boomer ahh logic but honestly I would be way better off now just DCA investing.

Puzzleheaded-Image-4

For interest, regards should see what it took for Marines to clear islands in the Pacific in WW2. It was no pleasant for either side. Or is that neither side for the Marines?

Afraid_College8493

Everyone should keep an appropriate mix of stocks/bonds, then buy as the market falls. I did that in 2008-09 and it really paid off. Best not listen to the we're-on-the-verge-of-WW3 crowd. These are not serious investors or students of geopolitics.

OrdinaryPleasant2136

Alright who told 🥭 WW3 and tariffing our allies would win the peace prize

falken2023

More like the only thing to prevent WW3 is the 25th amendment.

schilleger0420

And they were doing that because in the 90's after a few meaningful years of peace some assholes (Hamas) began strapping bombs to themselves and started blowing up buses and pizzarias. Israel got attacked by three neighboring Countries literally a week after it was founded and by people vowing to drive them into the sea. If I was them I'd be leery about that shit to. As for the Palestinians their Arab brethren have been using them as pawns from the jump. Those people are caught between a rock and a hard place. Ya gotta remember... there never was a nation or place called Palestine. It was controlled by the Ottomans until the Brits took control. During WW2 a lot of Jews went there because historically it's where Israel was. The West felt bad for em because of the Holocaust, plus the locals were pissed at all these Jews showing up, there was a lot of secretarian bullshit going on... we tried to meet in the middle. This part of the land is Israel and this part is Trans-Jordan. Well... the Arabs in the region really didn't like that and instead of going the peaceful route of, "ok... we have Trans-Jordan" immediately attacked Israel. Israel has been getting attacked ever since. I highly doubt it's strictly the Palestinians behind it. Other Countries consider them useful as refugees. If they really cared they'd have repatriated them.

satellite779

British pound lost it's reserve currency status in 20-30 years (WW1 triggered the collapse).

An_Innocent_Coconut

The "first" World War is WW2. WW1 was called The Great War up until WW2 was going hard.

Hopsblues

WW1 was called The Great War, while it was happening...

HoneyDutch

Step 1: threaten to expose the Epstein Files to trigger possible WW3, then go long on everything war.

gta0012

Everyone is forgetting how illogical the market is. You think a defense stock would go down if the war ended and up if it kept going right? So naturally if the war is going to end you short the defense stocks and if it's going to continue you buy the stocks etc. We all know that logic doesn't apply. What would really happen is that you would buy $1000 in defense stocks hoping it would end the war. However, the war will turn into WW3 and defense stocks will make 53728 billion more dollars. Sounds great right? Clearly the stock will go up. But defense stocks will crash 30-40% because "it's already priced in" and "you're stupid for buying stocks during WW3" reddit will say. Shoulda bought Costco that is now trading at 5000% p/e despite closing half their stores due to lack of food, because they maybe in the future might start building tanks and the market loves forward looking shit.

Sweaty_Platypus69

UN Security Council weighs resolution on use of force in Strait of Hormuz.. Oh fuck.. that means WW3.. if you back Iran into the corner.. what makes you think they wont send swarms of drones towards the straights leaving your boats as sitting ducks? Which idiotic country proposed this shit again?

MechanicalDan1

Bull trap. POTUS said 5 days. That's to get the ships and Marines in place. He just said "Do it for Jesus" over Easter weekend. WW3 is officially a holy war.

TheWokenessInjector

Another negative dxy day and another gold thrashing. I need to remember for WW4 to short gold. 

captain_ahabb

Yeah and all it took was the largest government intervention in the economy since WW2...

MaxVerstudpen

Can't believe the next world war is WW4. WW3 was tame af.

phigene

My guy, the US is a war economy. Every single major war in the us has caused a bull market after the inital panic phase, and since WW1, the panic phase has been shorter and less dramatic with every consecutive war. It stands to reason that at this point, traders know the game and will not panic at all, especially since so much of our export and internal market is defense or defense adjacent. So betting that you can time a brief moment of panic in a historically bullish market event is not "fundamentals". And the presidents BS is not what fucked you. You fucked yourself by thinking war was bad for the US economy. Its literally what we do for a living.

torokunai

Iran does receive support from Russian and China. Probably not sufficient, but it's more than Japan got in WW2 from Germany.

Boromir-Wants-

Since WW2, yawn

ArbysRoastbeeff

He’s worried about ICE but my middle eastern friends say he just started WW3 who do I trust ?

ArbysRoastbeeff

Imagine buying oil puts while on brink of WW3

VileInventor

Well 1. Never gamble what you can’t afford to lose. 2. We are not technically at war. There’s a huge difference between all out war and planned strikes and missions. Which is why the US hasn’t technically been to official congress approved war since WW2.

Expert_Radish_4699

So we went from ‘priced in WW3 to maybe chill in one headline. Classic market.

When it seems we are at the cusp of WW3 on Friday always buy calls... How did yo regards didn't learn this

I wish someone made a compilation of all the delusional bear spam on WSB over the weekend. By Saturday we were in WW3 and by Sunday it was a total economic collapse on a global scale here in the comments. Bears have zero shame

So WW3 os bullish? 💉🚀

Rock_or_Rol

Yes! Those adjectives are a lot more precise. I’ve always expected it to correct, but not by that much that quickly in these circumstances. I do expect a recovery too We are living through history right now. World order since the WW2 and especially since the Berlin Wall fell is in an existential crisis. Price action on oil/metals are very rare. The shift of consumerism. Bipolar political realities that are respectively hardening I don’t know where it’ll end. I think the whole thing will get worse before it gets better, but it’s hard to see the forest instead of the trees sometimes.. especially with a giant nut in the way

#The last war America won was like WW2 LMAO🤌

shakibahm

Terrain is always the hardest part of occupation. Iran, specifically with their tunneling and deep military infra, is almost impossible. It will be harder than even Germany in WW2.

maldinisnesta

Heritage foundation, fascist executive. War breaking out everywhere. Friendly countries now enemies. Not helping Ukraine really feels like how the UK would act towards Hitler before WW2. Idk. You got a demented old man angry at the world with a white nationalist bat shit crazy organization behind him that are clearly the ones behind the more despicable shit. AI can and will just be a tool of them to use.

DailyDao

A ton of stuff from WW2 were worse than the nukes, but nukes get all the press because of possible future consequences.

Welcome to WW3. Please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times until the ride comes to a full and complete stop.

Abject_Wish_3787

I'm talking about buying stocks and not options tbh. It will go up by 2030 or at some point (if it's WW3, we will never even need the stock market)

Overall-Fold-9720

LMAO, NATO doesn't want anything to do with this shit, and Russia/China either We are not one last domino away from WW3, but one away from "US stuck in middle east for 10 years, part 3"

shitmybritchez

Just one last domino to fall and I think we can say WW3 is here, what’s the final domino?

Japan tried that loophole in WW2 with Pearl Harbor and it didn’t work.

calm_discussion_3500

Just because we can't print our way out doesn't mean we *won't* print our way out. Public consensus is extremely strongly pro deficits, no amount of deflation is considered acceptable. We're so polarized there is zero agreement to make any kind of compromise on taxes (or cuts) possible. The will and political capital to not print doesn't exist. Even if we wanted to stop, we're past the point of no return. Interest payments are already $1T+ and more than half of our WW2 level deficit of $2T.

jsie-iaiqhsi816278

just spent a couple of minutes on the Pearl Harbor wikipedia page. yeah were definitely going into WW3 SPY 1000 EOY

They invented war crimes after WW1 because it was so barbaric So we’ve regressed to WW1 level now

WW1 and WW @ you felt like hamburger pushed thru the press, since that's what you were.

_Doomer_Wojack_

Yep I agree. They have no idea how low the Iranian regime is willing to go. They will take the whole system down with it. Similar to WW2 Japanese regime. Iran is all about martyrdom.

"More is needed," he said. → If Europe joins, Russia and China will NOT stay neutral → NATO Article 5 risk = this becomes a world war → Netanyahu's legacy = the man who turned a Middle East war into WW3 ⚠️ OPTION 2: ESCALATE ALONE → Trump's 48-hour deadline to obliterate Iran's power plants expires TOMORROW → Iran has threatened to FULLY close Hormuz + hit ALL US energy facilities in the region → Full Hormuz closure = 20% of global crude oil GONE overnight → Oil price shock → energy crisis → global recession → Iran launched its 70th wave of attacks and the war is 22 days old. They are NOT backing down. ⚠️ OPTION 3: BACK DOWN → Trump already hinted at "winding down" on Friday — then reversed himself in 24 hours → A retreat now means Iran wins, keeps Hormuz blocked, keeps its nuclear program → Every Gulf state that stayed neutral watches the US fold → US credibility in the region = GONE → Israel's nuclear city just got struck with air defenses failing. Backing down now = defeat is public and permanent. Let that sink in. There is no Option 4. There is no clean exit. There is no "we win and go home."

He aint that delulu, since nuking another country (even Iran) would nuke the stock market and open doors for 3WW due to Russia taking Iran's side in this conflict.

Idk how it would be WW3. I don’t think any other countries are jumping in to defend Iran. ME infrastructure might get largely destroyed but I don’t see how the IRGC wouldn’t ultimately vanish.

Not really a WW.... just the US unilaterally destabilizing the global economy on a whim. No one wants to be involved in what the US is doing. But if Russia or China had done something like this, then the world would have risen to stop them.... But the EU cucks wouldn't dare question daddy USA.... so they can sit there and watch while our insane emperor plays games with the world economy lol

EnragedTea43

PEPFAR saved the lives of an estimated 25 million people across Africa. The Marshall Plan stopped mass famines from tearing through Europe after WW2. USAID distributed famine relief, set up water purification systems, delivered life saving medicine, and championed every humanitarian cause for the last 60 years. What “pittance” are you talking about? These programs, which are only a fraction of the stuff we’ve done, saved hundreds of millions of people. Do you think those people’s lives are worthless?

I’m going to be obsessed looking back on this period of American history (if we make it out of it) like 50-60 yr old dads now are with WW2.

It’s only a war crime when there is someone more powerful to prosecute you. If the Nazis or Japanese had won WW2, the allies would’ve been held accountable. Ie. Nukes or firebombing.
