WW

WuTangWizard

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.

RobotPimpLibertyBell

Why was Benecio ready for WW3? Just way too weird and preachy.

Parking-Strategy-905

Too obvious? You think the writers for this season of life wouldn't go that route? Maybe we do need WW3 to cull the people who live in fantasyland.

I'd just be fine with WW3 killing one person in particular: me

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONING

bulls be like: "stupid ber hoping WW3 kills millions of people" and like at this point yeah. I pretty much am. I'm addicted to buying puts and I don't know how to stop

ok good. expand the war to include all these countries aka WW3.. good

MrNewking

Can we delay WW3 by about 15 months? There's this game I REALLY want to play..

Dubai airport was hit by a drone and is on fire and people act like there is no WW3 on the line? Yall are falling for trumps fake pump headlines… You guys don’t learn

UsernameTaken_123

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.

The good news is if WW3 breaks out at least we can talk to chat bots and generate funny pet videos. 🤘🏼

What if WW3 isn’t nukes but destroying oil/energy infra Goddamm i’m smart cat

These dudes want WW3 to break out just so they can make $500 on their puts it’s unhinged bro

The US isn't running escorts because they aren't prepared or ready, they simply lack the ability.\ Their Navy procurement managed to fuck up 3 ship designs in a row, the LCS, the Zumwalt and now the Constellation. There hasn't been a ship designed in the US since the early 80's, the Arleigh Burkes. Now, they are good ships, but old and unable to be upgraded further. Not enough hull space nor power generation. The problem is that it isn't WW2 anymore, or even the 80's. Navy ships rely on overlapping AA bubbles and the ability to maneuver to stop/avoid incoming attacks, that's why the Navy has stayed out of range. The strait is only 21 miles wide at the choke, with the safely navigable channel for deep draft vessels being 2 miles, although that is with a big security margin. So, there's no room for several destroyers, at least not enough to get a decent overlap. The mountain range starts only 30 miles inland, so it's not as easy as securing the shoreline. The short range to the mountains means the Burkes radar won't pick up any drones or cruise missiles coming in low. This will probably mean that the escorts will need to be constantly at GQ, and probably weapons on auto. If they have to do that, air support goes out the window. There's so much EW going on in the area that the risk for friendly fire would be unacceptable. Besides, the US Navy only has 74 of them. And like all military units they are meant to be on rotation of 1/3 at sea, 1/3 for refit/resupply crew rotation and 1/3 in drydock for heavy maintenance. The problem is that the Navy has run an insane OP tempo, and every single ship is way, way overdue for maintenance. And then something that few consider. Missiles are fired from a VLS cells. A cell can contain a tomahawk, or a various amount of AA missiles, with the smallest being 4 to 1 cell. The Burkes has 96 VLS cells, the Ticonderogas has 126. But they can't reload at sea, the cells are between 5.3m to 7.7m, need cranes. In other words, the ships will be hideously vulnerable to oversaturation. They can track up to a 100 targets or so, but they can only illuminate 3 at a time for the older missiles. The newest SM6/SM2 can aquire targets on their own, kinda, so perhaps 12 targets at once can be engaged. So, if 40 drones, 10 speedboats, 5 USV and a couple of ballistic missiles show up... See the problem?

Over-Computer-6464

Large scale conflicts are typically when the largest disruptions and destruction of capital occurs. Since the Civil War the US has been largely spared, but for many other countries, including most of Europe, WW1 and WW2 destroyed not only many lives but also infrastructure and brought great economic hardship.

killainvest

I don’t go outside…..that’s where WW2 was.

That will start WW3 officially.

VegaGT-VZ

We are still operating off the emotional high of WW2 It's crazy how many times we've made the same exact mistake since

el-art-seam

Yes you can. See it from their pov. Iran says only their shipments can pass? The strait is open. Period. Anything less is FAKE NEWS. Simply walking away will help drop oil prices in the beginning. No more threat of WW3. 20 million bpd through the strait, 2 million is Iranian oil. We “temporarily” drop Iranian oil sanctions. That lowers oil prices and Iran is going to ramp up oil production. We’re left with a deficit of 18 mil bpd. So “temporarily” allow Russia to sell on the open market- they’re good for 200 million barrels a month. That lowers oil. Saudi Arabia has pipelines that reroute oil away from that. GCC will follow suit. That will increase over time. And Trump can sell it to his base. Problem solved. Any loose ends can be blamed on the democrats or other countries. Most of us will be happy to simply have lower gas prices. I’m not saying it’s logical but look at their past behavior.

Keyinthehole

Hello WW3

daners101

I’m literally betting that the USA will pull out of what people are saying is the start of WW3. And I’m saying they will do so within 2 weeks. By all standard metrics. This is a regarded bet to make. But ill do a month 😂 A week if you are squeamish haha

WW3 ?

Even_Serve7918

Yea whenever I point out that people always use the greatest 80-year boom the modern world has ever seen as their annual percentage rate to the predict the future, and that it’s extremely likely it will NOT be like that going forward, people freak out at me. Like people have their stupid little retirement calculators that plug in the annualized rate over the last 60-80 years as the definite growth for the next 30 years, like it’s set in stone. No, it’s absolutely not. We are absolutely returning to mean, because we aren’t a highly-unified, middle-class-friendly economy competing against a bunch of bombed-out husks post-WW2. Many economists will openly state the economy and the market haven’t actually grown since 2008. It’s all inflation and bubble.

So now they have nukes again? Starting WW3 for oil.

Thank you for WW3 and distracting us from Epstein. We are eternally grateful for your world leadership.

Gom_KBull

I hope in the history books they write down that he decided to kick off WW3 by attacking Iran because "he had a dream one night telling him that Iran will attack first, so he should attack Iran first instead."^(1) and then he woke up on February 28 1. *This was more or less his reasoning when asked about it.*

Altruistic_Finger669

WW3 is here. That is Chinas oil supply.

hagenissen999

Defeating the opponent and making the political change that you started the war for? Which hasn't happened since WW2.

If they invaded Brazil that would unironically be WW3 Brazil is not a game you can play with force More of a CIA game 

Sufficient-Matter-42

Fun fact. The highest draft age in WW2 was 35.

Rich-Badger-7601

I think the real takeaway here for both Iran as well as any other nation still waiting to be invaded by the USA is that the ONLY viable path to sovereignty is having your own nukes, full stop Iran is simply too big a country with too many people for anything the USA does to meaningfully change anything, I mean this is what the third? Fourth? Time in a row the USA has forcibly deposed the ruler of Iran since WW2? You really think *this time* that's going to instil a deep seated love of western values in the Iranian people?

OkResponsibility2470

I didn’t miss the point. Your analogy just sucks. The Allies didn’t win WW2 with airstrikes and good headlines they won by invading Europe and taking Berlin.

OkResponsibility2470

Comparing airstrikes to winning WW2 is braindead. The Allies didn’t win by farming headlines; they won by crushing Germany with total war and boots on the ground

I am just grateful that US has such a peace loving guy running the show. Now imagine if someone normal was running things instead, it would have been WW5 already

slowmuney

And so the WW3 begins ....

Criticall16

The purpose of a nuke is not to fire it but to keep it for deterrence. Contrary to what media might have you believe, the regime in Iran isn’t stupid enough to start a WW3. If they ever end up making a nuke, they will first do tests to show the world. Then sign some kind of agreement to assure deterrence making sure that Israel and US don’t attack them like this

Spare-Dingo-531

> post-WW2 peacetime, rules-based trading and economic order that has largely placed the U.S at the centre of the western world’s economic order. US military power is foundational to the US having the world reserve currency. If the US had no navy, some other country would simply build their own navy and enforce their own rules on the world. US dollars are essentially just IOUs the government issues. But if the government cannot enforce its promises, then the currency is worth less.

Me-Regarded

I'm betting the risk is to the upside myself. The whole world needs this oil, multiple countries are talking with Iran. Something will happen... And I feel we'd glass Iran if they keep this up for too long. I'm probably wrong, see username. But this is how I'm positioning into the weekend. I mean, if WW3 hits it doesn't matter anyway, it's all over

perceptive_AI

WW3 is when China brings out their secret extraterrestrial alien tech.

Careful_Response4694

The military has very strong research because it has more money. But its grant apparatus is almost identical to research grants, partly because they were both developed during WW2/post-WW2.

yyn1999

Bro this guy is dragging us right into WW3 after telling Zelensky he is dragging us into it

NYGiants181

I know it sucks. My aunts first serious boyfriend died 2 weeks after landing in Vietnam. Shot in the head. My grandpa rarely spoke after WW2. My dad still has PTSD from hearing gun shots in the distance in Korea. It's all fucked. And for what?

VerdantPathfinder

They have no more intention of fighting the US in a conventional WW2-style fight than Iraq did. We went into Iraq with 10x the number of troops we needed and their forces just took their weapons and melted into the population. Iran knows they can't win a fight like that. They've been preparing for this for 45 years and they aren't stupid. This is asynchronous warfare and it'll end when they say it ends. Their military is not needed for that other than as special forces, guerrilla fighting, logistics, etc. I can't believe how widely this stupid idea permeates the right. You don't get it. The only way the US gets to unilaterally end this is by killing every Iranian. ALL OF THEM. Because as much as they hated us before, we turned potential allies into moderates and moderates into extremists. It'll be 100 years before everyone in that country doesn't hate us and want to hurt us. And if you think they can't, you have less of a clue than the people who started this war.

greg_r_

Ok holding, and praying for WW3 to start this weekend.

Buls asking what's the news as if some pedo isn't trying to start WW3

2QuarterDollar

Just call it WW3 already

TenzoOznet

But the U.S. should not have unilateral “control” over the world’s oceans.  Also, the value of the U.S dollar is not backed by “military might” but by the post-WW2 peacetime, rules-based trading and economic order that has largely placed the U.S at the centre of the western world’s economic order. The U.S. hasn’t achieved its economic success at the barrel of a gun. That’s the Trump perspective, and it’s dead wrong. Anyway, if the U.S. and western world in general want to deal with Iran and its leverage over the strait long term, the best strategy would be to reduce reliance on fossil fuels so that Iran will never have this kind of advantage again, and a closure of the strait would be an annoyance more than a major threat. We could sufficiently decarbonize the economy to get to this point with a few years, but Trump is doing everything he can to drag the country in the opposite direction.

Hellcat081901

Same thing was said in 2022. That Russia couldn’t afford a lengthy war/Ukraine stood no chance. The gap between Iran and the U.S. is arguably lower than Ukraine and Russia as Iran is borderline uninvadable. Iran has no motivations so give up because they have no assurances the U.S. won’t restock and come back next year. They have every motivation to punish the U.S. and continue the war. Israel is psychopathic and wants this war to continue. The U.S. doesn’t have much ability to pull back now as it will only allow Iran to inflict even greater pain. So please explain to me how this was is supposed to end “quick.” This is the most powerful foe the U.S. has faced since WW2

SomePolack

6 French troops injured in drone attack in Iraq US A-10 warthog bombed Iraqi PMF base (technically part of Iraqi army)  Feeling a bit like WW3 out here 

440tuned

In an effort to improve this quarter why don't we try not to destroy our alliances, trade agreements and economy? Next, let's try to not deport everyone working hard and making the country better. Then we can try to not start WW3 based on a misunderstanding of an ancient religious text in an effort to bring about the apocalypse. Attention to these matters could help to create a more reliable foundation for business and investment. Then we can discuss this little issue of the Epstein files and move personnel around accordingly.

Synergiex

I agree but at the expense of what? Risking total world financial collapse, thousands of american soldier losses, making our image even worse than ever even for our allies, trillions of loss in assets and weapons. Just because israel wanted us to do so? Keep in mind, nuclear weapons can be good, if they are used as a deterrence. That’s why there hasnt been a WW3 for centuries now. Because they all know if one of the nuclear powers gets cornered, they wont hesitate to use and then noone will win. Same balance in middle east would have been nice. If iran had nuclear, israel wouldnt be genociding palestinians, starting wars and attacking multiple sovereign middle eastern countries like a spoiled brat. And unlike israelis like to claim, iran wouldnt use it unless are really forced to. Because they would know israel and UsA would have a valid reason to totally erase them from the earth

Trump also said he would nuke Beijing if Xi invaded Taiwan in his first term. He never takes anything off the table. Hell, there's a timeline where escalating this to WW3 was always the plan.

owmysciatica

Imagine the “no new wars” guy putting us in a real possibility of WW3.

Synergiex

It is easy to start wars by attacking sovereign countries, kill their leaders, destroy their infrastructure and military; but doesnt mean it will be that easy to end. Trump better start calling russia, turkiye and others to find a deal to end this without embarrassing ourselves or putting boots on the ground. Even then you will risk WW3… this war was not planned well from the get go, was it?

SnooMacarons4225

Using a tactical nuke would set off WW3. USA will need taking down by being out of control and having and using nukes unnecessarily and not allowing anyone else to have them. It would be a green light for Russia to do the same in Ukraine and theres nothing stopping Russia passing Iran a nuke as their ally to allow them to respond in kind to the US as they can claim they have enriched uranium and make it themselves... Their nuke would probably hit Israel as they don't have the missiles to hit America and next thing you know you have multiple counties lobbing nukes in all directions

MuricanWisecrack

i kind of feel like very doomed when i look at the future. A) i studied CS, i worked as Freelancer for the last 7 years - they do not hire so much anymore and the easy money gets eaten away as the Toollayer does B) the Markets are fucked thanks to Mango C) who the fuck is making any money anywhere? How? with what business? we enter full AI-Driven Tech-feudalism. Fuck all your startups - they will be merely trainingdata for Big-Money Tech Conglomerates. Worst part about it? They do also not make any money with it but have huge burn. You were the best in doing some Javascript UI, learned that hard for the last 10 years, grinding 50 hour weeks? Fuck you, hoho, Claude/Codex/Gemini does 10x your work now hohoho And Donny decides to enter WW3 and send us into a fuckin energyshock and everything is going up in flames
