WW3 incoming

These idiots will even brag about that too saying “Dow peaked during our time”. yeah dude because you started a WW3 and f’ed the whole world economy 50 years ago

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.

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."

LMAO. Useful in WW1? Getting out of a trench to get shit immediately? Brother I think you've romanticized these wars.

Powerful_Quarter691

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.

TheMightySet69

The first sign that he was going to start WW3 was him saying that he wasn't going to start any wars. Never trust a pathological liar.

Feelin cute today, might vibecode a WW3 later 🥰

thetalentedmrbowser

It’s appropriate that WW3 should start in the most pathetic and avoidable way possible

Bluesquare9

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.

PalsRocksMyWorld

So…destroying desalination plants basically sets off WW3, yeah? Gulf states put boots on the ground and then it’s game over, right?

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?

FGoobs

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.

Worried_Quarter469

Yeah might be WW3 if they have to intervene to stabilize Iran

Anecdotal_Mantra

Iran is allowing ships through ONLY if they're buying and selling oil in China's Yuan currency. They're trying to and gaining headway in the usurpation of the petrodollar. This is probably going to lead towards WW3 if the US can't get its hands around this thing before financial devastation occurs.

TunaGamer

Why no EU country got mad at this shiet show ? Possible WW3 but they seem chill with it.

The last time US won a war was back in WW2, so it’s not unique for 🌮, he’s keeping up with the past

Americans haven't been willing to endure pain since WW2

1M-to-Zero

I think Iran war will cause all GCC investment in USA to dry up. Oil revenue —> Buy USD bonds in exchange for defence —> AI investment in USA —> Buy Oil circulation. Now war already started, GCC oil revenue dried up, they started to realize USA cannot provide defence to GCC at all. This is USD circulation since WW2 aftermath. GCC promises to sell oil in USD only in return for defence guarantees. Then GCC got all these USD they got to invest it elsewhere. They purchase USD bonds or invest in semiconductors like GF or AI. 200B is USA spending money for “national security” aka to protect USD supremacy. All these money are the world USD in circulation. Once the world feels that USD is not good anymore and not invest in USD bonds, USA has to work a lot harder than before to use the same money.

Probably the antichrist because it's WW3 and Armageddon and all of that, but they'll vote for him anyway because he'll have an "R" next to his name.

Its funny to read bear fantasies here every weekend By tonight we will be in confirmed WW3. Tomorrow a few hours before futures open it will escalate to WW3 + another COVID + Economic collapse. Then futes open +0.22% I been here a long time.

_Doomer_Wojack_

No he’s really chill, seems like an alright level. I don’t know him on a personal level but we definitely talk about what’s going on and he has family still there. And obviously he used to work in customs so he might have some government point of contact’s as well. He doesn’t seem too have any good thing to say about the Iranian regime but he and I also know the history of Iran. Democratically elected Mosaddegh disposed by a CIA coup and install a ruthless dictator that brought the 1979 Islamic revolution to be. Iran is Shia. They are religious, and practice the mindset of martyrdom. The IRGC seems to be in control, the new ayatollah might just be a puppet. The IRGC are religious fanatics that practice martyrdom. equivalent to the Japanese in WW2. They will take everyone down with them. Last man standing type of shit. They do not care about stock market, materialistic bullshit like 🥭 does. They don’t have that pressure at all and they know this

ourstupidearth

Well the other option is to vote for a communist terrorist fascist who murders puppies. Fox News said so. Sure the last 4 years have been rough with all the hyperinflation, and WW3, and the rampant cannibalism and the zombies and all of our property was taken and given to billionaires, but the demon-crats hate America! Plus that was all Bidens fault! The only way out is to scrap the constitution and give Trump a 4rd term.

stealthlysprockets

Nah he’s that dumb that he probably forgot WW2 stopped for the most part right before he was born

ErictheAgnostic

Your "noise" is a possible WW3.... That might be your first problem.

You say, as the US enters another middle eastern war after 20 years of middle eastern wars that have taken US debt to comparable levels to post WW2 debt.

Striking-Disaster719

Wait till Christmas and gas is still 8$, he’s lost the midterms and WW3 will really kick off!

Skylair13

It's such a stupid rebuttal as well. What they asked is why America doesn't tell it's allies about the attack on Iran. And Japan wasn't American ally during WW2. It's like doing Normandy landing on their own. Without telling the Brits, the French, and other allies.

M4roon

yeh I'm fkn done with this war. Prices and gas will go up for awhile. Unless WW3 starts, I'm ignoring this exercise in mutual stupidity.

And most of all we have the holder of Fifa peace prize as running the most powerful army in the world. Why is everyone so worried. I bet if it was someone who didnt hold a Fifa peace prize (biden lol) we would have been on WW5 already

Acceptable_Bed_6033

Good thing this isn’t a WW

torokunai

WW2 took longer than 3 weeks.

cannythecat

The pump is fake. People have tried this in military history. During WW1, after the russian revolution, the Bolsheviks were looking to settle down after they seized power but since Russia was still at war with Germany they had to find a way out of the war. Germany refused to agree to a ceasefire so Trotsky declared they were withdrawing from the war unilaterally without giving any concessions or signing a peace treaty. Germany's response was to attack even harder and it ended up with Russia being forced to sign an even more embarrassing and harsh treaty. You see what happens when one side declares the war is over without the other side agreeing?

SomePolack

Bruh we ain’t paying for shit in Iran to get rebuilt ever unless we lose like Germany did in WW2 and that ain’t happening 

CaskJeeves

Can literally start WW3 after promising to explicitly not do that, and then get to sit on the shitter all day posting AI videos Oh and he gets to take his positions before anything happens

itsnotshade

I was thinking TACO would land on week 2 after Iran started hitting other energy facilities and threatened to shut down the strait and the impact was being seen on markets/gas prices, but now I’m not so sure. He keeps contradicting himself. It’s over but there’s more to do. We need help from allies but are powerful enough to not need them. Iran is done but he won’t accept anything less than unconditional surrender. Most wars throughout history did not end that way though and go with a negotiated peace. WW2 was sort of an exception including being a total war for most participants. I think he is setting up objectives that escalate things with the expectation that Iran will just cave in completely but he gets shocked each step that they aren’t working the way he wants them to.

Fucking_For_Freedom

Don't you mean we'll have won more than Germany and Japan won in WW2? Considering how we've left the Pacific and Europe defenseless while cratering our own economy to achieve nothing in Iran if you think this will result in some glorious victory for us, well. 🤷‍♂️

WeirdSysAdmin

This is why having career politicians that understand diplomacy is important. Rather than a guy that thinks escalation chain is the answer since WW2.

I sold at the right time and made profit, nearing WW3 wasn’t on my compass at that time. Sorry gang

IsNotAnOstrich

The pound is a good point but I think the digital age makes it too different. The brits were the best at doing the same thing everyone else was doing. There were still other empires and other very strong currencies. The US has no modern peer in terms of military or dominance and basically runs the internet. China is the only other serious option, but if they're going to surpass the US, it's going to either be WW3 first or a slow drip over decades.

_Doomer_Wojack_

Pretty sure the IRGC has been preparing for this very moment for the past 40 years…it’s their dream really to go hand to hand combat with American soldiers kamikaze Japanese WW2 vibe Iranian Martyrdom . This is going to fucking nuts

Guy_PCS

The U.S. stock market didn't crash during WW2 and actually it was average 16% returns. Naive investors need to learn from History instead of social media. The user name gives away bias, which is a terrible way to invest.

Just wait until 4:00:00.001 today. At that time, Mango will decide reveal what his weekend moves will be. Tacos for all? WW3? Kill some troops, let others live? We will see... but the line will go up or down. No sideways stuff!

After WW3

Me-Regarded

Yeah, and every time I did, the next day was huge green and I made bank. How many Sunday nights was every ber calling for WW3 as I was buying and Monday was big green dong? I wish there was a tracking mechanism to let people make calls and track that. Think about it, we could then follow people that consistently were right. Anyway. Buy now ber, you had a week of fun

Substantial-Use-2867

You do realize the military needs to be paid to stay that big right? This isn't WW2 anymore where people were signing up out of commitment to the country. I know a decent amount of ex-military and I can tell you right now they pretty much all fall into 1 of 2 categories. Either they didn't have a better option out of high school, or they wanted to get in and out to qualify for college tuition assistance.

climb4fun

They don't want to start WW III. I think that's worth suffering the high price of oil caused by a sociopathic, idiot manchild starting a war to distract people from his pedophilia.

Globally a massive amount of assets went to zero in WW2. This is a very US based perspective and assumes we’d win WW3.

I mean true but unless this escalates into some WW3 doomsday scenario, oil is gonna rebound hard just like every other commodity that goes on a big 'macro tailwind' run.

PrthReddits

US is on track to surpass WW2 debt to GDP ratio in next few years easily All US fund managers are balls deep invested at ATH lol with little money to buy dips: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/VT68UeYQXR Stagflation is on the horizon (inflation is sticky and looks like it will continue like even disregarding the Iran war which is gonna accelerate it + we have job losses now in the official numbers, though anyone trying to get a new job in 2025 knew the economy was cooked already)... This means Fed cannot do QE very easily and even if they do you cannot really print your way out of Stagflation very easily, plus I doubt QE will be a magic bullet that stops mass layoffs and white collar offshoring in America and this whole K shaped economy that is teetering despite consumer spending being 70% of GDP BTW!!! Private credit and venture capital is in the shit hole being over leveraged to the balls on GPT wrapper dogshit startups OR on SaaS that is being rerated lower from 48493944x PE ratio (see like Atlassian stock, Figma stock, Asana stock, basically any fucking SaaS stock even MSFT or NOW which are blue chip SaaS lol)... (look at $KKR or $APO stock and all of YC's and 16z's and etc.'s investments) Circular financing deals and debt that must see a return eventually for AI bubble spending, I'm talking both the AI labs and all the infrastructure providers (if this debt has to be paid back, stocks that were at ATH will be sold to do so btw)... You can't use ChatGPT or Claude forever while burning tens of billions of $$$ annually... Uber and Spotify and all these unicorns did it for years, but the magnitude of their capex burn into an oven to do so was nothing compared to OpenAI and Anthropic.... Mango is in office, non zero chance bro gets a stroke randomly in next 4y or like does other regarded shit to fk the economy over more and accelerate all of above said reasons Tell me what is bullish? Like genuinely idk The only thing i can think of is stocks are not as overpriced as in 1928 or 1999... Otherwise I don't know legit

NotForMeClive7787

Under biden it never felt like there'd be WW3.... Russia was always going to be a proxy war due to nukes. The middle east now under trumps bonfire actions is markedly closer to this reality....

Fkn1v1mem8

-4.6% because of WW3 seems strong

x7_omega

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.

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.
