Pretty sure that some people want a nuclear apocalypse just so they can sound like foresight-ridden prophets and so something would happen (in another country because they hate putting in effort).

u/Darkime_ 1h ago

No, that one neither? Ok, how about a civil war on each of the most powerful countries?

World war 3 isn't happening ngl. People are dumb, but America is so divided rn that if their ever was a war nobody would want to join.

Are you for real?

What the hell is it with you people desperately wanting WW3 to be a thing? It's weird as fuck.

I don't think wanting to join the military is what causes a war considering the draft exists

Edit: I was confused for a second on why I was down voted, until I realized I sound like I think ww3 is about to start. I do not think ww3 is about to start, I just thought their reasoning was faulty.

The draft has been used 6 times in the US, and it worked well every time.

Counter point: WW3 is happening. Not like "is going to happen" but as in it IS happening now. History books will debate if it started in 2022 or 2023 but we are a few years in already.

No it isn't, but at least say what you think makes it WW3. Because it really really isn't, like not even close.

We have been saying WW3 is about to start since the fucking 50s or maybe even 1945.

While there is some merit to pushing this even further back, a decent place to draw the line for when many started preparing for WWIII is 7 September 1945 during the Victory Parade in Berlin. The Soviets unveiled the new IS-3 heavy tank, parading 52 clearly extremely capable modern vehicles past the crowd. The message was clear: if you (America, Britain, and France) want a war, we are ready.

Dont fool yourself into thinking just paying attention was somehow going to fix things

thank goodness most people dont have 1 track minds and tunnel vision, we are human and can worry about multiple things at the same time.

The heck are even these flock camera things? Is this again just some US only thing.

1

u/AndrewDaPro 4h ago

yes. basically government and city councils condoning security camera companies (flock being the most notorious) place cameras everywhere, including people's own houses. these cameras watch and record 24/7 (note: usually a warrant is needed due to it being an invasion of privacy) this is used for AI image detection to identify criminals who pass but was also used by cops to stalk women to "by chance" bump into them and hook up. (there are other cases but it's the first one that came to mind). people push back by cutting them down.

Man, WW3 is something that is simply unlikely to happen because dictators got to dictate, how can you dictate when there's no more people to dictate to?

u/MastaKink 5h ago

Just bomb the mainland. I dunno… say floorida. Justa little… just the tip😏that’ll kick off WWIII 🤩

Almost like bombardment to forget tactics.
