    So that world war 3 seems to be coming ever closer, are you prepared for the fallout?

    Will you be signing up for the military or do you have a bunker or somewhere?

    Honestly really thought this was unlikely to happen, but with trumps seeming lack of intellect it looks like it will happen.

    Is it actually imminent, I wouldn't have thought so... just a bit to tense for my liking.

    It's very likely. Trump is erratic and playing at being President. The military as an extension of an unstable ego is serious bad news. Put that with the lunatic in North Korea and Putin looking to pick off easy targets and it could get very messy.

    If there was war, the US and Russia would probably be the main players in it...

    WW3 won't happen, the powers that be know that there's too much profit to be lost in an all out schomozle, proxy wars and brinksmanship is where it's at.

    The OP seems to have mistaken North Korea for Russia. Not sure how that's possible, there actually is quite a big difference.

    Bring it on. I'm sick of working. The Mad Max Fury Road lifestyle looks like a bit of craic.

    Trump isn't a cause, hes a result. He didn't appear out of the thin air, he was voted in by people who are happy enough, to one extent or the other, with his ideas. Not necessarily all of them of course.

    Same with brexit.

    Same with le pen doing well in polls. If she loses the French election, you think all that pent-up frustration in france is gonna go away? Nah, it'll be the next election. Its all heading one direction now. What can you do?! think of the average eejit that you know, and then realise that half the planet are even more of an eejit!

    These people are a result.

    So, that said, I reckon theres a major conflict on the way, sure. Trump, le pen etc could be jettisoned to the moon....but that doesn't remove the reason why they came to be.

    Simplest reduction possible? People are unhappy. Doesn't matter where you stand....liberal, right, conservative, muslim, Christian....no-ones happy anymore with the future in front of them. Someones gonna get a slap, and then there'll be three-stooges style slapping all round.

    Will the internet still work? Will I ever be able to watch porn again? Will the football be called off? So many questions

    Not really, if they have nuclear capability and nothing to lose they just merely need to launch what they have and this will be aimed at south korea. Also china is an ally of north korea and have quite a powerful war unit along with russia kicking in for the fun of it and you have the new axis.

    I agree world war 3 wont happen but the US will bomb North Korea very soon.
    And I expect china to send in ground forces as soon as that happens, china and the US working together but not admitting it.
    I just hope the attack is planned meticulously.

    Nows the time to stock up on sporks, you'll make millions selling to the mutated class.

    Millions of what, however, is the question.

    I'm with Gatling on this. Not in his lifetime..


    He's been looking a bit peaky lately, but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

    Was World War I called that when it was actually happening? What about World War 2?

    Maybe we won't know what World War 3 is like until it's over. Maybe these constant 'small wars' are what we will eventually look back on as the third great conflict of the modern era and the first of the 21st century.
