Supposedly the British RAF is on alert in Cyprus.

There's also unconfirmed reports of the U.S. moving missile cruisers around in the Mediterranean and aircraft in Eastern Iraq.

Watch "Threads" if you want to see what would happen to people during and after a nuclear war.

Okay, that fucking Tweet is one of the most retarded things I've ever seen a high level politician do. No doubt Hillary's reaction would be similar (Obama had a hard-on for helping the jihadist zealots beat Assad too), but she wouldn't fucking openly rattle sabres on a social media site.

The very thought of going to war over nothing when we have so fucking much of our shit to solve HERE in the US as is makes me sick to my stomach. Always has, always will.

Seriously, I hope nothing comes of this. I really fucking do - the idea that no one is doing something about this scares me; you guys may joke about this BS, but I know none of us would survive in a Fallout - type future, unless you're really good with weapons / fighting in general. So please, stop talking like this is some game to be won, thank you!

I, for one, will definitely be A-OK if all this results in is just Daily/Nightly News screaming matches between Trump & Putin + whomever else is involved and nothing else (that also includes no going anywhere near Syria - nothing's important there and it's best we leave the ME to just fuck itself up without us getting in their way. They can do bad all by themselves, since they don't have nukes to throw at anyone, anyway.).

We don't need this.

No one asked for this.

No one with their finger on the button, anyway. Fucking fools.

I don't understand why people think Mad Max bandits will show up out of nowhere after a crisis.
It'd suck, but I doubt a huge chunk of the population will put on spiked helmets and leather shoulder-pads.

Realistically, all Trump did was delay the inevitable- We'd probably be at war far sooner with Clinton given her whole attitude toward Russia.

It's only a matter of whether this will be it, of it's another false alarm. ()

 

[Overcast]

I really hope this all just blows over.

There's still so much I want to do.

 

[Robot Teapot]

Still on the subject of post-apocalypse films, I really recommend a film called The Survivalist. It was quite a small budget film with limited release so you might not have heard of it. Definitely recommend tracking it down.

If you want a mind fuck, try getting the Conservative propaganda reaction and then getting the liberal propaganda version. It's like 2 completely different worlds of bullshit.

Some would obviously go for suede...

Autistic because no one wants WWIII over some Middle Eastern shithole that's none of the U.S. business? Sure...very autistic indeed.

 

[Curt Sibling]

Oops! Looks like the corporate lizard masters have ordered another war!

 

[Benine Bovine]

Why are world leaders 9/10 completely exceptional induviduals who think proving their dick size is more important than not firebombing civilians


That being said I hope they are just not exceptional enough to cause nuclear Armageddon and that all parties gain some perspective and chill the fuck out. Knock on wood

If there is going to be WWIII, the middle East will just be a flimsy excuse for it to happen. Don't act like Syria is the direct cause, it'll be the tipping point if it even escalates to that.

But I think it'll be fine, a lot of shit has went on and it didn't escalate to full out war.

 

[LazloChalos]

Preppers must be feeling pretty smug right now, wonder if we will get news on these people killing potential "looters" before anything even begins.

Or many of them taking flight to their safe houses and return to their homes after nothing happens only to find it stripped of valuables.

Yeah, it'd be more like post-judgement day earth from The Terminator.

Since Detroit is a likely target...

This song and a big blunt of the strongest weed out there. As I look out in the distance with mushroom clouds going off, before the shockwave and heatblast reach me, I'll say to myself:

"For 25 years, it was a good run."

If you want a mind fuck, try getting the Conservative propaganda reaction and then getting the liberal propaganda version. It's like 2 completely different worlds of bullshit.

Because even in a time where we must unify to ensure the betterment of our entire existence as a species, they're too set in their ways to think their usual opposition is somehow either responsible or should be groveling at their feet begging for help.

I swear, these fucking people these days...

 

[TiggerNits]

The new Cold War is gonna be WAY more aggravating because people who don't know shit about geopolitical posturing or defense capabilities are just going to endlessly prattle on social media about it to no fucking end

 

[Sissy Galvez]

I want the opportunity to vote for a president that will have nothing to do with Middle East policy and let Israel fend for themselves. Just let them kill each other and stay the fuck out of it.

Don't act like Syria is the direct cause, it'll be the tipping point if it even escalates to that.
