    I wake up every morning expecting to hear that World War III has started overnight.
    The big orange guy is making it so much about him and what he decides, or he (I)might or might not do that there's no chance it'll be called World War 3.

    Some sort of title incorporating the words Trump and Donald seems much more likely.

    A lot of war talk for a draft dodger. Guess he'll be okay if someone else is doing the fighting.

    I don't understand the ww3 chat. Who will be fighting who. Russia's full force can't take small Ukraine. Israel has free reign of the sky over Iran and Israel. China isn't interested in the middle east or Europe. Who is fighting against the G7.

    India and Pakistan will always have wee groans with each other

    I can see China invading Taiwan but the west won't get involved in that militarily

    I have a house in France and we are thinking of moving there Shortly.

    If there was WWW3, would I get called up by France? If I got called up by the UK would I have to come back to the UK?

    Was wondering what would happen!

    Doubt China will invade Taiwan either. It’s just far too difficult to do and would very likely fail.

    I find him extremely entertaining for one. I agree with his America first outlook and that the rest of the west has been taking advantage of the US taxpayer for too long. I like that he is anti-war and will do business with whoever, he doesn’t feel the need to be the world police. His stance on the border is spot on. He doesn’t speak like a politician and will say it as it is, he is anti-woke and protects women’s spaces and sports. The list could go on and on.
    Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism.

    Yeah you need boots on the ground for a war and that sea makes it too difficult. I can't see any boots on the ground battles coming up. Israel and Iran too far away. Maybe some minor proxy wars with our support, ww3 how and where?

    How old are you? I looked into this last year when it was being suggested that the UK might start conscripting folk and the consensus online seemed to be that it would be unlikely they'd call up anyone beyond their early 40s. I'm 40 so kind of straddle the top of that range.

    I think it was 41 for much of WW2, then it increased to 50-odd when they needed more people.

    Pretty sure the war in Ukraine is a war of middle aged men. Average age is over 35 I think.

    41 this year! Was gutted turning 40 but could turn out to be good!

    I just don’t know if they could force me to return if I was in France and had the correct visa etc. At the same time, not sure the French could force me to fight for them?

    Hopefully hypothetical of course, unbelievable that we even have to contemplate such things nowadays

    Relax, there won't be any need for callups etc, Hearts will have this covered.

    They'll raise an army from their legion of fans, then march them over to the war zone, they'll be victorious in everything they do and then they'll be back home victorious before you can say, Albert Kidd.

    Anyone good at flying a drone might get the call-up.

    Im surprised people are actually thinking about this. Who is it we'll be fighting against. Russia can't fight anyone else bar Ukraine. China isn't even at tension with NATO. All other nations have zero chances. NATO has 3.5 million soldiers how many of them need to die before they call up random 40 year olds.

    Think it’s just idle chit chat. There is no chance a NATO country will be attacked to that extent. The only danger we face is if NATO breaks up and we start fighting among ourselves.

    I think there is definitely more chance one of us dying in a car crash than a into NATO war. There is a lot to worry about in the world in the current economy, me getting called up isn't in my top 500

    Not much skill there, bud.

    Being able to find the massive, bowl-like, super-duper, 400,000 capacity Tynecastle stadium from the air is a bit different to finding micro-targets via drone.

    ICE took this man’s gardeners from his front yard. They left the lawnmower running, and left the gardeners’ truck standing open in the driveway, keys and cell phones thrown on the front seat.

    Neither the client nor the gardeners’ families know how to reach them.

    Tulsi Gabbard now saying Iran could produce Nuclear Weapons "within weeks" no real pure comedy

    Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons "within weeks", months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them.

    The US Director of National Intelligence said her March testimony - in which she said Iran had a stock of materials but was not building these weapons - had been taken out of context by "Dishonest Media"


    Her change of position came after Donald Trump said she was "wrong" and that intelligence showed Iran had a "tremendous amount of material" and could have a nuclear weapon "within months".

    Apparently Netanyahu has been using the same scare story since 1995. Did the west learn nothing from Iraq?

    This has nothing to do with Iran’s nuclear capability and everything to do with Isreal no longer willing to manage the constant attacks from Iran and their proxy’s.

    he does appear to repeat it quite often, i love the wee charts that both he and Trump use explaining to the masses

    I don’t believe them. They see how weak Iran is and are taking a chance in the hope the regime collapses. It’s a long shot but I think that’s what they are going for.
    The US getting involved would be a disaster. And the UK should stay well clear but let’s face it, we love a bit of war in the Middle East.

    All eyes on the opinion polls in the US now. If there's a swing in favour of the orange one now, then strap yourself in for more of what we've just seen.
