I have a much lesser ww3 vibe than when the Ukraine thing started. It hasn’t even crossed my mind but it keeps popping up everywhere. Perhaps I’m missing something crucial here.
Yep I’ve got anxiety and I honestly thought something awful would happen. For about 6 weeks I was taking a rucksack with clothing, food and wind up radio wherever i went.
For me, the crucial bit here is political ideology vs. religion. Russia invading Ukraine is purely political in my opinion, whereas the Israel/Iran conflict can’t really be separated from religion. Might be spitballing here, but religious fanatics might be more extremist (willing to escalate war to defend their beliefs) than political fanatics. I also think USA’s historical defense of Israel is in play here, whereas USA’s involvement with Ukraine hasn’t really been a thing.
Or friends. Nobody’s going to war over Iran. Suggesting this is WW3 is quite the stretch. America bombs places. It’s just what we do. Dropping bombs on poor brown countries is as American as apple pie, and it crosses the aisle.

It’s probably because Iran doesn’t have any nukes
