So Trump ordered strikes on Iran which killed one of their Generals.
Everyone on Twitter is saying that this is the beginning of WWIII which I know is an exaggeration but I'm really quite scared now
Is anyone able to provide any reassurance?:ohmy:

I’m afraid I feel terror waking up to this news this morning I guess we just pray Boris has some sense to defend us as a country right. Not sure how safe we are without EU support think we can forget the allies of Europe. However we are with the front runners of the Big Boys now with USA and Russia. So [emoji2368] I expect Boris and Trump to be having talks but Iran attack the UK equal to US as we saw with the tanker attack.
However I’m not too sure how legal American drone strike was and so I presume the UN will step in first again I hope they will for sake of the Western world but the Iranians are batshit crazy my ex was Iranian I’ve never been with a psychopath before and whilst with him I learnt what a sociopath was!! And that extended to members of his family too! Not saying alll Iranians are like but with my experience yer I don’t feel much hope of this issue going away quietly.
Just think Sociopaths with Nukes! We are ****ed!!!

I haven’t watched the news (it makes me anxious) so I don’t have a lot of info. All I can say is that the news exaggerates things. I remember how many people it predicted would die of swine flu in the UK-I think 100,000 was quoted. But it was nothing like that. I hate the way media plays on anxiety levels to sell papers, get viewers
etc x
I’m not saying what happened isn’t true but what will happen next will probably be blown out of proportion.
it is very worrying - so it’s totally normal to feel how you are feeling - but by worrying about it - it will not change anything.
if the world is going to end tomorrow - we may as well enjoy today x
What the HELL has Twitter got to do with reality? You might as well ask the opinion of people standing in the queue at Tesco.
And what reassurance do you expect here? How qualified do you think any of us are at predicting the possible outcome of imminent global destruction?!
Put your bloody phone down, go outside and look at some trees or something.
"World War 3" is apparently trending on ****ter so it's GOT to be true.....
I'm sure there will soon be more important things happening in Celeb-land which will kill interest in this "end of the world" fest.
Crumbs... I'd better start building a fallout shelter immediately!
I'm really scared. Please help me.
Here we go again....:wacko: The positive side is that those worrying about imaginary illnesses have something to distract them for a little while ;)
If you look back, Clinton did the same thing when he was facing impeachment.

Well - for what it's worth, me mam sent me this:
Quote:
Tweet from Hayes Brown was more eye-opening though, as he explained the more likely conclusion of the Baghdad attacks, saying:
tl;dr: this isn’t world war III!
It is, however, a thing that will:
– likely trigger more, not fewer, attacks on US personnel
– increase the tit-for-tat btwn US and Iran
– result in cyberattacks, attacks on oil lanes, etc
– push Iraq closer to Iran
– see blowback agains Israel
I see! You believe that war is imminent then!
civil war was before the great depression
and countless other wars
granted they weren't worldwide, but they were still times of conflict
I mean the time between World War I and the Great Depression!
No point in worrying about things you can't personally change until it does or doesn't happen,,, why add to your anxiety?

Well, I'm more convinced than ever that Threads will become a reality. Both involved Iran, what with the Soviets hoping to convert it into a satellite state.
Great! This is one of many reasons why I feared the new decade. I hope things will be fine eventually. :(
I think we have got to sit this one out and see how iran retaliate and see BoJo jump in on the action for his ultimate five minutes of fame.... two blondes and a bomb jokes ......
I don't think he'll do anything. He wasn't informed about this beforehand.
Support and reassurance aren't always the same thing, Edgeofpanic - unfortunately tea and sympathy only work up to a point.
To the original poster and other folks who are worried on this thread please have a look at this older subject:

I hope you find some reassuarance the responses by other forum members on that thread, this kind of thing has happened in the past and it unfortunately stirs up a lot of deep seated anxiety for people.
And rightly so!
The EU have little power when it comes to the military. They have power because of the members, basically us & France when it comes to Nuclear. I'm sure we will remain allies as long as we have similar goals. Why invade when you can sell to people? :yesyes:
Not sure what the UN will do other than talk? They don't seem to influence all the other wars going on around the world.
The US have been dropping bombs on people for a very long time. Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, Trump. Not too long ago we were told Trump's bluster would start a nuclear war with North Korea, a country that was at the time launching tests over foreign soil. But North Korea listen to what China say. Iran will listen to what Russia say. Unless it's a religious war it will come back to the usual influences.
I suppose if Boris wants a war he will need to create himself a dodgy dossier. :winks:
Ever played many a video game where the bogeyman is one of the worlds unpopular regimes? Russia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, whichever South American country the West aren't happy with right now, etc?
Look how convinced how Tomorrow's World was? So where is why hover car?
Of course as you posted earlier this means a higher alert status. Whether that means more to us on here than talking on TV is another matter. The big powers like to rattle their sabres to keep the smaller countries in check as we've seen in Syria for years. And we haven't even mentioned the many other events in history where it happened and still came to no major conflict.
Actually the forum isn't to endlessly dish out reassurance. It's really about getting people to a place where they don't need to keep seeking reassurance because of disproportionate worry and anxiety.
The forum is called 'no more panic' not 'keep feeding panic'. For a reason.

Well the good news is, you all have options:
1) You can have WWIII.
2) You can die slowly by climate change.
3) You can burn up like Australia and Southern California.
4) Or you all can wait a few years until I take over the world.
Any of the options...you're all screwed :D
Numbers 2 and 4 would be a relief in comparison.
The scenes shown are truly "Armageddon" in scope Snowy. The loss of life, human, animal, insect and plant is absolutely devastating. Makes you wonder why others aren't concerned about drought, fire and other natural and more likely disasters as opposed to a display of egos and someone pushing a button.
Positive thoughts
Yeah, the fires are horrendous. I'd just like to say, on behalf of Californians, we feel for you, Australia. We went through this last year. Wishing you strength and hugs :hugs:
