    Any war is so stupid. It’s a few “powerful” people fighting with egos that then rush their peoples’ loves over… And for what? “Peace”? Smh

  2. It’s so sad the world is changing. And what is it for? At least in the 30s it seductive ideologies manipulating economic angst…. but all this nonsense seems to be about padding the wealth and egos a group of oligarchs. A community so small you could probably fit them all in the same prison.

  3. As an American, thank God the UK is standing up for freedom and democracy since the US govt has been compromised

  4. People on their death beds are leading the world and leading it to war over greed and delusions…
    So we are basically back into the feudal times

  5. Weird.. GOP refuses to stand up to Russia and china and now everyone has to rapidly prepare for war…

    Its almost like this whole MAGA thing was one big scam that just made everyone more unsafe.

  6. The US is going to go to war with Venezuela so they can get all that nice heavy oil…. Drugs hahaha yeah sure that’s the reason hahahaha

  7. “Prepare to fast-forward! Preparing to fast-forward! Fast-forward! Fast-forwarding, sir!”

    And the classic… “What are you preparing? You’re always preparing! Just go!”

  8. they needed the AI bubble to hide the depression.

    now they need a war to hide the AI bubble popping.

    Without the US protecting Europe militarily, the chances of war against Russia are very big.

  10. It seems all of Europe is gearing up for war.

    With the initial tepid response to Ukraine followed by this public urgency, it seems like the leaders in the EU and UK know something we don’t.

  11. People never change, no matter the technical advancements. We like to mock, stomp and crush our neighbors just so that we get to be a little bit at the top of the food chain.
    The sad truth is that no matter who will come to power, history will repeat itself, due to the human nature.
    I have no more faith in humanity.

  12. The world is more interconnected with internet cables we rely upon and food imports we can’t survive without.

    World War on this scale disrupting all of that would cause upheavals and starvation beyond our ability to comprehend.

    Plus our current Government couldn’t lead the country to break out of a bag of crisps let alone lead the country in large scale war.

    Last week I started to hear this rhetoric and have made myself a go bag. I was hoping I was overreacting and now I read this, which is definitely an escalation from what I was seeing last week.

  14. Developing plans to prepare for war.

    Man, I don’t know what to say. You’re supposed to be prepared, not developing plans to prepare. 😀

  15. Prepare for war with the US is my prediction. That’ll put Australia in a really shitty position.

  16. The public isn’t going to buy into any kind of war. Millennials and Gen Z hate this kind of thing. What does the UK know that we don’t?

  17. “Developing plans to prepare”… we’re starting to think about thinking about thinking about it.

  18. Are their pockets so empty that they need to start another war. It’s so obviously a ruse as there is possibly more threat from China but that’s just too much effort going that far when we can just have a war in Europe again.

  19. I did suspect this is what the world felt like in the 1930s.  It’s coming, am sure of it but I wish I wasn’t.

  20. War with whom???

    On the one hand, I am pro-defense, as national security comes first. Values and culture must be defended.

    But at the same time, it seems to me the enemy we are given is idk…what about enemies like corrupt politicians, the sup rich who meddle into politics, big corpos that push their agenda, the falling healthcare, the rising inflation, unaffordable hosuing market…..

    DOnt get me wrong, arming , real arming with real equiment is necessary, yet perhaps we also need to look inwards, maybe there is smt rotten inside as well?

    The stronger the countru with its economy , societal cohesiveness, harmony within – the stronger it is overall ….but seems priorities have been scattered….time to streighten that up!

  21. Putins plan coming together.

    Get the US to back down from Europe and embroil itself in wars in its region (the Americas) while he’s free to start punching at Europe.

    The EU and UK would be reckless to NOT start preparing.

  22. Id be surprised if it actually came to war, but no one in the UK is fighting for our country. The young people in this country aren’t going to die when they’ve been fucked their entire lives. 

  23. All because Trump is a weak pedo who is being ridden bareback by Putin.

    Sort your shit our America

  24. Correlates that well known billionaires have been preparing luxury bunkers for a  long time now
