    Ideally, when your country’s on the brink of war, you don’t want a reality TV game show host hyping it like: “Will we bomb them? Will we not? Tune in for the next episode of “Who Wants to Start World War III?”

    it is *so* not the point as we stare down the barrel of what could very easily devolve into World War III but the F1 Bahrain GP in a month is going to look like the racing game SPLIT/SECOND (2010)

    I shouldn't have to say this but this war with Iran is extremely unlikely to cause World War III if for no other reason than it would require literally any other great power in the world to put skin in the game and so far they've all been whistling nonchalantly and looking in the other direction.

    Trump tried to start World War III just to boost his ratings He wanted to bomb Iran like it’s a video game. No plan, no strategy, just explosions and chaos to look tough!! How many lives is his ego worth? This wasnt defense. It was a tantrum with missiles. This man should never be near power again.
