    I did not have Trump commandeering Gaza, kicking out all the Palestinians straight up demanding ethnic cleansing, and then proposing a property development to turn it into a ‘middle eastern riviera’ on my Trump bingo card. I don’t know how my mental health is gonna survive the next four years. I think I need to switch off the news. If ww3 breaks out can someone let me know, so I can go out and stock up on toilet paper. Ta.

          Nope. Forewarned is forearmed. Just be a bit cynical about the current reportage, and consider its sources and the interests its serving. That really helps.

      Can do. WW3 is not going to happen for some months imo. And when it does it will be in the northern hemisphere. Probably centered on Greenland. Toilet paper supplies should be fine for now.

      In fact, Oz might just have lucked out AGAIN. China’s demand for iron/steel will probably drop to zero soon, but re-building Ukraine will pick up the slack and we’ll just sail through the next cataclysm pretty much untouched. All this is subject to further information coming to hand of course. I would worry if I was male and of military draft age. Particularly if potatohead comes to power, cos I don’t think he can resist the temptation to play little tin soldiers.

      It’s just words. Unless it’s in that Project book he won’t have any support.
