I’ll bet my entire 401k there will NOT be WWIII over this.

Just think. A few blown up roads to entrap Russian tanks. Flood the fields so they won’t escape. Sitting ducks.

If Cyberattacks start between world powers or if China starts sinking ships around Taiwan strait, will you still take that bet?

That is risky with this one. Just wanted to document that I answered.

Your 401k is kind of being bet on this.
It won’t be worth much if that happens .
I think we all lose sight of the thousands of nuclear weapons that nations have. We all think they wouldn’t be used
Probably right. But anything could happen.

I recall talk of ww3 when CHIMP illegally invaded Iraq looking to invest trillions of bucks looking for weapons that didn’t exist. At least Putin is poking his nose in a country bordering his owb, not thousands of miles away

What’s anyone gonna do with the winnings if it did break out? Walmart probably won’t have regular business hours to spend it there.

The ways WW3 could happen:
NATO member’s personnel get themselves killed in the fog of war - one member is attacked all gotta join in for the retaliation.

Or - Some guy somewhere in the command structure decides to push a button. Once one missile hits, it use it or loose it time.

Or - In the heat and confusion of war, a mistake is made. It’s not as if there’s no precedence to such things, as I just mentioned yesterday elsewhere.

Ideally, and with luck, things should be okay. But there are no guarantees. And we got Biden at the helm to add to the mix.
