Resolves if, before 2025, it becomes general consensus that a third world war has begun. "World War 3" or "The Third World War" has to be the common popular term people are using to refer to it, especially e.g. world leaders, wikipedia page, etc. And it can't just be like, a one-off article in VOX or something, it has to be a pretty universal sentiment. #War #Politics

Well, I have a rock with the words “WWIII IS NOT STARTING ” on it...

predicts YES

@Forrest Has it been right before?

predicts NO

Indeed - in my experience, WWIII frequently doesn't start. Probably that's why someone wrote a rock about it.

Starting to feel increasingly foolish telling myself we're not in the prelude to WW3...

U.S. official says Russian missiles hit Poland, killing two people!

predicts YES

@Simon805b Fuck this shit, it was Ukrain who launched the missiles

If WW3 happens before 2025, then my M$ are meaningless. Therefore, the only profitable bet is "No".

@brp Why would that be the case? The idea that WWIII would be a huge nuclear holocaust is overblown. As we can see in Ukraine already, nuclear bombs are so ridiculously powerful that they are useless as weapons of war. Every time the US sends more advanced tanks and missiles, Putin rants and raves about blowing up the world, but realizes that all his nukes are completely useless.

Even if Biden or Putin were to give the order to destroy the world, I don't believe that the frontline solder would press the button. I even wonder if they would retaliate, because there would be no point in doing so.

There would certainly be enormous destruction and loss of life, but WWIII would look exactly like Ukraine - a regression to WWI, with remote drones, missile strikes, and AI robot warriors, with static frontlines heavily favoring the defender.
