Thousands of children and innocent civilians are killed by a fascist, genocidal government, and a jihadi group.
Won’t someone think of the shareholders
They’re terrible, but tend not to align particularly well with my personal definition of choice - Umberto Eco’s 14 signs of ur fascism.
You may be dying in agony of radiation poisoning - but as long as your portfolio holds its value, it’s all worthwhile!

I thought this had to be one the of the parody news sites for sure. WTF.
Death, it means death. That’s it, there’s nothing else. As the quote goes, “I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones”
is it not the next ‘world war’ if it doesn’t include nukes? i don’t think the stupid war shit is quite there yet, but it’s happening.
I think a Middle East driven world war could have zero to very few nukes…
Europe driven? Kiss your butt goodbye.
you’re not the real ‘poem for your sprog’ person. i don’t exactly disagree with you, but i wonder why you chose that specific handle. you aren’t a poet. what are you doing?
You know. I get that this is a boring dystopia. But it makes sense for an economic magazine (one that has been around since the first two world wars) to talk about the economic aspects of a looming world war.
It even acknowledges in the article (more than once) that financial concerns are far down the priority list in such a case. But that as a financial publication, this is their purview so they’re focusing there.
There’s a bit in the article in the direction of “war introduces such radical levels of uncertainty that even past occurrences provide few lessons to learn from”. (Can’t get a direct quote… returned to article to be stopped by paywall) It goes on to say that this uncertainty is heightened because any future world war will involve nuclear powers.
I hope that knowledge of the level of uncertainty is enough to deter the spread of violence. But that hope may be as futile as hoping people would actually read the article
