Stop WW3 before it starts, I'm on the spectrum and it scares me to my bones

Stop WW3 before it starts, I'm on the spectrum and it scares me to my bones

World War 3 and nuclear war in particular are becoming highly likely, especially because of the potentially unlawful actions of certain countries (such as when Russia invaded Ukraine, and what china is going to do with Taiwan by 2027), if a nuclear war or similar event breaks out, it will lead to a living hell, so it should be stopped before it starts

I have been suffering from severe anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and have become sick, all because of in the news (especially in the apps like Apple News and several uk tabloids and news sites) highly likely going to be world war 3/nuclear war, I have seen "Threads" (1984) which at the time was produced with the input of scientists, doctors, and other experts, if war must happen, the government should distribute euthanasia kits to everyone in the country, so that nobody need suffer the horror of a post-nuclear attack world

  • I just want to echo what the other users here are saying. 3 years ago when Russia first invaded Ukraine I believed all the scare stories in the news too, I was convinced that nuclear war was about to happen and I suffered extreme anxiety as a result. 
    But here's the thing, it didn't happen. Just like the previous generation was afraid of it in the 1980's and it didn't happen and the generation before them lived in fear in the 1960's with the Cuban Missile Crisis etc and once again it didn't happen. 
    No country that currently has the nuclear bomb would be stupid enough to use it because they know it would be used back against them and they would be causing their own destruction. The nuclear deterrent means exactly that, a deterrent. No side would use it because then it would be used against them. 

    I personally believe the events of the last few weeks have actually made the world a safer place. The rulers of Iran are dictators, opposed by many of their own people, and if they had developed a bomb they promised they would use it against Israel. The events of the last week means it is highly unlikely they will ever be able to develop a bomb, therefore making the world a much safer place. 
    Anytime rulers like that are prevented from getting nuclear weapons it is a good thing. 

    All the countries that currently have the bomb are, as I said, too sensible to use it

    I hope this allays your fears. I would also add that I know not everyone is a person of faith but for me personally, my faith is my greatest comfort when the news appears scary. I believe God has a plan for all of us and for this world and that knowledge makes me know that the state of the world is not on my shoulders. 

    Threads is a fictional movie btw, I wouldn't take it too seriously
