World War III Conspiracies

By: Jenika Finch

When going into a new year, you hope for the best. For not only yourself, but for everyone around you. At the end of 2019 things were different. If you haven't heard, there have been many WWIII conspiracies going on. Due to the actions of our president, many people believe that 2020 is going to be the year of a new war. There are not only many reasons to back this conspiracy, but there are also many reasons to go against the conspiracy.

War is something that many people fear and is something that nobody wants to happen, but there have been many jokes about WWIII happening on Tik Tok. Many people on the app have been making jokes about how they are ready to go to war and fight. For example, boys will dress up as girls for the video and act like they are pregnant or have a disability to make sure that they won’t be drafted. Even though many of the videos are funny, some people may take this whole joke about a new world war seriously. Even some people in the military who have the app and have seen these videos have come back with their own comments about how more than half of the people making jokes about being drafted don’t even have a chance because of “weight”,

“not being mentally ready”, or not being “trained” to go to war.

Some of the reasons why people really think that this world war is going to happen is because of the actions and words of President Trump. A big part of this is him “drafting” people and sending people over to “destroy” them. Another reason why many people think this will happen is because of the impeachment process of Trump, people think since he may be getting impeached that he doesn’t care anymore so that he doesn’t care if our country goes down. Some of the reasons why this war can’t happen is because of the qualifications of a world war. The USA and Iran have been at “war” for so long, but it hasn't actually been declared war, but in reality that's what this really is between the two countries. So since this hasn’t actually been declared war, and since it is only between the US and Iran, that is only two countries involved. Since a world war is between many different countries and allies, this couldn’t be called a world war unless allies from each country get involved.

In reality, there are both reasons that this could or couldn’t turn into a world war. It’s something that we all really hope won't happen, since it could bring our country to a low. But time brings what it brings, and if it does happen, then maybe all of these conspiracies were not made up for no reason and people really believed, but since there are many more reasons for this world war really not happening, is really for the best. Even though many people take this as a joke and many of the videos are funny, many people don’t think about the damage a world war could do to our country, or any country that would get involved. So whatever this year brings, is meant to be, but I guess we'll just have to wait.
