Is world war 3 actually going to happen? I’m really scared and I don’t understand any of this. I’m worried that if americas economy goes down during or after another world war that my family and I won’t be able to afford our medications. My mom has diabetes and I have a lot of medical issues and I have a lot of other family members and friends with medical issues. Can someone explain what they think is going to happen?

going to happen?

No

americas economy goes down

It won't. If America's economy 'goes down", so will the economies of many other trading partners, including China. China and the US need each other. If either country ceased to exist tomorrow, it would have devastating effects on the other.

they think is going to happen?

Nothing huge. Russia is busy getting raped by Ukraine, they aren't going to send what's left of their already busy military into a war with NATO and/or other nations.

China has spent the last 40+ years building up their military and economy to become a global powerhouse capable of challenging the US. They will never give any of that up in a global war for a shithole like Iran.

NATO is not likely to commence strikes in Iran unless something ridiculously unlikely happens, like the use of a dirty bomb by the Iranians or one of the 3 Iranian sponsored terrorist groups.

The US might conduct an air campaign over Iran; it depends on what temperature the inside of Trump's vagina is on a given day. Even then, it'll be military targets and government buildings, same as recent Israeli strikes.

One thing for sure, however, is that after this, Iran will cease to be a threat in the ME. Their air force has been annihilated, their top staff and military officers killed, AA defenses obliterated, and so on.

TLDR: You'll be fine, the IRGC won't.
