  • lol some points from the article:

    Across five Western countries — US, Canada, UK, France and Germany — only Germans didn’t sweat the likelihood of imminent war. Just 25% of Germans were building bomb shelters, compared to the 40% who thought World War III was unlikely over the next five years.

    In the US, Canada, United Kingdom and France, the number of people predicting Armaggedon spiked since March.

    The sharpest jump was in the UK, where 43% believe a new world war is “likely” or “very likely” to break out — up from 30% in March.

    Canada respondents shockingly said it was the US that would trigger a war with the Great White North as the two North American neighbors have tussled over everything from trade to tarriffs.

    Politico surveyed more than 2,000 people in each country between Feb. 6 and 9.

    [Emphasis mine]

    So about 800 USians out of 330+ million. Zero hyperbole to found, factuality at 100%.

    E: underestimated scale.
