Is this the start of World War III? That's what people are worried about. Syria, Russia and Iran all condemned the U.S. missile strike on a Syrian military base. Russia has suspended the "deconfliction agreement," which prevents U.S. fighter jets from coming into conflict with Russian jets in the region. USA TODAY President Trump ordered a missile launch against Syria on Friday, in response to a [fake] chemical weapons attack.
And some are wondering (seriously and with memes) whether this is the start of World War III.
Poster's comment:
There have been five mass extinction events in Earth's history. In the worst one, 250 million years ago, 96 percent of marine species and 70 percent of land species died off. It took millions of years to recover. Will the USA start World War III resulting in the sixth mass extinction?
