This Is the Way the World Ends…
If you’ve been following the news recently, the world is not in a great state.
The War on Terror is raging as strongly as ever, and after Turkey shot down a Russian jet earlier this week, the winds of war are on the rise.
In fact, speculation was so strong that World War III was a trending topic on Twitter, and countless users matter-of-factly let us know exactly what they had to think about the matter. Leave it to the internet to find the humor in otherwise serious topics.

Start the slideshow below to see the first world’s real fears about WWIII, then SHARE!

Hollywood Will Disagree
World War II was a rare case where the sequel was better. Doing World War III will ruin the franchise. #SayNoToTheTrilogy

"Granddad, what were you doing when World War III broke out?" "I was meme-ing and photoshopping pretty hard on Twitter."

If you could just please refrain from starting World War III until after Star Wars, that would be just great. Thank you.
