After Iran attacked Israel with hundreds of missiles and drones on Saturday night, Americans panicked for "World War III" and other related searches.
According to Google Trends, searches for "World War III" have surged across the country, hitting a five-year high.
Americans also searched for "when will World War III start", "when will World War III happen", and even "Alexa, when will World War III start" and "Are we heading towards World War III".
At the same time, there has been a surge in Americans asking about conscription age in Google searches, and they are likely to be younger millennials and Gen Zers.
Here are other surging web searches.
For those of the neoconservative Washington elites, remember that the DEI generation has already said they will not be in your foreign wars anymore! What about recruiting immigrants of the right age who are just pouring into the United States?
Meantime...
Sigh, America.
