1. Land War in Asia
2. “tactical nukes are fine, bruh” - they are not fine
3. US goes down before Israel does
4. We get a really dumb attempt at federating two countries, it works just well enough to not fall apart
5. Ukraine goes down just before US does
6. Humanity and capitalism survive, this is not dumb enough for our final round yet

a gas pipeline between Europe and Africa gets nordstreamed,

1. I die within a few hours of the first nuke getting launched.

I’m hoping no one bothers to nuke Australia much, mostly.

That’s all I got, let’s On the Beach this shit. “This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with several bangs and a fart noise”

Ukraine will very slowly lose its war against Russia, and Israel will very slowly lose its war against all of its neighbors. NATO and the US will turn on Israel at the absolute last second so they can pretend they’re on the right side of history, which will convince nobody, but all state governments will play along because it’s just easier that way. A bunch of seemingly unrelated countries in South America and Africa will adopt anti-US foreign policies, publicly using rhetoric about the US-backed genocide against the Palestinian people, but practically because the US was revealed to be a paper tiger. China will get 90% of the rebuilding contracts and experience a post-war economic boom, but it won’t be as notable as the US’s WW2 boom because China’s economy is already so large and rapidly growing. The US will continue to think of itself as a great world power despite no longer being one, like Britain.

It’s possible another US-backed front opens up, but I actually don’t think that’s so likely, as a Harris admin would be a continuation of the Biden admin, which is presumably already getting all the wars their backers want, or a Trump admin would fail to put together a war again. If the US does start another war, it’ll be even more secondary than Ukraine/Russia, and accelerate the same conclusions as before. Unless the US actually starts a war over Taiwan, which I think is very unlikely because literally nobody benefits, but wars like that have happened before, and if it does then the results will probably be the same as outlined above but faster, but the chances of that going nuclear are high enough that I’m moving to a cave in the mountains if it happens.

All of this will of course be a stream of horrors for anyone anywhere near the fighting.

One thousand years of Cold War. Nothing ever happens.

I’m going 1.

They’re going to abandon Ukraine but Azov will escalate as insurgents and maybe abroad.

Zionists will overextend their fronts and suffer losses that the US won’t be prepared or able to turn around. They might resort to nukes on the way down. Probably.

I don’t think the US has the logistical capabilities to wage a direct war against an industrial power

big drop in real estate prices in 2027 is all i know for sure

Would be peak doomerisn if the current Communist Party of Russia managed a miracle and became head of government, only for them to be just as reactionary as the current government and just as capitalist.

It’s basically a free-space, but America will escalate/start another genocide. Maybe we speedrun Poland to looking like Ukraine is now?

us will nuke itself, probably the west coast, and blame a foreign nation, as an excuse to glass as much as possible. eco-fascism follows, big chunks of the world turned into a cratered smear, the rest exploited down to its remaining yield, then we all fucking die

also we’ll get sent to work for a big corporation and that’s just your job now or else. feudalism but corporate and worse

Same as my prediction for hockey post-season: Boston gives Toronto a first-round exit.

It’s gunna’ be so profitable.

#1 is already happening, though the US will bring out the nukes (and probably even bioweapons, etc) before they ever stop being a bunch of genocidal rampaging barbarians. And I expect they will get destroyed by their victims’ retaliation and hope it will be as decisive a retaliation as necessary, no matter what it takes.

#2 will come in time as well, I think. Hell, I think that if things escalate far enough, even India and perhaps the rest of BRICS will be forced to act, militarily- a basic understanding of US/western nuclear exchange planning, as well as the sheer inhumanity of the western imperialist system, will show just how deranged the west is and how intolerable and destructive it will be (should it be able to maintain its fascistic forces from within- the hope being of course that the empire could implode from within and that those involved in the processes of escalating to nuclear war and worse have the sense to revolt should push come to shove).

#3 is lowkey happening, IMO. I suppose if nothing else they seem to be imitating what works in some degree (the Chinese model of development and even the Soviet legacy which is not yet fully dead). Without the principles of proletarian rule I expect it will regress in time, but it’s doing something halfway right (and in foreign policy it’s doing a hell of a lot right), I suppose.

#4 is basically happening everyday, isn’t it?

And #5… isn’t going to be an accident, if it happens. The same country that has bombed its own civilians, which has used bioweapons and chemical weapons on its unaware civilians, which uses militarized police against its civilians, will naturally bomb them again, and nukes aren’t out of the question. And honestly if the US somehow doesn’t bring MAD upon itself before it gets to such a point, it’ll probably strike those preventing it from doing so- maybe with nukes, who’s to say?
