Re: What may happen?

WW3 is happening, its the WoT

The stock market is likely due to rising intrest rates, governmenty debt, personal debt and the subprime scandal

I predict a new cold war, either between russia (again) and the USA or russia and china or china and the USA

Re: What may happen?

Things get hot in Pakistan, the islamists take over. The US is panic-stricken and attacks to neutralize the nuclear weapons. The islamists within the Pakistan army manage to get off a few nukes into India in desparation.

India retaliates with nukes, accidentally killing a score of US soldiers fighting there. Then all hell breaks loose.

Re: What may happen?

#1 happens periodically.
#3 never went away since 1944.
#2 is quite possible. In fact given historical record of major wars (wars involving all or most of the largest global powers fighting each other) we're several decades overdue for it.

History shows that war between the major powers in any region (and in a global system like we have today that's the entire world) is pretty much inevitable.
The only question is what will trigger it, which historically can be pretty much anything.
