Apocalypse scenarios are rising
The Pentagon I am sure has an apocalyse-prediction department and it will be pretty busy right now. There are currently at least four apocalypse scenarios all of which could lead to some form of conflagration. They are the following: 1.Russia invades Ukraine despite warnings from the US and Nato, leading to multiple casualties and brutal images of suppression. The US and the alliance hesitates but after a serious misunderstanding, alliance fighter jets clash with Russian fighter jets and Russian pilots are killed. In retaliation, Russia fires missiles at a US troop base in Poland. The conflict becomes grave until common sense intervenes and Russia and alliance pull back from full-scale conventional war. But Ukraine is occupied by Russian troops and tanks. 2. China invades Taiwan with mass naval, air and amphibious forces. In support of Taiwan, US Navy warships and carrier-borne fighters clash with Chinese PLA. China fires ballistic missiles at US base in Guam and US retaliates with missile launch against Chinese coastal missile defences and sinks a couple of Chinese coast guard militia vessels. None of which prevents China from seizing control of Taiwan. Brief war between China and US ends, but Taiwan's independence is lost for ever. Beijing triumphant. 3. North Korea trebles its nuclear warhead stocks and doubles its long-range ballistic missiles. After two years of increasing tension between Pyongyang and Washington, Kim Jong-un orders a conventional ballistic missile strike on Guam and threatens to launch nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles at the US if America strikes back. 4. Israel launches a mass bombing raid on Iran's Natanz uranium-enrichment plant. Iran responds with a ballistic missile attack on Israel, and Hezbollah joins in with a huge artillery and rocket attack on Israel from Lebanon. Israel invades Lebanon. The US tries to intervene but Israel refuses to row back, and Iran proxy forces mount attacks across the Middle East. It's that sort of world we live in, never mind the bl.... pandemic!
