My bet is USA vs. China over Taiwan
China watched Ukraine fail. They’re likely building ten million drones at the moment.
We’re practically there. If Poland or Belarus had rolled into the Ukraine conflict (most likely Belarus attacking Ukraine and Poland sending peace keeping troops), we’d have been in a world war with a limited nuclear exchange pretty soon.
It’s crazy that no one has mentioned Israel yet. The Middle East has been unstable, bloody, violent for so long, and the mess is so complicated that it always had my vote. Remember that Israel is a tiny country with nuclear weapons surrounded by countries who have vowed to destroy it
trump gets re-elected.....
My guess is fairly general but something along the following lines:
Climate change fueled freak weather occurrence/years of such lead to massive food insecurity (or massive influx of refugees from a nearby country suffering from the above) in a poor but nuclear armed nation (think Pakistan) leading them to freak out and elect someone crazy (like America did with trump when they went from being the richest country in the world to still the richest country in the world.
Results: crazy threats, escalations, someone launches a pre-emptive attack or there's a coup, nuclear weapons are launched in the havoc and then things really spiral.
So Fallout?

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
