I want future generations to look at this question thread and marvel at our predictions and probably make lots of fun of us 😂

Imo the late 2020's through 2030's are going to be a hot war that will determine the leading ideology and superpower for the next century.
I believe China will win this for many reasons, the biggest being due to the leadership of the imperial core being too busy sniffing its own farts and lining the pockets of the bougousie. Even with nuclear weapons, I imagine the people in power will flee/be deposed by spies/disgruntled citizens/class traitors which will limit the damage done.
I believe that socialism is coming in our lifetimes but it will take a bloodbath to get there. Communism itself will require a lot of adjustment of beliefs and re-education so I'm thinking 2100 if I had to pick a year.
I don’t know if they are crazy enough to start WWIII. The columnists are but the senior pentagon officials have to be smarter. My guess would be another war of attrition with China where the US will have its proxy forces whittled down until the empire is no longer a military threat. If full on WWIII happens we’re all dead.
The US alone has repeatedly tried to start World War III. It's the restraint of other countries and sheer dumb luck that has prevented it.
Look at the US poking Russia for over a decade about red-line issues on their border. They barely give a shit that it's a nuclear power and they'll use any excuse to declare that there was an attack on a NATO country to ramp up the pressure even more. US ghouls don't know how to stop or deescalate, they only know how to argue about different ways to destroy their enemies no matter what.
Things are going to get very bad once the US is actually backed into a corner. It acts completely recklessly when it's under very little threat.
Perhaps not intentionally, but that won’t matter once we’re dead: List of nuclear close calls
I know about the close calls. There may be nuclear war by some stupid accident. I’m not putting my money on it. On the other hand the US might a wild card once they realize they’re no longer too dog.
