    On foreign policy there are so many fucked up scenarios now:

    • War with Iran,
    • War with Venezuela
    • New sanctions on Cuba
    • New sanctions on Bolivia
    • New sanctions on Mexico.
    • Coups in all latin american countries that get out of line
    • America gets involved in Chile to protect the neoliberal legacy (a lot of 2020 has been about shoring up neoliberalism)
    • America escalates in the South China sea
    • CIA gets sent into Xinjiang
    • CIA gets sent into Belarus (if they aren't already)
    • More wars in Africa since that continent will take the brunt of the climate apocalypse, which will cause migration

    Biden is a puppet of the security state with a senile mans comprehension of world affairs, Trump was just uninterested in these things and only gave in when he was pressured or conned. Biden has 50 years of experience as a war hawk and believes in American exceptionalism and its role as World Police.

      CIA gets sent into Xinjiang

      I like this one for the fact they will almost immediately be arrested. I can't wait for them to try and explain what American backpackers are doing in a country they're currently banned from due to covid, why they've been arrested for espionage, why they were caught after illegally crossing the border, and what all these various CIA links are in their history.

      Feels like this is not the best of times to be deploying new spies haha.

        I would expect this to happen once everything dies down, and we wouldn't know about it until years later. Typically the CIA's playbook is funding separatists, they could meet with them just across the border, find people native to the area, fund them and have them be your voice and do the organising. Lots of ways a group of psychopaths with unlimited funds can destabilize a region, especially since China wants to open up for trade and the BRI.

        I'm looking forward to the Ministry of State Security rounding up a bunch of them. The best part about it will be the Breadtube libs whining about how "authoritarian" it is.

    Seeing as my country just announced that we have to kill all mink (the small furry animal used to make coats) due to a possible new strain of COVID being discovered here, 2021 might include sanctions on Denmark. So get ready for an even dumber world event than 2020. Also if a new strain of virus appears and makes it to america, we might see some real shit go down.

      Hejsa, comrade! Hvordan gør det?

      A virologist friend of mine who is very involved with the corona says that the new strain we got in Denmark is not actually going to affect the vaccine development. The problem is that the virus can mutate so fast, and once its established in an animal population you kinda have to kill it if you dont want to get further mutations. I think we should probably permanently shut off North Jutland from the world. Perhaps build a wall...

        I am no virologist at all, so all I have to go from is the Danish news media, who keep reporting about the possible new strain of Corona-virus. And since the government has decided to quarantine that entire region of the country (northern Jutland) where the industrial farms are, most people seem to think the concerns are pretty well-founded. however there is basically no enforcement of the quarantine in that region and like won't be. So its an appeal to their good senses at most.

          Well, apart from a few fines in the parks of Copenhagen, I feel the measures against Corona aren't really that we'll enforced in general... I can only imagine in Jutland... But there is like five crazy rednecks that live there anyway lol

        However it's funny seeing mink farmers denouncing the immorality of killing healthy animals.

    Climate change fucks up several large cities by putting them underwater. To everyone's surprise its not coastal cities, just like random landlocked ones start to sink into the ground because the world became too warm before it became a desert Shai Hulud has awoken angry and our world will be cleansed.

    Domestically, nothing fundamentally changes (except maybe a covid vaccine will be widespread by the end of the year)
