Predictions

Prepared for the Worst

Six months ago I wrote the following:

All the bad actors in the world know they have two-and-a-half years to run rampant since the U.S. won’t do anything. Expect war.

 At the time some thought it alarmist, but it isn’t surprising how the past half year has worked out.

• Putin’s slow-motion invasion of Ukraine.
• Boko Haram rampaging through Nigeria, kidnapping children and sacking churches.
• China aggressively staking out territorial claims in the Pacific.
• North Korean threats and missile tests.
• Libya’s collapse into an anarchic terror state.
• All-out war between Israel and Hamas.
• Violent anti-semitism across Europe.
• Russia testing NATO’s air defenses.
• Central American crime syndicates pouring across our southern border
• ISIS crucifying its way across Syria and Iraq.

Over the past three days alone, we’ve seen sweeping anti-government riots in Pakistan, Beijing invalidating Hong Kong democracy, ISIS beheading a second American journalist, and now 11 commercial airliners are missing from Libya.
