>>509563363 (OP)Taiwan will take its own steps to become closer to China, thus defusing that whole crisis. The US will be asked (by Taiwan) to withdraw its troops and weaponry.
China will start to build a high-speed rail line in Russia, maybe a trans-Siberian one from Vladivostok to Moscow (an enormous project).
Inflation will start to run rampant in the US and Europe, and no governments will be able to hide it any more.
Possibly related to or because of the above, air travel will be severely restricted, starting sometime after late 2028 (possibly early 2029)
The ICC (International Criminal Court) will be discredited and may be disbanded.
Russia will take Odessa.
Ukrainian troops will surrender in large numbers. Zelensky will survive, but will live in exile. Belarus will help Russia establish a friendly government in Kiev. The F16s will never arrive.
There'll be serious media discussion about falling birthrates and increasing sterility in men, and the reasons for this.
Disney will fail and may be bought out by another major studio. (Or, possibly, by Elon Musk?)
The Asian countries (Russia, China, India, Mongolia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, North and South Korea, and many others) will be closely united in a mutually supportive economic bloc, even more than currently, very much disconnected from Europe and North America and securing their vast combined natural resources and industrial base mostly for themselves. What is now known as BRICS would (a) have a different name, and (b) be extended to 37 countries in full participation.
Ukraine and Israel will be much smaller. The two current wars will be over without having gone nuclear or having escalated beyond all control. Both countries will still exist, but will be be weakened so as to be no threat to their neighbours. Netanyahu and his war cabinet will be gone, as will Zelensky and his cohorts. Neither will be big international issues.
I feel nothing in my bones about Australia.
