2023 will be a year of chaos. It will be a dangerous year. Below are my 11 predictions:
There will be hundreds of mass shootings in the United States of America during 2023. The first mass shooting will occur before the sun sets on the first day of the year.
The Netanyahu extremist government in Israel will be a catastrophe. It will instigate a third Palestinian intifada and destabilize the Middle East.
The political situation in the Balkans will continue to destabilize between Serbia and Kosovo. The Balkans were the flashpoint for the First World War and the Serbian Army is fully mobilized and ready to strike against ethnic Muslim Albanians in Kosovo. Traditionally, Russia has stood with Serbia. Combat in this volatile region simmering with ethnic tensions will require immediate NATO intervention to keep it from spreading.
The Ukrainian War caused by Russian criminal aggression will escalate. There have been over 100,000 Russian military casualties. Putin understands he cannot survive total defeat in Ukraine. The war will become more savage in the spring once winter breaks.
Vladimir Putin will be toppled.
President Biden will face a serious primary challenge that arises in the third quarter of 2023.
It will become clear that the New Hampshire primary will be first in the nation for the Democrats.
Kevin McCarthy will be defeated in his attempt to be Speaker.
The Hunter Biden investigation will be a graceless obscenity that mixes cruelty, tribalism, dishonesty and smearing into a political weapon of mass destruction that debases the entire society.
Governor Ron DeSantis will be the overwhelming GOP front runner for president and become the de facto leader of the post-Trump Republican party.
Donald Trump will be indicted. His plea deal will bar him from ever holding office again.
While I am optimistic about our future, I believe that things will get worse before they get better. That’s the case, unfortunately, for the year ahead.
What are your predictions?
Well and a good morning to you. I don’t know. I do think the Republican led House will be a mess. Two years of nonsense.
I like Biden and have felt he was exactly what was needed after Trump. I have always felt he should be a one-term President, a transition President for a new generation. Because so many things are such a mess, I am conflicted about this now.
I don’t think Trump will go to prison. Not allowing him to run for office again should be the minimum action. Ban him from any type of social media, travel restrictions, no rallies, remove all government funding, pension, Secret Service, etc. Maybe banish him to Epstein’s island.
Ukraine is a worry. We have to get Russia stopped. Have no idea how this can be done, but it needs to be done soon. Thinking I am on the side of giving them everything they need to finish this off.
Will be interesting to watch how it all plays out. I expect I will spend a great deal of time gardening to keep me sane.
Happy New Year, Steve and others here.
Agree that it will get worse. We are in a civil war. Seems the whole globe is to some extent.
“From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation ... we will live forever or die by suicide.” - Abraham Lincoln
