Israel/zionists.

They'll come along without any warning, they'll tricks the world into believing a bunch of uneducated, bearded individual in some country far far away, who wear flip-flops and pj's to war, to be the real danger to the world.

End of thread.

Either an asteroid or Israel/zionists.

The later being the one to come along before the first has the opportunity.

Both will come along without any warning, whilst the first tricks the world into believing a bunch of uneducated, bearded individual in some country far far away, who wear flip-flops and pj's for war, to be the real danger to the world.

as far as we are concerned our own sun producing a flare of sufficient magnitude WILL

a nearby star WILL go supernova one day and the gamma ray burst may
be strong enough to effectively wipe out all life on earth.

the issue here though is actually there is not much the planet needs to worry about
short of a very large impactor happening by until our sun goes red giant.

its US that need to worry!

You missed out global warming that is going to do us all in init!!??

Russia - with their nuclear arsenal with a nutter on the trigger?
IS - for being, well just full of jihad nutters?
China - just sitting quietly in the background, waiting to pounce?
Toxic cocktail that - China will prevail for they will wait, wait, and wait whilst the rest become weaker/vulnerable. Economic or military domination will bring about the same net result.
China own half of the western economy already.
No, not really.

In terms of the "world order", China's rise will change everything.

Whether or not that will be a "threat" remains to be seen.
China has a coming fall IMO and many others as well.

Seeing as everyone else has fred drifted; the biggest threat to the western world is sandal-wearing lentilists like Helen Caldicott, who want everyone to go back to living in caves and using candles for illumination, but not before despoiling the earth with windmills and solar panels and confusingly getting rid of refridgeration.

Short of civil war, any sudden fall or "market correction" will simply delay the inevitable.

China's GDP on a PPP basis is expected to surpass the USA this year according to the world bank.

Proper threat is a desperate lunatic in charge o. a country with a capable military. So what you're looking for now is a country with an inherently fragile system of government that already has reasonably effective armed forces ... or nukes. In no particular order, China, Pakistan and Russia.

Russia is a kleptocratic mess. Stable in the short term because Putin is still popular, but that popularity could evaporate very quickly. Pakistan is only ever 1/2 an inch from political collapse. China has some major growing pains to overcome if it to negotiate a path from being a large county with a poor population (its current state) to a country with a greater GDP per capita and the change in aspirations that that will produce. China has lent heavily on pea-brained nationalism to try to maintain "unity" which really means Party control. That could run out of control and lead to conflict , or it could collapse in a heap and lead to a power vacuum,
