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?

- or us for just sitting on our backsides waiting for something to happen??

Have I missed anyone out? wink

The universe.

Oomans will have petty squabbles and wars but we get the boot up the @rse from things that can do far more damage than meat bags.

as far as we are concerned our own sun producing a flare of sufficient magnitude WILL
put us back to gas lamps and horse n cart days. one day.

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!

Yes.

That country betwixt Canada and Mexico and that small country with a western med coastline. The end of days will encompass these.

Bet me.

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.
