- In January or February, Russia will launch a major new offensive in the Russo-Ukraine War, destroying much of the Western narrative surrounding that conflict. However, it will not be a decisive victory, and the war will not end this year.
- China will launch a ground invasion of Taiwan, and will seriously miscalculate the US-allied response. This war will also continue into 2024.
- A tactical nuclear weapon or dirty bomb will be used in combat, either escalating one of the ongoing conflicts or starting a new one. However, there will not be a major nuclear exchange between global powers this year.
- A Washington DC politician or judge will be assassinated, most likely by a lone wolf radicalized on the internet.
- Food and energy prices will continue to inflate. However, deflation will be a more serious problem for the elite managerial class.
- The covid narrative is going to flip in a major way. The vaccines and the lockdowns will become anathema, and many prominent players in the pandemic (including Trump) will come under serious fire from both political sides.
- Toward the end of the year, we will start to hear rumblings of another pandemic.
- Deleting social media will become a major cultural trend.
- President Russell M. Nelson will announce something huge in General Conference, on the order of the Come, Follow Me initiative in 2018.
- In spite of all these global challenges, our family will continue to thrive and will end the year even better off than we now are, both spiritually and temporally.
