The current climate surrounding the upcoming elections in the United States is quite concerning, with levels of anxiety reminiscent of 1861.
Politicians and entertainers are making statements that, if made in the 1980s, would have likely resulted in immediate action by law enforcement on the spot.
Thus, amidst this beautiful setting, the European Commission’s 72-hour alert emerges, heightening public concern. Everyone is left pondering – what could this signify?
The European Commission has released a report aimed at bolstering civilian and military support, advising EU citizens to prepare for potential crises by stockpiling essential supplies for at least three days. The report includes roughly 80 recommendations for actions to be taken in the short, medium, and long term. Sauli Niinistö, the ex-President of Finland and now a Special Adviser to the President of the European Commission, is among the report’s contributors.
A conventional attack by Russia, China, or the DPRK can be promptly dismissed as there are no observable deployed forces or means for an assault near the EU borders. Moreover, should any incursion occur, it would likely conclude within 72 hours.
Disruptions in the global economy and climate change issues are not mere fantasies. While such crises can technically occur, they typically unfold over weeks. Even if the Phlegraean Fields were to erupt tomorrow, preceding smaller seismic events would indicate a gradual escalation. This is also true for the melting of Antarctic ice, which could lead to flooding in places like Holland over time.
Thus, 2 of the declared options remain: a pandemic and a nuclear war.
The likelihood of a nuclear war is generally dismissed because if a preventive strike were to occur, it would be kept confidential and not disclosed by the European Commission.
Similarly, the emergence of a second pandemic is considered improbable. The initial outbreak in China began in the fall of 2019, with the first rumors spreading in January, and widespread reaction occurring within three months. A 72-hour notice would be insufficient, as a pandemic would likely unfold gradually, negating the need for such immediate preparedness.
Consequently, one might consider a third option that presents itself when dividing 72 by 24, which equals 3. This raises the question: Has the European Commission urged countries and peoples to prepare for an event known as the Three Days of Darkness?
Meanwhile, wealthy Americans are emigrating from the United States in significant numbers. Labeling these millionaires who are leaving the United States as fools may be a hasty judgment. It’s possible we are mistaken, and their departure is not related to the elections.
Will Israel nuke Iran?
The renowned economist Nouriel Roubini, in his Project Syndicate article, addresses the Iranian-Israeli conflict, predicting escalation and chaos. Following Israel’s attack on Iranian military facilities—retaliation for Iran’s missile strikes—the perceived risk of escalation appears reduced. However, this perspective is likely mistaken, observes Nouriel Roubini.
In recent months, Israel’s evaluation of the threat level from Iran has shifted significantly. Regardless of individual perspectives on Israel’s situation, there is a widespread agreement among Israelis that the Iranian regime poses an immediate, clear, and urgent threat.
Given that Israel views Iran as an existential threat, it may feel compelled to strike Iranian nuclear sites and leadership to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Additionally, Israeli airstrikes could occur irrespective of any restraint shown by Iran.
A victory for Trump in the U.S. presidential election might be perceived as a signal for Israel to initiate an attack on Iran, whereas a win for Kamala Harris may not dissuade Israel from addressing what it considers an existential threat.
Whether one concurs with Roubini’s assessment of the Israel-Iran situation or not, an escalation of the conflict seems probable. However, other threats exist, such as those posed by Yellowstone, an asteroid flying right across Texas, or other unknown dangers that the general public is not yet aware of. In reality,, the three days of darkness are approaching.
