Predictions 2012

Like seers throughout the ages, from Old Mother Shipton, to Nostradamus, blog commentators always feel impelled to have a stab at the coming years events .... its a chance to look stupid within months, weeks or even days.

Nosterdamus And Mother Shipton

But what the heck, here we go for 2012:
  • Iran will test fire a Nuclear Bomb sometime this year, with all that this implies.
  • All the 'Arab Spring' states will end up with Islamist parties in power, with all that this implies. 
  • Nigeria will move closer towards a civil war based upon the Islamic Christian splits that already exist.
  • North Korea will attack South Korean forces in another calculated gamble that they can force more aid from them.
  • Pakistan will continue to slide backwards, and the army will take over again (that's if they ever really let go).
  • Greece will pull out of the Euro, and at least one other state will follow suite.

Oh and one last one ..... the Mayan Apocalypse of 2012 will not be the end of the world .... well not unless the world reacts badly to one of the above, in which case maybe it will be. And that's my thoughts for the year ahead .....

Moderation is on for older posts to stop spamming and comments that are off topic or inappropriate from being posted .... comments are reviewed within 48 hours. I don't block normal comments that are on topic and not inappropriate. Vexatious comments that may cause upset to other commentators, or that are attempting to espouse a particular wider political view, are reviewed before acceptance. But a certain amount of debate around a post topic is accepted, as long as it remains generally on topic and is not an attempt to become sounding board for some other cause.

Final decision on all comments is held by the blog author and is final.
