The Next Global Conflict, begins in 2011

My name is Thomas Reed, and I think you'll live to see the next global conflict. I've Just got a hunch and some info that the war will come. I want to be a war Writer in that age so I'm gonna start now. "Right now it's just absurd fiction" but the future is stranger than we can ever imagine. I think Charlie Stross' "prediction error bars, for SF "are the blindness of gutless-conservatism for the truth of pessimistic-futurism. We are going to have to kick major ass this century, some of it our own.


So here are some predictions. Part two will be ready next week.
feel free to use them however you wish, hope you like them.

an intro to "The Psycho Century" my sequel to R.A.H's "future history"

Part I -"The Great Splits"

Sometime in the next couple years the ball will get rolling on the greatest damn war since Hitler took Paris. First thing is America has to be shit on again by Arab Muslims, we'll leave "Dar al-Islam" in shame and put Persians in charge. Before we've left, the famous "Insha'Allah" timing system will motivate a "Tet offensive" style massed wave attack against both Americans and Persians. You're gonna want to have popcorn and videotape that day, sometime around Feb 5th 2012. If your a soldier there dig a damn deep foxhole for all the ammo.

Americans and Persians will fight side by side against silly "Red-shirt" Arab assaulting entrenched positions. We'll be slapping each-other on the backs as we leave, Persia will become like Israel is now, in Americans minds. I Wish I was a marine there just so I can see it in person. Oh well, we'll mow down the first wave or two before they breach our lines, then we get to the slaughtering by CQB. Imagine being ordered to fix bayonets as every pussy Shi'ite, who wasn't man enough to fight openly, runs at you. Marines snapping Arab necks left and right gutting the "The Allah Akbar crowd."

I can see the cover-ups of the massacre now. The PC crowd is going to go ape-shit when pictures of mutilated bodies turn up. Like the one where two Arabs hold down a Persian while the third mutilates his face. One of our marines will run up and blow away that prick then take a trench knife to the others. He'll be awarded whatever the Persian equivalent to the Victoria cross is and we'll drop his enlistment, Figures don't it.

After we're gone its "heads on pikes" time all across occupied Arabia, we might even tell the UN to "stuff it" and arm the Persians, with our "heavy metal swords," they'll use em on Arabs if we back em up with the UNSC veto. I can see Tora Bora getting dosed by a one-eyed Persian with American sanctioned "Ventilate Terrorists Act" contract from Uncle Sam.

The Oil Crisis drags on and gets worse for our Russian friends. the Far East starts agitating like crazy. Russia goes all to hell internally and the EU/PRC settle up the border splitting her into east and west Russia along a Siberian line after a short "'Russian Internal conflict"
So the EU starts in on Russia, they shift the French/German Divide in Germany's Favor.
France gets UK in ASAP to counter this, "outrage." So begins, the EU split along the Vienna->Brussels Line.

Next week, "New American Renaissance."
