To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Definitely Russian aggression.  Also most dangerous to Americans, not just because of nuclear weapons, but also because of cyber weapons.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

russia's just going through a phase. more importantly, i hope the same is true of the EU! i don't know enough about the EU to gauge its future stability.

Hard to say. The situation with ISIS is bound to go pear shaped, while Russia while likely not go further than E. Ukraine, but obviously the consequences of the later situation getting out of hand are far worse.

Ebola, I expect some pretty apocalyptic scenes in West Africa, but it probably won't spread out of Africa, and if it does only to similarly poverty stricken parts of the world. So bad on a human scale, but not directly threatening to the West.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
