Pakistan to completely destabilize following more climate change driven natural disaster and start some limited border war along the line of control to try and shore up popular support at home.

The UK to slide into a deep depression, and lose much financial stability and jobs related to city trading houses moving to the EU. Northern Ireland to hold a border poll about rejoining the EU through a United Ireland.

Russian forces to continue digging in, exhausting Ukrainian attacks and causing a military stalemate and political deadlock. The Russian economy to continue to slide, corruption and gangsterism to encroach more on society there.

Saudi Arabia to attempt further sports washing to improve their international image. Some unlikely sports final to be hosted in Riyadh.

Vietnam to continue to crush the GDP growth rate, and start taking over some serious tech production from the likes of Shenzhen. Chinese COVID deaths to become a state secret, and the economy there to shrink while other Asian countries pick up the slack.

The GOP to split into pro and anti Trump factions, with the anti Trump faction to make some massively authoritarian laws to win over red state voters.
