Bloomberg published a traditional New Year's “Pessimist Directory” for 2018 - a list of 8 events of the coming year, which can lead to a global crisis in the next decade. Surprisingly, Russia is not in the title of any of the scenarios - traditionally, rather fantastic. The main thing, according to Bloomberg, will occur with our country, is a sharp drop in the cost of electric cars, which will kill oil and bring Elvira Nabiullina to the presidential chair.

The second term of Trump

Donald Trump wins the election in 2020. By 2021, he manages to cancel Obamacare, but it is not possible to conduct his health reform. The United States falls into a recession. In 2024, democrats win the elections, but they are not able to restrain growing riots in cities due to medicine. In 2028, a bicameral system actually dies due to a lack of confidence in the population. In the presidential election, none of the candidates from four parties receives the right number of votes.

The world of false news

Fake News kill Facebook. The social network and other technical gigants cannot cope with the influx of fake information, even the artificial intelligence specially designed for verification of data does not help them. World governments are forced to create their own “troll factories” following the example of the Russian. About half of the news on Twitter is a fake. By 2028, the media medium is fragmented on individual ideological groups of interests, which is why disinformation is only intensifying. Most Russians, for example, believe that Trump has become the president for life.

Bitcoin replaces banks

In 2018, the American regional bank reports a cyber attack on its services and the loss of all cash deposits. The financial system in the current form ceases to exist, more and more countries recognize Bitcoin by the national currency. In 2025, due to Trojan, who invisibly read data from deposits for three years, the global banking crisis begins. In 2028, the world banking system was scattered and autonomous and works only with cryptocurrencies (bitcoin costs $ 1 million). Alibaba and Amazon are responsible for the transfer of money.

The DPRK attacks

In 2018, DPRK missiles fall 20 km from the west coast of the United States. Trump decides not to answer, but meets with Xi Jinping, after which China closes the border with North Korea. In 2019, Kim Jong -un suddenly dies of a heart attack, the new puppet government of the country agrees to the rejection of the nuclear program. The United States begins to supply weapons to China, Xi Jinping in 2025 annexes Taiwan. Japan is developing nuclear weapons, arms race starts in the Asian region.

Labor is killing Britain

Brexit negotiations get out of control, Teresa May is being removed from his post, the head of the country is the leader of the Labor Labor Jeremy Corbin. Corbin promotes a socialist agenda and increases taxes, leading bankers run from London. In 2023, it was elected again, the public debt reaches 100% of GDP, inflation begins to grow sharply in the country. In 2028, Great Britain is close to default.

Europe is destroyed due to the "Generation War"

The abbreviated able -bodied population of the EU can no longer contain pensioners, in 2024 the level of unemployment among young people in Europe is 50%, the EU falls into a financial crisis, Catalonia leaves Spain, Belgium breaks up.

China is starting a trade war

China spends billions of dollars on switching to electric cars, the USA and Russia are leaving the agreement to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The climate worsens, Chinese rivers begin to dry. China imposes sanctions against countries that do not reduce emissions of CO2 - Russia, USA, Australia. The world trade war begins.

Electric cars kill oil

In 2018, a technological breakthrough allows you to start massively producing cheap electric cars, OPEC cancels an agreement on a reduction in oil production. By 2021, oil costs $ 20, riots begin at Russian factories. In 2024, Putin officially leaves politics, but continues to lead the country through the new president - Elvira Nabiullina. In Saudi Arabia, an economic crisis begins, which extends to the entire Middle East. By 2028, no one has heard about Putin for several years. Nabiullina is trying to preserve the unity of the country. OPEC ceases to exist.
