As 2024 inches to it's last breath...we've been witnesses to events in this year which nobody have ever imagined. Contemplating most people who followed this year's happenings it was just the pre-nups to what is to unfold especially in 2025.
What many don't realize starting from 2022 events happened in systematic manner to not raise panic and make "Wars" a generalized event...so nobody will question what is still building up!
We saw space warfare...nobody questioned it, we saw direct attacks on Nuclear Power plants...nobody questioned it, we saw use of conventional Nuclear weapons nobody questioned it, heck we even saw deep sea warfare...nobody questioned it..
