the world isn't gonna end but alot of other things are looking to happen next year

 

let take all 'real' warning:

solar storm -electricity could be wiped out

IRAN war aka WW3 - USAISRAEL trying to start another war which could become WW3 as China warns USA of getting closer and Russia also not liking it

Financial Collapse - the world is in deep debt with western economies not able to pay back the debt


Solar storm could possibly knock out electricity for large parts of America and other countries. But power could be restored fairly quickly the United States military has a plan drawn up in the case of an EMP attack. The military says they could restore order within 8 months if the entire country went dark. I doubt that this solar flare could spell the end for the United States let alone the world.

An Iranian war would not be WW3 the Arab League would likely support the action if it were taken by the United States with the support of Saudi Arabia. The Muslim world fears Iran's growing influence and the fact that they could soon have nuclear capabilities scares a lot of them. China and Russia would condemn the military action but wouldn't likely intervene. Also it is highly unlikely Israel or the US would actually deploy troops onto Iranian soil. The most likely scenerio is that Israel would hit all the nuclear facilities with bunker busters, air strike the Iranian defence department and several military instillations. Cripple Iran's air force and severly damage their missile defence network. In fact the closest I could see America/Israel coming to an all out incursion would be for them to supply rebels and protestors within Iran and allow them to take down the Government in a bloody civil war. If any country were to actually send in ground forces the Arab League would be most likely to do so, whether it be Saudi Arabia or another country.

If Iran sent forces into neighbouring Iraq and Afghanistan then I could see US forces actually invading Iran. However I do not think the US has intentions of invading or occupying Iran, they are tired of trying to stabalize Afghanistan and Iraq and realize an incursion into Iran would mean at least another 5-10 year commitment. One the US won't make!

As for China and Russia, neither are going to instigate a war with the United States. If any war does occur it will be a cold war, indirect and even it exploded into WW3 the four main players (China,India,Russia,Nato) wouldn't likely attempt to crush one another directly. In other words the world even as we know it wouldn't come to an end.

Financial collapse also can't end the world. It could radically change the world but not end it.

All the doom and gloom messages suggest an apocolyptic ending. It would take an act of God to destroy the earth and all the humans on it.
