WWIII begins tomorrow? What the "new Nostradamus" and other prophets had to say
The Indian astronomer has made his case, along with many other prophets and experts
© Getty Images
Is a third world war inevitable? With so many terrible and politically charged events taking place worldwide, it can sometimes feel like we are walking on eggshells, never being quite certain when something could erupt, escalate, and end up starting WWIII. Whether it’s tensions between Russia and the West with the war in Ukraine, or difficulties between China and the United States over Taiwan, or even ongoing conflicts related to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute that continue to destabilize the region, it’s terrifying to think of what could be.
A famous Indian prophet who has been deemed the "new Nostradamus" has made an incredibly specific prediction about the outbreak of World War Three, even going so far as to provide a specific date. Kushal Kumar is an astrologer who claims to have predicted several world events already, including the Israel-Hamas conflict, the increasing tensions between Taiwan and China, and problems between Russia and NATO. According to Kumar, "Tuesday, June 18, 2024, has the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WW3 although June 10 and 29 may have a say as well." Kumar used the Vedic astrological chart to make his predictions. In Hindu culture, this chart is considered the "map of our karma," according to The Economic Times.
Unfortunately, it's not just Kumar predicting the start of a third world war: other prophets, experts, and even AI are pointing towards it being a reality. Click through to see what they're saying.
