Choose away! and if you want number them in order of potentiality or give us a couple runner ups [popcorn]
Really it's not that bad, it can always get worse! :laugh: [tinfoil]

Extinction level event, hope springs eternal.

Economic collapse is certainly possible. I give it a "most likely" on this list. There are many concerning indicators of a badly broken economic situation.
I don't really see a major war. China will keep expanding it's power, and we'll let that happen. Short of a non-state actor popping off a nuke or something, I'm going low likelihood here.
Civil war - well we're certainly in some socially and politically tumultuous times. As evidenced here, many people no longer believe in the legitimacy of the US government. Possible.
Peace In The USA - well, it's the fallout of a civil war.
Worldwide Pandemic V.2 - probably not. Improbable that another pandemic would strike just now.
Extinction Level Event - probably approaching zero. They have happened, but the odds of one occurring in 2021 are minimal.
-
I went with extinction level event just because at this point, I welcome it. :laugh:
In reality, I think the most we'll see for 2021 is a major stock market crash, similar to a few in the past. There will be end of the world talk, but in 5-10 years people will have their money back and more if they didn't panic and let it ride (or bought more).

National Economic Collapse - a BIG one
Global Economic Collapse - everyone feels the pain not just us
Major War Overseas - we invade
War In Our Country - we're invaded
Civil War - we fight each other
Peace In The USA - the peace of an absolutely tyrannical panopticon crushing all dissent and ruling unopposed
Worldwide Pandemic V.2 - new and improved with more death and misery than you can handle
"yes?"
-
...let me enlighten you...
Most of what might go wrong in 2021 will be the outworkings of our disastrous decisions in 2020 - handing total political control to madmen, mainstreaming neo-racism, encouraging terror and timidity in response to the Wuhan virus, failing to counter monopolistic control over information, and so on.
-
I doubt any will happen, but I could certainly see lower level events in most of those categories. Hell, Russia is massing troops on the Ukranian border. A major event, but I can't see Biden going to war over it.

China and Russia join forces and use Joes weakness to their advantage. Alaska gets hit with a trial run.....
Ok, time to put the Woodford down....

National Economic Collapse - a BIG one
Global Economic Collapse - everyone feels the pain not just us
Major economic troubles here seems like an almost sure thing. If we go, others will too.
Major War Overseas - we invade
with what, after we've pissed away trillions?
War In Our Country - we're invaded
by whom?
Civil War - we fight each other
Probably wouldn't go work the way anyone thinks it will.
Peace In The USA - the peace of an absolutely tyrannical panopticon crushing all dissent and ruling unopposed
They'll try, anyway.
Worldwide Pandemic V.2 - new and improved with more death and misery than you can handle
They do seem oh so anxious that everyone, everyone, everyone get the shot.
Extinction Level Event - humans are pikers, here, watch this ...
None of the above, let me enlighten you
I'm distrustful enough to not buy the standard narrative. What I see is, a little bit of real virus, probably some (attempted) conspiracy (hint, follow the money. Follow the Money.), and massive amounts of herd behaviour and Dunning-Krueger incompetence.
-
If anyone does invade they can have the left coast and the north east.
-
WW1 level inept foreign dealings snowballing to some level of conflict with the Russians, and then the Chicoms move against the dollar, resulting in bad times here. Bad economy pushes the Biden regime into throwing down with gun owners to move attention of an increasingly shitty economy to the "domestic terrorist threat".
Then it gets worse.

So you're saying the surney is faulty for not offering a choice for "All of the above"?

I say no poll needed. Dust off and nuke it from orbit.

Explosion of the crypto market followed by its banning (i.e. FDR style "ban" that lets elites and "legitimate" investors have it, like gold) which drives it through the stratosphere.

worldwide economic malaise.
"We" can't fight back due to adhering to principles.
Atlas shrugs on a smaller scale, like small business accepts defeat and gives up - knowing it can't compete with box stores and amazon.
Gov't institutes "trust" campaigns, like the
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trust
operation trust the commies did, luring out anti communist into the open and arresting/killing them.
Military becomes just another woke government agency, willing to be an incompetent collaborator with the commies.
We become "northern Mexico" meaning easier to bribe local police, everything is illegal, no one knows or obeys the law.
idiocracy meets 1984 has an affair with brave new world being run like animal farm but looking more like the movie brazil

This I can see happening.

I predict we are daily going to be bombarded with morons screaming at us about how evil white people are, that high standards are racist, some women have penises, men are rape monsters, and Christians are ignorant bigots. Oh, and police hunt innocent black men for sport.
And I predict the murder rate will jump another 10% or so.

An excellent selection of possible outcomes.
Paranoia is a survival trait.
I suspect that "Civil War" and "We're Invaded" are intertwined since I can't help but think that other countries will "Help Out" one side or another.
Note I said "or another," not "the other." Within our country today there are more than merely two factions hoping for ascendency (power) including our present government itself and it remains to be seen who might take over the enormous military power of our present government.
