*sigh*
I guess I have to talk about this?
I mean, I'm not even from the US and I am glad the election is over.
But it was a big part of 2016 so let's just get it over with.
And just in case I sound a bit strange in this video
it's because I have a cold and there's not much I can do about that unfortunately.
Okay, so in case you missed it, like there was any chance of that, the new leader of
Freedom TM (USA) was finally elected in November.
It began in June of 2015 when Donald J. Trump officially announced that he would be running
for president of the United States and most people reacted much like this.
BILL MAHER: And which republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election?
ANN COULTER: Of the declared ones? Right now, Donald Trump.
Very few people saw him as a serious candidate but that quickly changed and in July of 2016
Trump was officially selected as the Republican Party's nominee.
So now, it was Donald Trump up against the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Trump focused on making America great again and building walls.
DONALD TRUMP: We will build a great wall along the southern border!
DONALD TRUMP: And Mexico will pay for the wall, remember.
While Clinton went for the relatability approach.
HILLARY CLINTON: I don't know who created Pokémon Go.
HILLARY CLINTON: But I'm trying to figure out how we get them to have Pokémon Go to the polls.
Meanwhile the rest of the world looked on in disbelief as this reality TV-show, masquerading
as a presidential election, gradually descended into insanity.
A seemingly never-ending stream of scandals and controversies...
...debates mainly consisting of post-truth and he-said-she-said arguments...
HILLARY CLINTON: Well that's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States.
DONALD TRUMP: No puppet! No puppet!
HILLARY CLINTON: It's pretty clear...
DONALD TRUMP: You're the puppet!
HILLARY CLINTON: It's pretty clear you won't admit...
DONALD TRUMP: No, you're the puppet!
...and actual news coverage of Tweets...
CNN: *quoting tweets on screen*
...has only proven that facts, reason, and civil discourse has long left planet Earth.
As the election finally came to a close in November
it was predicted by most that the Pokémon expert would win.
But as we all know, she did not, and not-a-puppet is now set to become the 45th president of the US of A.
KEITH ELLISON: And we better be ready for the fact that he might be leading the Republican ticket.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: I know you don't believe that but I wanna go on...
In the midst of this political fiasco the world collectively decided it was time to obses over the death of a gorilla.
The gorilla, named Harambe, was shot to death at a zoo in the US after he got a hold of a child.
The incident received international coverage and induced global controversy.
Not only because the video was recorded vertically but also because Harambe was, well, killed.
Something that many argued could've been avoided.
Nevertheless, the three-year-old boy survived and a biopic is now set to be released in 2017.
2016 was also the year the UK voted to leave the European Union in a highly controversial
referendum known as Brexit.
Not to be confused with the highly controversial vote to eat Breakfast.
ANDREW R. T. DAVIES: Mark my words. We will make breakfast.. Brexit!
AARON HESLEHURST: Worldwide export drive saying breakfast?
NICOLA STURGEON: Brexit mean breakfast.
AARON HESLEHURST: Breakfast.. Brexit.
AARON HESLEHURST: After the UK. After breakfast.
AARON HESLEHURST: Okay, let us stay with the theme of breakfast.
The Breakfast campaign promoted independence as the solution to numerous concerns regarding
immigration, border control, and various economic and legislative issues.
However, while 52% of the population voted to leave, it seems that a large number of
voters did not fully comprehend the potential consequences of doing so.
Well at least they didn't parade around in a giant red bus with potential voter-decisive
promises printed on the side only to backtrack on those promises after the fact.
That would've been strange.
SUSANNA REID: The £350 million pounds a week we send to the EU which we will no longer send to the EU.
SUSANNA REID: Can you guarantee that's gonna go to the NHS?
NIGEL FARAGE: No I can't. And I would never have made that claim.
SUSANNA REID: I don't know how many people voted on the basis of that advert but that was a huge part of the propaganda.
SUSANNA REID: You're now saying that's a mistake?
Whether or not independence will ultimately be a good thing for the UK or the prologue
to a Black Mirror episode remains to be seen.
It's difficult to pinpoint the single most widespread meme or viral trend of 2016 so
I guess the entirety of the US election will have to suffice.
I mean, it's even received a dedicated page on KnowYourMeme.com and we all know why.
DONALD TRUMP: I'm very highly educated. I know words, I have the best words.
With that being said, while Mr. Trump may have won the electoral vote, we all know that
the true champion of the election was none other than Ken Bone.
Other memes include Ted Cruz being outed as the Zodiac killer...
...mother nature herself choosing Bernie Sanders when a bird landed on his podium,
Trump's tiny tiny hands...
...and perfectly normal human reactions by Hillary Clinton.
Non-election related viral trends included the Mannequin Challenge, this feat of modern lyrical brilliance...
...a poorly animated frog on a unicycle...
...and what can only be described as an ad for a shoe brand.
A leak known as the Panama Papers unraveled over the course of 2016.
The leak consisted of 11.5 million documents and originated from a Panamanian law firm
known as Mossack Fonseca.
The documents contained financial information about shell corporations owned by or connected
to presidents, kings, politicians, executives, celebrities, and many other powerful and influential
individuals around the globe.
But what's so interesting about many of these shell corporations is that they have been
used for various illegal purposes such as tax evasion, fraud, kleptocracy, money laundering, etc.
In other words, the rich and powerful have taken advantage of various loopholes in an
effort to remain rich and powerful.
And the world collectively gasped in shock.
Some people with direct or indirect ties to these documents include the Prime Minister of Iceland,
the President of Argentina, friends and relatives of Vladimir Putin, the King of Saudi Arabia,
the Prime Minister of Italy, various people connected to the Clinton family,
the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, members and Presidents of FIFA,
Lionel Messi, Tiger Woods, Jackie Chan, Simon Cowell, and many many others.
As I've covered anniversaries in my last two end-of-the-year videos, it only seems appropriate
to continue that tradition and to remind you all that your youth is slipping away as the
inevitability of death is approaching ever so swiftly.
10 years ago; the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3 were released.
Twitter was launched.
Google acquired YouTube.
The two sitcoms That '70s Show and Malcolm in the Middle concluded.
And the solar system lost a planet as the word "planet" was formally redefined and as
a consequence Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet.
50 years ago; Star Trek began while the animated show The Flintstones concluded after six seasons.
75 years ago; the attack on Pearl Harbor took place
and consequently lead to the United States' entry into World War II.
100 years ago; one of the bloodies battles in not only World War I but all of human history,
known as the Battle of the Somme claimed the lives of over a million soldiers.
Pokémon became a widespread phenomenon this year due to the immensely popular mobile augmented
reality game Pokémon Go.
It's been downloaded over half a billion times and has been praised for incentivizing people
to become more physically and socially active.
However, it also generated controversy due to various accidents and safety concerns.
Some examples include people getting lost, increased inattentiveness, trespassings,
traffic accidents, and even a few deaths.
On the 15th of July, soldiers marched unto the streets of Istanbul and other major cities across Turkey.
They were part of a faction of the Turkish military who wanted to overthrow the Turkish
government due to various political motivations.
Over 300 people were killed as a result but the coup ultimately failed as the attackers
were defeated by forces still loyal to the state.
Tens of thousands were arrested and detained in the aftermath and the president of Turkey
issued a three-month state of emergency.
It's believed that the coup leaders where part of a movement known as the Gülen movement
that is led by an Islamic preacher living in the United States.
And even though Mr. Gülen has denied any involvement, hundreds of thousands have now
been fired from their jobs on accusations of simply having connections to the movement.
On August the 19th, Samsung released their latest smartphone, the Galaxy Note 7.
Demand for the phone was initially high and sales exceeded expectations.
But then, something interesting happened.
Reports from all over the globe suggested that the phone had severe issues with overheating.
A defect that was so extreme that the phone could literally burst into flames or even explode.
Samsung were then quick to identify a defect in the battery of the phone and began offering replacements.
That is, until the replacement phones began exploding as well.
Perfectly illustrated here in this real-to-life recreation.
Cars were set aflame and multiple flights had to be canceled.
Production of the Galaxy Note 7 was eventually discontinued and the company lost an estimated
$17 billion due to the mishap.
As divisive as this year has been for many, most seem to agree that 2016 has not been great.
And I must concur as it was truly a challenge to find positive things to say about 2016.
Natural disasters.
Unnatural disasters.
Celebrities and other public figures passing away.
But through the chaos and destruction a beacon of hope is shining as bright as ever.
It's been a pretty exciting year for astronomy and related fields beginning with a revolutionary
astronomical observation.
A phenomenon known as gravitational waves, that had been predicted by Albert Einstein
exactly 100 years ago in 1916, was in February announced to have been detected and observed
for the very first time.
Thus confirming the last remaining unproven prediction of general relativity and redefining
the future of astrophysics forever.
In September, a 30 tonne meteorite was discovered in Argentina, making it the forth largest
meteorite ever discovered on Earth.
An earth-like exoplanet was found orbiting within the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri,
the closest star to the Sun.
In a new effort to find life on the planet Mars, the ESA and Roscosmos launched the ExoMars mission.
Unfortunately, the probe that was supposed to land on the Martian surface crashed into
the planet and left a tiny black dot as evidence of its demise.
The world's largest radio telescope was completed in China and will, among other things, be
used to scan the cosmos for signs of intelligent life as none have been found on planet Earth.
The spacecraft Juno began orbiting Jupiter and photographed the planet's north- and south
pole for the very first time.
Many had speculated that the poles of Jupiter may exhibit a hexagonal shape, much like the
north pole of Saturn, but as we now know this is not the case.
And finally, the private spaceflight company SpaceX performed a vertical landing on a floating
platform after numerous failed attempts.
A perfect example of how science fiction becomes science fact.

Jeep Wrangler Smittybilt XRC Front Bumper (1997-2006 TJ) Review & Install - Duration: 4:42.
I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com, and this is my review and installation of the Smittybilt
XRC Front Bumper, fitting all 1997 to 2006 TJs.
Today, we're gonna talk through the installation of this bumper, which is a very simple one
out of three wrench installation.
You should be able to get this bolted on the front of your TJ in about an hour because
it is designed to bolt right in place of your factory bumper, making the install very quick
and easy.
But we'll talk more about the installation in just a second.
We're also gonna talk through the construction and a few of the features of this bumper.
A bumper like this is for those of you who want a front bumper that will provide a little
bit more protection to your TJ, but moreover, offer additional features that make this bumper
off-road ready.
This bumper is going to provide D-ring mounts, recovery mounts, a few other features that
make it a really nice off-road bumper.
And because this is from Smittybilt, which are known for making a quality product at
a lower price range, this is going to be an affordable bumper as well.
As far as construction goes, this bumper is made from three-sixteenths-inch cold rolled
steel, and the whole thing is covered in a textured black powder coat finish to help
it resist rust and corrosion.
As far as a few of the features that I really do like about this bumper, it does have two
D-ring mounts, right up on the front here, which are going to give you really strong
connection points for recoveries.
It also has a winch mount up on top, which is ready to hold a 10,000-pound winch without
the need to purchase any additional accessories or winch mounts or anything like that.
You can just bolt your winch right up, making install of the winch very easy as well.
So some of you might be thinking, "If I have a winch, why do I need the D-ring mounts?"
Well, the D-ring gives you a really solid connection for using a tow strap or a snatch
strap in those situations where that is a better option for recovery than your winch
would be.
And even if you are using your winch, you can double your winch pulling power by going
to a snatch block on a tree and back to that solid connection of the D-ring on your bumper.
So having both really gives you a lot of different options.
No matter what sticky situation you get yourself into, you're going to be able to get out with
this bumper outfitted with a winch.
Above the winch area, of course, you see this overrider hoop, and on top of that, you have
two welded light mount tabs.
Now, these mounts are spaced so that you can run a nine-inch round off-road light or a
smaller light, of course, if you choose.
Even a small three-inch LED light pod would look good up there and give you the opportunity
to run some auxiliary lighting, which is very nice.
Now, this bumper is approximately a full-width bumper.
It is going to give you good coverage across from fender to fender, and it's going to give
you that style that we talked about as well.
I said before, installing this bumper on your Jeep is a very simple process.
The first step is going to be removing your factory bumper, which you'll do by removing
the six bolts that hold it in place.
There are two bolts in the top of each frame rail and one in the bottom of each frame rail.
Once that bumper is removed, it's a simple matter of setting your new bumper on the frame
rails and using the included hardware to bolt it down.
If you are going to be installing a winch on this bumper, you can install the winch
before bolting the bumper onto the Jeep.
It'll make it a little bit easier to get to those winch mounting bolts.
However, of course, the winch and bumper combination is going to be a lot heavier to hoist onto
the Jeep, so you might wanna have an extra set of hands around.
Other than that, you're not going to need any specialty tools for this job, just your
traditional hand tools, and as I said before, about an hour's time.
This is a very easy one out of three wrench install.
This bumper comes in at right around $420, and when you compare it to the competition
from a feature and a build-quality perspective, I do think that it's worth the cost.
You're not going to find a bumper that has the overrider hoop, the light mounts, the
winch mount, the D-ring mounts, full coverage, all of the things that you're getting with
this bumper for much less, without giving up any build quality.
So I think this is a pretty good value.
So if you're looking for an aftermarket front bumper for your TJ that's going to provide
protection, off-road ready features, and some additional style, I think this is a really
fairly-priced option.
So that's my review of the Smittybilt XRC Front Bumper, fitting all 1997 to 2006 TJs,
that you can find right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Superchips Flashcal F5 (2007-2017 JK) Review & Install - Duration: 6:07.
I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com, and this is my review of the Superchips Flashcal F5,
working with all 2007-2016 JKs.
This is for those of you who have added larger tires onto your JK and are looking to make
sure that your speedometer and odometer are accurate as well as adjusting your automatic
transmission shift points for those new larger tires.
If you've regeared your Jeep, this will allow you to make those adjustments as well in order
to keep you from going into limp mode.
And this also gives you a lot of other adjustability for everything from the TPMS system to your
horn and headlight options, to your locker options if you have a Rubicon that has factory
electric lockers.
I really like this system because it has a screen on it which makes it really easy to
use as opposed to some of the other calibrators out there on the market that just use dip
switches.
This is fairly priced, and you can always upgrade this if you decide that down the line,
you're somebody who wants some additional tune options so that you can run a higher
octane fuel and squeeze a little bit more power out of your JK.
The F5 is Superchips new version of the Flashcal.
The old version had a lot of the same functionality, but this one is much more sleek and modern
looking.
And it includes a two-and-a-half inch HD color screen which just makes using the programmer
a little bit more pleasant.
Now, this is the Flashcal and Superchips also has the Flashpack.
The Flashpack comes preloaded with a couple of different tunes for higher octane fuel
which again will allow you to get more power out of your JK.
You can always update your Flashcal and turn it essentially into a Flashpack by adding
those tunes at any point by going to the Superchips website, paying some additional money and
downloading those tunes onto this device.
These devices work by just plugging them into the OBD tube port on your JK and usually turning
the key on and off, pressing the okay button a couple of times and giving you access to
the main menu.
From there, you'll be able to make all of the adjustments to all of the different settings
that we've mentioned.
So when you get this calibrator home and take it out of the box, the first thing I recommend
is to plug it into your computer with the included USB cable, go to the Superchips website
and download the program that allows you to update this system.
From there, you'll also be able to download the free TPMS adjustment software so that
you'll be able to turn this system on and off so if you're running a larger tire with
lower tire pressure or you're offroading your air down.
You don't have to worry about having the TPMS light on your dashboard and having that annoying
dinging every time you start and turn off the Jeep.
Now the main functions of this system that most of you guys are going to use is the setting
for newer tires.
You can adjust tire size for up to a 42-inch tire.
And that's important again for a couple of different reasons.
It will make sure that your speedometer and your odometer are accurate which will also
affect the on-dash miles per gallon gauge.
But if you're an automatic transmission guy, this will also adjust to those shift points
to give you back that more stock feeling even with larger tires on the Jeep.
Another setting that will get used a lot is the gear ratio setting.
So if you've changed the axles on the Jeep or if you just regeared the factory axles,
you'll be able to change the setting in the computer for up to a 538 gear.
Which again, will make all of the adjustments for speedometer, odometer, shift points and
get everything back to as much as a factory feel as you can without adding a tune or any
power adders onto the Jeep.
So the tire size, the gear ratio, and the TPMS system on and off are the systems that
a lot of you guys are going to use the most.
But that's certainly not all this can do.
You have a lot of other options especially for the newer JKs as far as how long the interior
and exterior lights stay on after you turn off the Jeep or when you unlock or lock it.
You can also adjust whether the horn chirps when you lock and unlock the Jeep.
You'll also have the opportunity if you have a Rubicon to customize the way that you can
use those lockers all through the system.
If you have a winch on the Jeep, you can bump up your idle with this unit to give you a
little bit more amperage out of your alternator and keep the battery charged up during long
hard pulls.
All of these are very easy to change and to modify with this system, again, thanks to
the color screen and the buttons as opposed to some of the other systems on the market
that in my opinion aren't quite as easy to use.
Aside from all of those calibration options that we talked about, this system will also
read and clear check engine lights, which is a really nice feature to have.
You don't have to run out to the parts store every time you have a check engine light to
see what it is.
You can read it, clear it if you want to, all from this unit which is a really, really
nice feature to have.
All in all, I would say that this system is really fairly priced.
It gives you all of those calibration options right out of the box for under $200.
The screen and the buttons make this really easy to use.
It's really fast at updating the Jeep, and I have no issues with the user interface or
with any of the options that it gives you.
I also like the fact that this is upgradeable to essentially the Flashpack that you can
pay a little bit of additional money and download those tunes for higher octane use onto your
Jeep.
So if you decide you want a little bit more power down the line, you can always upgrade
this unit without needing to replace it.
So if you've added larger tires on to your JK, regeared or you just want options to change
a lot of the other conveniences and your TPMS system, this does all of that, and it does
it for under $200 with a really easy to use interface.
So that's my review of the Superchips Flashcal F5 working with all 2007-2016 JKs that you
can find right here at extremeterrain.com.

so I'm gonna go back to the layer mask in here
and I'm gonna press CTRL+T
and I'll adjust it more
and I'm gonna press Enter/Return
now as you can see we have this really cool effect in here
now I'll go and grab the normal picture in here
and put it just right here
and I'll delete this one for now
and I'll make it visible
and I'm gonna apply a Black layer mask again to it
so I'll press ALT
and one click to the layer mask in here
and I will go back this time, and grab a new texture
you can choose whatever texture you want
I'll go withe this one in here
and open it again in a new window
and I will take and drag it
just like that
and again I'm gonna press CTRL+T
and I will make it smaller
and I will press enter/Return
and again I'm gonna convert it to black and white
so I'm gonna press CTRL+SHIFT+U
and I will darken a little bit
so I'm gonna press CTRL+L
and this will bring the Level Adjustment

just like that
bring a little bit of the white
just like so
and I will press OK
now I need to copy it again
so I'm gonna press CTRL and one click to this texture in here
and it will load the selection again
and I'm gonna press CTRL+C to copy
and CTRL+D to deselect
and I will hide for now
and again I will go
and I will unlink
the linking between the layer mask and the image
by one click to it and it will unlink it
and I will ALT and one click to the layer mask
and as you can see this will allow me to enter the layer mask in here
now I'm gonna press CTRL+V so I can past my texture in here
and I'm gonna press CTRL+D to deselect
and I will exit the layer mask by one click to this picture
and I'm gonna select the layer mask and press CTRL+T
and I'm gonna make my texture a little bit smaller
cause I want it to be just right here
just right there
alright and I will press Enter/Return
alright
and of course you can add as many textures as you want
by doing the same steps again
and I think this looks good for an example
so I'm just gonna delete this texture in here
and I will apply
the halftone pattern that you just download in her
so I will go and choose patterns in here
and in this arrow in here
I will one click to it
and this will open the patterns that I have in here
now to load the pattern that you download
you just go to this gear icon in here
and click load
and you know load the pattern from your hard drive
and you'll find 3 halftone pattern in here
so I'll select the 1st pattern in here
and I'll make the scale 50%
and I'll press OK
now I don't want it to cover the whole image in here
so I will go and select the layer mask
and I will invert it to black
so I'm gonna select it, and go open the properties
and I'll choose invert
and as you can see this will invert it to black
now I will go to the gradient tool
and make sure your foreground color is white
and the gradient style is Radial
and I will go to the middle
and I'm just gonna
one click and hold
just like this
and then I will let go

10 Surprising Predictions For 2017 : You Will Be Shocked! - Duration: 10:21.
10 Terrifying Predictions For 2017.
2016 was a bad year.
Beloved celebrities died, terrorists massacred dozens, Aleppo was devastated, Yemen went
to Hell, North Korea detonated two nukes, and the US was divided by the nastiest election
in living memory.
Well, we've got some bad news: 2017 could be even worse.
Here's how: 10.
Italy's Banking System Collapses.
In a list of "boring-sounding things you should be worried about," an Italian banking
crisis would be number one.
For years, Italy's lenders have been chucking money at people like 2008 never happened.
Now, experts thinks those banks could finally fall.
Italy is the world's eighth largest economy.
It's also a Eurozone country, so it could bring the whole EU crashing down.
The Greek debt crisis nearly collapsed the Euro, and Greece barely edges into the top
50 global economies.
Italy going down would be like sticking a block of Semtex under the Euro and pressing
the button marked "Kaboom."
As a single entity, the EU has an economy larger than China.
If it goes, the effects on the world would be enormous.
US consumers would be hurting faster than you can say "global depression."
09.
The US And China Engage In A Trade War.
US president-elect Trump has made no bones about his plans regarding China.
He wants to slap tariffs on Chinese goods and square off against Beijing over trade.
While Beijing may back down, things could go the other way.
The US and China could wind up embroiled in a painful trade war.
This would be . . . interesting, to say the least.
China and the US trade nearly $600 billion worth of goods.
While China imports more from the US than vise-versa, the goods the US imports are harder
to source elsewhere.
So China would face bigger immediate problems, but US consumers would find themselves paying
an enormous "tax" on consumer electronics, a worrying proposition in the digital age.
Then there's the fact that China imports, assembles, and then reexports goods all over
Asia.
A damaging trade war would spill over onto Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan and mess things
up for millions.
08.
The Taliban Take Over Afghanistan (Again).
Remember the Taliban?
Like an unwanted Marvel sequel, the fanatical Islamist group has returned with an even bigger
budget.
Only instead of targeting the summer schedules, they're on the verge of overrunning all
of Afghanistan.
Nearly 150 of Afghanistan's 400 districts are already totally or partially under Taliban
control.
There's fighting in 50 more.
These are the highest numbers since 2001 and are being fueled by soaring Afghan military
and police defections.
In a manner eerily reminiscent of ISIS's 2014 rampage across Iraq and Syria, the Taliban
are recruiting their own disaffected "enemies" en masse, gaining piles of new equipment in
the process.
Currently, the US has 10,000 troops stationed in Afghanistan, but they're making very
little difference.
Unless the tide turns, it's almost certain that 2017 will be the year the Taliban retake
Afghanistan, as though that whole War on Terror thing never even happened.
07.
Marine Le Pen Is Elected President Of France.
Marine Le Pen's Front National party is currently leading in polls for France's
2017 elections.
That's not good.
Front National is a party so far right that they make General Franco look like a social
justice warrior.
The party's founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen, has repeatedly denied the Holocaust.
His earliest members were French collaborators from World War II.
He used to publish Nazi songs.
As for the charge that his party is "fascist," in 2012, his daughter, Marine, sued a socialist
politician who described Front National that way.
A French court ruled that "fascist" was a literal description of their politics.
If Le Pen becomes leader of France, it would be like Brexit on steroids.
Not only would a major European country be ruled by a neo-Nazi, but Le Pen has promised
to yank France out of the European Union.
The result—a total collapse of the EU and economic shock waves that will rock the world.
06.
North Korea Goes Full Nuclear.
North Korea is the gag nation.
While Iranian nukes worry us, North Korea acts as a punchline in Seth Rogen movies.
In truth, we may be underestimating the DPRK.
2017 could see their nuclear capability go from "scary background noise" to "terrifying
threat."
In 2016, Pyongyang carried out two nuclear tests, bringing its grand total to five.
No other nation in history has made it to five tests without perfecting a device it
can attach to a missile.
Kim has made ramping up rocket research a priority.
Crazy as it sounds, North Korea might be closer to a working, ready-to-deploy nuclear missile
than we realize.
Conservative estimates put mid-2018 as the point that North Korea reaches full nuclear
capability, but there's a chance it could be earlier.
Kim already has 20 nukes, a fleet of missiles, and a fragile ego.
For the pudgy tyrant, entering the nuclear club early would be worth any number of his
people starving.
05.
ISIS Unleashes Carnage In Europe.
In the 13 months since November 2015, ISIS and IS-inspired terrorists have killed over
260 innocent people in Europe and more if you include attacks in Turkey.
(Turkey sits in both Europe and Asia.)
Horrific as this is, it could merely be a taster of what is to come.
With ISIS's Iraq and Syria strongholds collapsing, Western jihadists are being sent back home
by the thousands, all with only one goal: to cause maximum casualties to civilians.
According to Europol, these returning fighters have been briefed to try to launch attacks
in European countries, with France, Germany, and Britain the top targets.
Scarily, it's thought that these attacks may well involve weapons of mass destruction
like sarin and anthrax.
Although many will be foiled, it would just take one successful attack to cause untold
casualties.
04.
A Crippling Cyber Attack.
On December 23, 2015, a group of hackers infiltrated and disabled three major power stations in
Western Ukraine, leaving 230,000 homes without power in the middle of a freezing winter.
It was the first major cyber attack on a power grid in history.
Scarily, far from being soft targets, those Ukrainian power stations had better cyber
protection than most US ones.
Foreign policy experts have been warning about a crippling cyber attack on vital US infrastructure
for years, but after the Ukrainian attack, those warnings have become deadly serious.
In Ukraine, power was restored after six hours by using manual backups—which US substations
lack.
If a similar attack hit the US, the power could stay out for months on end.
Such attacks are increasing in number.
In mid-2015, France's TV5 was almost destroyed by Russian hackers.
In winter 2016, Ukraine's power grid was hit again.
It may only be a matter of time before the US is targeted.
03.
Genocide In Africa And Asia.
Right now, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria are vast killing zones.
Parts of Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan are engulfed in violence, and people are still
dying in Ukraine, Mexico, and Somalia.
To this dispiriting list, 2017 may add two more countries: Myanmar (aka Burma) and the
Central African Republic (CAR).
The CAR is an ethnically divided, failing state with armed gangs roaming its countryside
and has been at boiling point for the last two years.
Observers are worried it will spill over into ethnic violence, if not outright genocide,
any day.
Myanmar, on the other hand, was meant to be a success story.
After the country transitioned to democracy after 60 years of dictatorship, it was supposed
to become a beacon of the free world.
Instead, security forces began destroying villages belonging to the Rohingya minority
and ethnically cleansing their populations.
Frighteningly, all the indicators for a potential genocide to unfold in 2017 are already in
place.
02.
A Major War.
Is 2016 the new 1913?
There are signs out there that major powers could be sucked into horrifying collisions
if things don't immediately change course.
Depending on those involved, this war could be anywhere on the scale from "locally devastating"
to "World War III."
China is one potential worry.
In recent weeks, China and the US have been squaring off over both the South China Sea
and Taiwan.
While China would be insane to directly engage the US in a war, there's nothing to stop
them from attacking minor US allies.
This could then suck in the US and NATO, much as the assassination of one middle-aged dude
in 1913 wound up sending the entire world to war.
Then there's Russia.
One former NATO deputy commander has already predicted that Moscow will annex the Baltic
states in 2017, leaving the US and EU treaty-bound to protect them.
Or maybe the recent assassination of a Russian diplomat in Turkey will bring Ankara and Moscow
toe-to-toe, a conflict that, once again, the US would be treaty-bound to get involved in.
01.
A US Insurgency.
It sounds ridiculous.
The idea that a group in the United States would arm itself and begin a violent insurgency
sounds like something from a dystopian sci-fi story.
But it's scarily plausible.
US politics are more polarized than ever.
Pew Research shows that Americans no longer trust their countrymen from the other side
of the political spectrum.
Extreme left and right groups are stirring their followers into a violent frenzy on social
media, everyone thinks the system is rigged against their group, and both sides are arming
themselves.
Throw in a super-divisive election and a president many are convinced is illegitimate, and you've
got the stage set for another civil war.
We're not saying this will definitely happen in 2017 or even at all.
Most likely, none of this will come to pass, and we'll look extremely foolish.
But the US right now is a divided, angry, and worried place.
And unless someone works to break this cycle, it could lead down a very dark path indeed.
