• Violence erupts, possibly leading to outright war.  Resolution though violence is possible, as history has shown many times.
  

There is also the "fifth horseman" to Walter Schiedel's Four, financial/economic collapse. See the paper I posted most recently on the FB group.

Good point, and not dissimilar to the GD in the last 4T.  That's almost violence-by-other-means.  I guess I'll miss your paper, because I avoid FB like the plague.

Avoid FB? You're so smart
