The Crisis has 8 years to run, and the cosmic cycles could not be clearer that danger of a shooting war lies ahead in circa 2025. This usually happens toward the end of the 4th turning. Can a pattern be broken that has held so clearly? Maybe, but I would not assume this yet.
I blame Reagan for this ideology, and yes indeed it is a large part of the Crisis. It's not over though.
We may not agree on the timeline, but we do on the causes and potential resolutions. My fear, and I haven't wavered on this, is the failure to resolve anything more than the most mundane crisis issues, and leaving the rest to the next saeculum. Personally, I see a real potential for chaos but not for war.
I am usually right on timelines and major events, thanks to my inside cosmic knowledge; but not always. Rhythms repeat, and then sometimes they end or beat more softly. The indications are pretty stark though. We'll see
More reply: I think indeed the rest of the 4T will be about resolving, or starting to resolve, the mundane crisis issues, but that's a huge challenge. If we can start to reverse the climate crisis with new international agreements and more regulations everywhere with teeth and western support, defeat the Republican attacks both on democracy and on our health, and even help to reverse the advance of tyranny worldwide, and a partial victory in Afghanistan too against Al Qaeda in case of renewed terrorist attacks, while still avoiding a world war, that will be huge heavy-lifting.
I think what Monbiot describes as the new narrative involves changes very much like what I predicted in my books for the next Awakening era, especially in its early years. The environmentalism will be taken much further, affecting our lifestyles, with much more focus on community action and creating more belonging and better design of our cities and lands. This kind of new narrative would in this 4T be like a guiding star, but without much real progress toward its ultimate goals until The Awakening. But this won't be possible if the "mundane issues" fail in this 4T, and right now they are failing.
