North Korea will bomb Vladivostok to smithereens (if the rocket doesn't explode on the launchpad) over the Russian Army's negligent treatment of NK "volunteers" and use of them as human fodder, perhaps just for the sake of their own amusement.
China (PRC) will probably make bolder moves toward assimilating Taiwan this winter, during the transition from Biden to Trump. I don't think Trump has any hotels in Taiwan, so what would be in it for him to defend that independent, sovereign, self-ruling island?
As for me, I will try to avoid going for an annual medical checkup, because in my view that's really just volunteering to give away my personal sovereignty and let other people (no matter how well-intended) get into my personal business and try to take charge of my life.
Plus, at age 65 and given certain trends in motion, it's probably really a toss-up whether I die of cancer, a heart attack, a grocery-store mass slaughter, bird/cat flu, getting crushed by space debris, or whatever -- but (perhaps surprisingly, even to myself) I don't imagine I will die of pessimism or despair.
