1. Trump launches a war against Iran.
2. Putin helps Iran track down and kill American service members.

He has predicted the activities of Russia and Putin before they went into Ukraine in 2012 and 2022, and he also has a substack newsletter. I have other sources in my posting here:

@TheViking congress has NOT voted to halt US activity today. Some parts of this posting are factually incorrect. The Burj Khalifa has not yet been hit by any weapons, but Dubai has been hit in other locations.
