the hollow reality of corporate American incompetence becomes apparent in consequences and the world order shifts to nuclear in the first use of a weapon since WW2 used against NK.
the true weapon of mass destruction begins with the 80% effective AI drone with a price tag of less than $1000 each and by far the most cost effective killing machine in human history.

India invades Pakistan as Pakistan collapses

Unlikely. China will start attacking from the East and India can't fight a two front war.

Of course I'm assuming our current supreme leader to not be a totally delusional fuckwad.
