As if we didn't have enough on our plates with the cost of living and coming off the back of the pandemic, we're apparently due another world war.
At least, that's according to an astrologer who predicts the next global conflict will last a whole nine years and tips China to be one of the major countries responsible for kicking off the conflict.
This is coming from Cuban astrologer Mhoni Vidente, who shares her predictions on the internet and is tipping the world to slide into a war 'every human being is going to lose'.

Rather than reading people's horoscopes or making vague predictions about the future, she reckons the current war between Russia and Ukraine would spiral out of control and suck in more nations.
At present Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a conflict limited to the current participants, though Nato countries have been supporting the Ukrainian armed forces with weapons and material.
Direct military intervention has been off the table, as Nato does not want to end up in a situation where nuclear power Russia is at war with Nato nuclear countries such as the US, UK and France.

Currently living in Mexico, the 44-year-old astronomer predicts Vladimir Putin will rope in other countries as allies and escalate the conflict while predicting other parts of the world will also see tensions rise.
She said: "There is someone behind all this power. South Korea, which is very involved with the United States and is being a world leader in all ways, wants to stay with Vietnam, North Korea and Japan.
"China, the red dragon is going to do everything possible to defeat the United States, to provoke the third world war.
"A bomb is coming, a missile is coming. Every human being is going to lose."

If war does break out she's not predicting a happy outcome for her current country of residence, as she said Mexico was 'easy to invade' and would be a place from which to threaten the US.
As Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues with little apparent sign of an ending in sight, there are actually rising tensions in other parts of the world.
China has been conducting military drills around Taiwan in a provocative move against the island nation it claims is a part of its territory and should be reintegrated, by force if necessary.

So there you have it, apparently we should enjoy the turbulent times we currently live in as before long we'll be plunged into a third world war lasting nine years.
Cheery stuff.
