‘New Nostradamus’ isn’t backing down — still predicts World War III is just days from now

He dropped a bombshell.

An Indian astrologer dubbed “New Nostradamus” is predicting the start of World War III is mere days away.

“NOW, Tuesday, 18 June 2024 has the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WW3,” Kushal Kumar told The Daily Star, doubling down on a May prediction after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash.

On Thursday, Kumar rattled off a series of current, disturbing events justifying his claim in another post to Medium.

World on the brink

First, Kumar cited a recent terror attack that targeted and killed nine Hindu pilgrims in the Himalayas while injuring 33 others.

Next, he referenced that shots were fired at the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea when troops from the north crossed into the DMZ on Sunday.

Thirdly, Kumar cited that the conflict in Israel has escalated as Hezbollah forces in Lebanon recently barraged rockets at the Jewish state in retaliation for the death of a commander.

Then he pointed out that, in a maneuver uncomfortably reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Russia has been sending warships, including a nuclear submarine, to Havana.

And, to top it all off, China has been administering war drills off Taiwanese shores, worrying US officials.

“Watch the developing war scenario in hotspots across the globe as days pass by,” Kumar wrote.

Flexible scenario

He added that June 29 might also be doomsday; the Nostradamus knockoff previously predicted June 10, which came to pass.

Even if WWIII doesn’t come to pass in a matter of days, state officials warn it is a serious concern.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization warned a few months ago that a war with Russia in the next 20 years may be inevitable.

The Doomsday Clock, a representation of how close the planet is to nuclear war, was also set its closest to midnight — 90 seconds away — for a second year in a row.
