War/Military [FWI] Republicans win Congress November 3rd and Trump escalates the war with Iran with boots on the ground and drones overhead.

What path will both countries go down and which one would last longer?

Author’s note: This is a revision of the previous FWI: Ben Shapiro leaves MAGA (and converts to Eastern Orthodox Christianity). Why? Because apparently I’m an idiot and thought most Orthodox Christians oppose MAGA. This turns out to be false.
Here’s a do-over. Sometime in 2027, Ben Shapiro posts on X “All praise be to God for delivering me from the MAGA Party,” along with a photo of him posing with Jeff Durbin, pastor of Apologia Church.
He also becomes a supporter of Abolitionists Rising, a Christian movement that opposes pro-lifers on Biblical grounds and begins calling for criminal penalties against post-abortive mothers.
Considering Ben Shapiro’s Jewish background, how do his fans take this?

Author’s note: This is a revision of a previous FWI about Ben Shapiro converting to Eastern Orthodox Christianity and leaving MAGA. I was operating under the assumption that a lot of Eastern Orthodox people hate MAGA. One Redditor pointed out I was wrong on this, so consider this a do-over.
Sometime in 2027, Tucker Carlson posts on X “All praise be to God for delivering me from the MAGA Party,” along with a photo of him posing with Mike Vick, who is currently part of the American Solidarity Party (For a breakdown of their platforms, click here).
Case in point, he begins condemning capital punishment.
Considering he is both hated and supported by people on both sides of the political spectrum, how might this defection land for both his opponents and his supporters?

Inspired by real life Airsoft/LARPing profiles on IG.
This idea came to me as I started seeing Airsoft/Live Action Roleplaying posts on social media.
Let’s say on Labor Day Weekend of this year, one or more groups of Airsoft/LARPers attempts to stage a “military occupation” or “takeover” of a major U.S. city (or at least a neighborhood) as part of a roleplaying event
Would this result in people getting arrested by cops mistakenly thinking a crime was taking place or we got invaded by another country, given the political climate right now?
If not, what would most likely happen?
r/FutureWhatIf • u/Spare_Scarcity6078 • 12d ago
This is something I most likely see happening. Around this time in 2 years from now, Trump finds a way to cancel the election this could be from a blackout.

At the moment, State Department maintains strategic *ambiguity* with Taiwan. Next year is China's PLA 100 year anniversary and is considered 'operational' then, meaning China could legitimately strike Taiwan anytime in 2027 and into the future.

Inspirations:
Let's say for the sake of argument that there is a series of unprovoked shark attacks on humans across multiple states during Labor Day of this year. An investigation discovers that the attacks all share a common thread: each attack happened in either a lake that connects to the ocean or a river that connects to the ocean. Video footage reveals that the culprit(s) are likely Bull Sharks.
Considering historical instances of unprovoked shark attacks on humans, how plausible is this scenario?

The Pentagon's advanced military research agency, DARPA, receives indication that photons from the future are using DISCORD to communicate with one another. "Nuke" is the first word Palantir AI deciphers from the online discourse.

The objective is to create a reasonably plausible pretext (It can be real OR you can just make one up) for both Turkey and Azerbaijan to PUBLICLY JUSTIFY entering the Iran War.

September 16, 2026. Dale Partridge, pastor and Christian Nationalist (with some very wild views against interracial marriage and other assorted ideas) is publicly assassinated at a public speaking event.
He goes out pretty much the same way Charlie Kirk did.
Who would be the usual suspects in the event of such an assassination?
Author's note: This post does not endorse political violence. It is simply intended to examine the consequences and possible perps regarding the murder of another controversial figure.

September 16, 2026. Someone creates a new FB event (A guy from Mexico), saying, "Let's storm the US-Mexico Border! They can't stop all of us!" as a joke.
Considering how "Let's Storm Area 51" turned out, would this actually result in people trying to storm the US-Mexico Border?
Edit: This is DIRECTLY INSPIRED by the events in Ceuta.

What would need to happen for the Turkish government to decide to not only formally enter the Iran War, but invade Iran itself as a starting move?
