There are a lot predictions about what will happen. Enough have been made that some will end up being true. Those who made such predictions will be looked upon as insightful. People will ask for their predictions/insights in some future event based on being correct this time. Sort of like how people ask Bill Gates what it takes to be very successful in business. The real answer is whatever he says plus lots of luck.

No one knows how this will play out. Those who really know what is going on won’t speak truthfully about it until after the event has played itself out. What we read is now is guesswork and, for lack of a better term, propaganda.
