The astrologer claimed that a global war could start in a matter of days

No one wants to think that the entire globe will break out in battle again, but one man has claimed that there is a World War III in our near future.

Thankfully I’m not talking anyone with access to nuclear codes, but instead the claim comes from astrologer Kushal Kumar.

While Kumar is arguably a less reliable source for information on a potential upcoming World War than a politician or world leader, he does claim to have evidence on his side in the form of a Vedic astrology chart which is based on planetary and star alignments.

Using this data, Kumar claims to be able to forecast the future, and unfortunately the outlook is pretty bleak.

Kumar, who has been dubbed by some as the ‘new Nostradamus‘, alleged he has a history of correctly predicting conflicts as he previously envisaged tensions between the likes of Israel and Hamas, North and South Korea, China and Taiwan, and Russia and Ukraine.

When it comes to future, Kumar claimed that things are going to take a turn for the worse in just a matter of weeks.

He named 18 June as a potential date for the start of World War III, though warned it could actually begin as soon as next week.

Kumar told the Daily Star: “Now, Tuesday, June 18, 2024 has the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WW3 although June 10 and 29 may have a say as well.”

He also spoke about some of his past predictions as he said: “2024 was predicted to be majorly worrisome in relation to war conditions in hotspots across the world, particularly around May 8 – it was indicated carrying highest escalation in such war fronts as Koreas, China-Taiwan, the Middle East involving Israel and others in the Middle East, and Ukraine-Russia, anger of NATO could also find expression.

“Some indications of related leader or leaders in such regions having serious health concern or resigning was also indicated. Furthermore, the aviation sector and tourism was also indicated being hit hard, and alert was also sounded against conspiratorial or deceptive circumstances.

“In the light of these details, an impression gathered is that some well defined indication of alert had found a mention for better care and appropriate strategy for men who matter in countries at war, directly or indirectly.”

While Kumar is obviously banking on his predictions to maintain his success, I think it’s fair to hope that he’s wrong on this occasion.
