'New Indian Nostradamus' predicts World War III to start tomorrow: Here's what it means

An Indian astrologer, hailed as the 'new Nostradamus,' has been making headlines with a bold and alarming prediction: that World War III is set to begin tomorrow, June 18, 2024. As improbable as it sounds, Kushal Kumar has a track record that lends weight to his forecast. Recently, he accurately predicted the surge in tensions between Israel and Hamas, Russia and NATO, North and South Korea, and China and Taiwan.

Just last month, Kushal Kumar issued a dramatic warning: a catastrophic nuclear conflict is imminent.

He confidently declared that World War III will break out on June 18, and he's sticking to his grim prediction. 

This Indian astrologer, known for his foresight on global events, recently nailed the rise in tensions between Israel and Hamas, Russia and NATO, North and South Korea, and China and Taiwan.

Kumar claims he used the Vedic astrology chart, rooted in Hindu culture, to determine the timeline. 

By analysing the alignment of planets and stars—a 'map of our karma'—he pinpointed the exact date of the global conflict's eruption.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Kumar emphasised, "Tuesday, June 18, 2024, has the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WW3, although June 10 and 29 might also play a role."

He further pointed to escalating incidents, like clashes between Israel and Lebanon, terror attacks in Pakistan, and North Korean soldiers crossing into South Korea, as evidence supporting his prophecy. 

This follows Vladimir Putin's claim that the West is pushing him to the brink of World War III.

Drawing comparisons to the original Nostradamus, Michel de Nostredame, a French astrologer whose 1555 book 'Les Propheties' is believed to have predicted major historical events, Kumar's predictions have captured global attention.

Nostradamus is credited with foreseeing events like the Fire of London, the rise of Napoleon and Hitler, both world wars, 9/11, and even the death of Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II. 

Now, the world watches with bated breath to see if Kumar's chilling prophecy will come true.
