2024: The CHAOS Timeline

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Seriously doubt Zelensky would flee to a country has provided zero support to him during the war. I have to imagine he'd go to the somewhere in the Anglosphere.

It's that or America, honestly - Putin has shown his willingness and ability to assassinate enemies all over Europe - and Zelenskyy is not going to flee to a country that could be led by Trump in less than a year, as Trump would likely honor a demand from Putin to extradite him.

Israel is the only one where he has a unique protection from extradition.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Zelensky has already bought property in Israel for this eventuality, so I can easily see him escaping there.

[Yelnoc]

What pressure is Zelensky facing? The fact that hee has led his country thru a war that by this point has lasted more than 2 years and is still a stalemate shouldn't be a reason to get rid of him...

I was trying to show how the sudden stop of western military aid causes Ukraine's military effectiveness to breakdown, thereby allowing Russia to punch through the front and break the stalemate. I apologize if I failed to demonstrate that effectively. My reasoning is that Zelensky's popularity is already waning, and in this timeline where the west appears to have fully abandoned Ukraine, Zelensky quickly turns into a scapegoat for a shocked and grieving Ukrainian society.

Glad to see all the comments! I should have another update by this evening.

South Carolina Republican Primary
Saturday, February 24th, 2024
All Day, All Across South Carolina

In the end, it was not even close. Trump walloped Haley in her home state, scoring 57% of the vote to the former governor’s 42%. Trump mounted the stage in Charleston to raucous cheers from a crowd swimming in sweet smell of victory and mint julips. The former president took the opportunity to showboat a little. “She’s a loser folks, a loooser. I like to call her—should I say it? I don’t know. I don’t know if I should say. The media, they might be very unhappy with me. Should I say it? Why not, right? They’re unfair to me no matter what I say, aren’t they? Ok, I like to say, Haley—Crazy Haley—she’s Jeb Bush in heels, folks! Jeb Bush in heels and a skirt—see? See? I told you they wouldn’t like it. But it’s true, isn’t it so very true? She lost her home state! Embarrassing. Frankly, very embarrassing, you almost have to feel bad for her. You’d think she would drop out, wouldn’t you?"

Haley, meanwhile, was holding her own much more somber press conference. The fusion pick of every anti-Trump element in the party had just lost her home state, and it wasn’t even close. The polls had lied, like they always seemed to these days, and every thinking person could see her chances going into Super Tuesday were slim. So, would she bow to the inevitable? “No. No I won’t drop out. I believe every American deserves a choice, an alternative; and I intend to campaign and be on the ballot on Super Tuesday."

South Carolina Republican Primary Results
Trump – 57%
Haley –  42%
Hutchinson – 1%

*   *   *

The result in South Carolina was entirely overshadowed by a deadly attack in the West Bank. That morning as Jewish settlers in the West Bank settlement of Ma'ale Adumim congregated in synagogues to worship, a series of bombs went off. Two synagogues were simultaneously torn apart by the explosions. Early reports indicated a death toll of over one hundred with hundreds more injured, many critically.

The Al-Quds Brigades of Palestinian Islamic Jihad immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks. The organization, which historically received the bulk of its funding from Syria and Hezbollah, claimed it was motivated by solidarity with the “freedom fighters” in Gaza and Lebanon. The group declares the time for calling on the global community for assistance has passed, referencing the failure of the UN to alleviate the suffering of the starving and disease-ridden population of the Gaza strip. Instead, the PJI declares that the “faithful” must take the fight to Israel, calling for the opening of “additional fronts.”

The Israeli government interprets the attack and statement as an indication that future strikes in the West Bank are imminent and responds by immediately declaring a military operation to “regain control” of the West Bank. A complex military reshuffle begins as a third front is opened in Israeli’s war. Meanwhile, the question that hangs over everything is the extent of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s involvement in the attack. Was a fourth front imminent? Neither Israel nor Syria made any immediate public statements to clarify their positions via-a-vis each other.
Sunday, February 25th: Congress passes an aid bill for Israel with no strings attached and sends it to the President for her signature. The opposition from both dovish liberals and isolationist conservatives against a “clean” Israeli aid bill melted away in the aftermath of yesterday’s deadly terror attack—from which casualties have climbed to over 150 dead. President Harris promptly but quietly signed the bill into law. The sole and loudest voice of opposition to the aid package in government is Michigan Representative Radhida Tlaib, who in an explosive press conference accuses the President of the United States of signing off on a “genocide” against the Palestinian people.

Israel begins military action in the West Bank, including bombing campaigns. As expected, the terrorist attack appears to have shored up domestic support for Netanyahu’s unity government, which earlier in the month appeared to be wavering as the reporting regarding the depths of humanitarian suffering in Gaza began to weigh on the consciences of Israeli voters. The nascent moves from the Israeli left towards demanding a ceasefire are put on hold as attention shifts to the devastation in the Ma'ale Adumim settlement. On the Israeli right, radical or “extremist” viewpoints begin to gain currency—including the position that all of Palestine must be annexed and the bulk of Palestinian people forcibly expelled from a “United Israel.”

In both Gaza and Lebanon, the offensive into the West Bank provides Hamas and Hezbollah with much needed breathing room. In the week leading up the terrorist attack, Hamas had been on the verge of begin starved out of its northern pockets. The temporary halt to Israeli ground opportunities and lightening of the bombing campaign allowed resupply efforts through the byzantine tunnel network to resume. Meanwhile in Lebanon, Hezbollah’s defensive positions had begun to crumble as its missile stockpiles were drawn down by nearly two months of continuous fighting. Now, Hezbollah has the opportunity to reformulate their defensive structure. Meanwhile, much needed supplies are able to flow east across the border from Syria, facilitated by Iran’s IRGC.

Meanwhile, elections in Belarus and Senegal reconfirm the power of the ruling parties. In carefully managed parliamentary elections, President Lukashenko’s Belaya Rus Party retains its overwhelming majority. Meanwhile, Senegal’s ruling coalition United in Hope successfully steered their candidate, Prime Minister Amadou Ba, into the Presidency. Elections had originally been scheduled to take place in Iraqi Kurdistan today as well, but these were delayed again, with a provisional date set for March 31st, pending additional conflicts with Iraq’s Independent High Electoral Commission.
Monday, February 26th: Iraqi Shi’ite militias carry out another coordinated assault on US bases. Multiple US service members are killed. The US retaliates with airstrikes. The US, in combination with its task-force partners France and the UK, also launches airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen after a week of persistent Houthi assaults on both shipping and military vessels in the Red Sea.

Jordan officially protests the Israeli invasion of the West Bank, warning that they would not allow Palestinians to be “pushed across” the Jordan River. Mass political demonstrations by both Palestinian refugees and Jordanian citizens are held in Amman in opposition to the Israeli incursion. The Jordanian government is compelled to disperse these demonstrations with force due to their size and militancy. One western analyst remarks on cable television that Jordan, a small country with a massive refugee population and massive youth unemployment problem, looks like a “powder keg amid a shower of sparks.”
Tuesday, February 27th: The Michigan Democratic primaries are the first to feature Kamala Harris’s name in place of Joe Biden’s. Luckily for the president, Michigan’s unique electoral laws allow the secretary of state to list all candidates “generally advocated by the national news media to be potential presidential candidates.” Thus, after Biden’s removal, it was a relatively simple matter to replace the name of the 46th president with that of the 47th. Harris’s main rival appears to be Marianne Williamson. Fueled by an activist left exhausted by war and buoyed by the presence of a large Muslim immigrant population in Michigan, Williamson has thrown all of her energy into the state. In the final week, she secured to the key endorsement of Congresswoman Tlaib, who has taken to campaigning for the liberal dark horse, headlining a final campaign event in Dearborn the day before the election.

Michigan Democratic Primary Results
Williamson – 39%
Harris – 37%
Phillips – 24%

Harris suffers a shock defeat as progressive and Muslim voters desert her en mass for Marianne Williamson. Meanwhile, she suffers serious deflections on her right flank as a disparate coalition of voters search for a more “serious alternative” as Harris’s high-profile series of gaffes circulate the media and a sense that she is over her head in the middle east settles in. The surprise beneficiary of this energy is the only other person on the ballot, minor congressman Dean Phillips, who leaned into the current by refocusing his campaign on calling for a muscular foreign policy in defense of Israel and international shipping—he points to the continued Houthi attacks on Red Sea cargo vessels as a key driver behind the sudden surge of inflation which has begun to settled in across the US in Q1’2024.

Michigan Republican Primary Results
Trump – 64%
Haley –  32%
Hutchinson – 4%

The Michigan Republican primaries received far fewer press attention. Trump won, as expected, with Haley largely ignoring the primary in favor of an apparent last-stand on Super Tuesday. Asa Hutchinson (“also-ran Hutchinson” according to one cable TV wit) saw his numbers melt upward slightly from the 1-2% he had scored in early contests, a fact hardly anybody notes.
Wednesday, February 28th: Williamson is flooded with small-dollar donations after her Michigan victory in a manner reminiscent of Bernie Sanders fundraising campaigns. Suddenly, Oprah’s former spirituality guru appears to be a serious contender for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. Her campaign launches a last-minute series of rallies and events in Super Tuesday states. These have very little planning or oversight from her shoe-string campaign staff, and so fringe elements like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) manage to hijack certain events, strategically placing their signage and even taking over the microphone in certain cases to vocalize far-left positions in favor of Palestine and against Israel (e.g. the “from the river to the sea” chants).

As American activists chant “from the river to the sea,” the Israeli army reaches the river, solidifying Israeli control in a corridor running from the Mediterranean through Israel to the border with Jordan and bringing a number of key Israeli settlements behind the front. Now, the Palestinian segments of the West Bank are divided from each other into northern and southern quarters. Palestinian armed resistance in the West Bank was token at best, the advance taking three days more for the sake of caution then in the face of serious resistance.

The Iraqi parliament again raises the demand of complete US withdrawal from their country. The Harris administration sticks to Biden’s position, that the US is willing to make certain concessions but must maintain control of key installations, such as the al-Asad airbase in Iraq’s western al-Anbar province. Meanwhile, protests in Amman against King Abdullah II’s failure to take a more strident anti-Israeli stance begin to take a more dangerous tone with some activists calling for his abdication in favor of his 29-year-old son Hussein, who himself is part-Palestinian through his mother’s lineage. The capitol of Amman continues to be rocked by riots and shrouded in tear gas.

I really hope this ends up being a Marianne vs. Trump 269-269 electoral college tie or something

Hi everyone! With the middle east conflict spiraling towards the multi-front war I outlined in this timeline, I have lost my appetite for continuing this project. Instead, I would like to outline in bare bones form my sketch for 2024 (with maximum chaos, as befit the timeline's name).

• Trump cruises to the Republican nomination after a brief scare from Nikki Haley, who drops out after a dismal Super Tuesday performance. In the spring, Trump appears in a commanding position to win the White House over floundering Harris.
• The middle east conflict continues to widen, toppling heads of state in Jordan and Egypt. Threat of military intervention by Egypt's new dictator, Maj. General Emad Al-Ghazali, forces Israel to come to the negotiating table and prevents an all-out war in the middle east.
• No Labels declines to run a candidate, citing earlier statements that they would only participate in a Biden vs. Trump contest. Thus ends speculation that Joe Manchin would launch a third party bid, letting Democratic operatives breathe a massive sigh of relief.
• The first massively lethal wet bulb events devastates India. In May, in the midst of India's general elections, a heatwave of unprecedented magnitude suffocates a densely populated segment of the Ganges river valley. The strain of a million AC units crashes the power grid locally, killing hundreds of thousands of people in the unlivable mid-day heat.
• Rumors immediately circulate through Indian social media that devious Muslims and/or agents of Pakistan were responsible for the failure of the power grid. So begins a series of escalations between India and Pakistan that leads to war in June, a war that quickly becomes a massive nuclear exchange.
• President Harris stumbles to the nomination, despite unreasonably strong challenges from gadflies Williamson and Phillips and the horrors of nuclear war on the subcontinent. Efforts by elements of the party to airlift in alternatives like California Governor Newsom or Hillary Clinton are obviated by Harris's slim first ballot majority.
• President Harris is assassinated. The assassins are linked to Pakistani intelligence, who evidently blame the United States (and America's first Indian president) for failing to reign in Modhi's government. With Congress still not having approved her pick for Vice President, Speaker of the House Mark Green ascends to the White House, becoming the 48th President of the United States. Republicans now have a mere 1-vote majority in the House (until his successor arrives in Washington).
• The DNC selects Harris's running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, to lead the top of the ticket after her assassination. For his running mate, they pick former UN Ambassador Susan Rice.
• Donald Trump is found guilty on all charges in the DC 2020 election case. The Supreme Court takes until October to rule on all appeals, upholding the decision and affirming that per its ruling in Anderson v. Griswold, Trump is now ineligible to run for office due to having been found in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
• The Trump-controlled RNC reacts to the ruling in the most baffling, yet simultaneously most on-brand way possible. Arguing that the ruling only effects his name appearing on ballots that voters will use and that electors can still vote for Trump if they choose, the party declines to pick a new nominee with only a few weeks left and instead goes all in on a "electors" strategy, working to convince Republican-controlled legislatures to appoint Trump-voting elector slates, whatever the outcome of the popular vote. This is, of course, in clear opposition to the recent SCOTUS ruling.
• There are no debates held between Trump, Walz, or high-polling RFK Jr. during the fall. Polling is extremely useless, but signs in the week before the election point to pending massive over-performances by every third party candidate with ballot access.
• The 2024 election produces a paradoxical result. Democratic candidate Tim Walz wins in an electoral landslide, despite receiving less than 50% of the popular vote. RFK Jr. is next best, easily clearing 33% nationally. And yet, the remaining 20% of the votes is split a million different ways, with Libertarian, Green, Constitution, and regional/state parties massively over-performing all historical records. Also, Donald Trump became the highest vote-getting write-in Presidential candidate in history. However, due to varying ballot access rules, the distribution of these third parties vote shares, and thus of the margin of Walz's victories, varied massively by state. 2024 is the strangest looking map since, perhaps, 1824.
• Despite Walz's crushing electoral victory, outside the Presidential ticket, Democrats massively underperformed. Harris was generally blamed for allowing a horrific nuclear exchange in Asia, one which killed millions, plunged the climate in crisis, the global food supply into famine, and the economy into shambles. Her getting assassinated hadn't done much to repair her image among voters. And so the Democratic Party was punished, badly. It probably did not help that most people thought Trump's strategy was a non-starter, and thus that there was no harm in splitting tickets between a Democratic president and Republican congress people. So the Democrats got washed, and the Republicans gained majorities in both chambers.
• The Republican strategy after the popular vote in November is simple. Get enough republican-controlled states to certify bogus/patriotic electors. Have the House recognize those electors. Then, with Walz's majority lost, have the House vote by state, in accordance with the 12th amendment, between Walz, RFK Jr, and Trump
• Did it work? Honestly, I hadn't decided yet. I was going to go really in-depth in all the results and then decide, based on who was elected, how Fraudulent Electors II: Electric Boogaloo was going to play out. What do you guys think would happen??

[Steve from Lambeth]

This is why, if I ever write a 2024 timeline, I will set the point of divergence at something handwavey and distant like the Beatles having to call off their Ed Sullivan appearance or Nixon delivering on his promised deal for South Vietnam. The world will have butterflied so much as to be unrecognisable; I get to make up characters that don't really exist while having it look all realistic; everybody will have strong opinions and authentic voices.

I don't think the Republican Party's love of Donald Trump - even in CHAOS world - would be strong enough to convince them to elevate him to the Presidency again, instead of renominating Green. Green can still serve two full terms and doesn't have major legal question marks over his head.
