Plankton will FINALLY steal the recipe for a Krabby Patty!!!
Seriously:
The US will establish a 'permanent' presence in the Middle East. Probably occupy Bahrain or some other Persian Gulf island but think Okinawa...
Oil will drop below $35 US / barrel. (What? you say!)
California will experience another large earthquake (>7.0 on the Richter).
The US and China will strain relationships taking each close to military conflict (involving Korea in some way).
A US passenger airliner will be shot down by terrorists (not blown up but shot down).
