World War 2 still remains the biggest event in modern history despite the world population exploding since then. Are we due for another event of that magnitude in our lifetimes?

I think thee number one problem is interest rates going parabolic.
you just can't print $ for infinity. I think our financial system collapses at some point. not in our lifetime.
ai isn't the savior we thought. we gonna smack into hard times. instead of going insolvent, autocratic regimes going ape.
nuclear is an easy quick option. (reset). I don't think we going there. no rational human chooses a dead end. Even if they do, they removed from the planet immediately.
You complain about gender, race, politics, just silly stuff. We aren't taking care of the pie. Pie first. u saw what almost 10% interest rate did. just u wait...

1. A huge electromagnetic event that takes out the global IT infrastructure.
2. Matrix like skill uploads into the human brain.
3. An openly gay US president (Emphasis on open. Filmore, Grant, and Obama don't count.)
4. Unification of the Korean peninsula.
5. A Euro like, crypto based, Asian currency backed by China, India, and Japan that replaces the USD

China could call their debt, invade North America and annex the United States within our lifetimes. It could happen as soon as the 2030's.
I think the first part is possible, but there would be in need to invade. We would end up being a defacto slave state without one bomb being dropped or one bullet fired.
Scientists discover how to reverse aging human cells back to youthful levels, probably through some type of stem cell treatment, effectively making humans immortal, except for trauma, accidents, rare genetic flaws, etc.

This is very realistic. Both the Obama and Trump administration have tried to pass measures to eliminate this threat but private companies and investors won’t allow. Neither Biden or Harris are making an attempt towards this. All China or Russia has to do is set off an EMP bomb off by our satellites that hover above North America. The way the magnetic field works above the US, everything could be wiped out. They already have satellites that intersect nearby. This would ruin the electrical grid, and all electronics that aren’t protected (not military and federal government, they are).
Once the population dies of dehydration and starvation, they attack all military personnel so they can proceed to use our natural resources. Using a nuclear device would eliminate any option to use our materials and infrastructure so that’s out of the picture.

Yes, but it is super expensive. So only the super rich become immortal. Everyone else is left to live short lives in service of the new overlords.
