So with consultation from @Arthur Marston, I thought it would be interesting to do a visual photo thread for the dystopian scenario of No W written by @Lost Freeway (who unfortunately was banned in September 2017) similar to the photo threads for World War Z, 1983: Doomsday, Fatherland, and Man in the High Castle.

Anyone is free to join. Reminder there is a three photos per day limit so as not to catch the admin's attention.

New Year's Eve Ball Drop 2000 in Times Square, New York City. As the ball dropped and the world entered a new millennium, the entire world hoped for a much peaceful 21st century now that the four-decade Cold War ended and America became the world's sole superpower. Things would seem peaceful all until one year, nine months, and 10 days later.

The captured U.S. Navy EP3-C Orion at Hainan Island after it collided with PLAAF fighter jet. The crew were detained by Chinese authorities after a forced emergency landing and were held for 11-days before being released. This incident known as the "Hainan Island incident" tested U.S.-China relations, presenting a challenge to President John McCain. However, the plane was dissected and returned by parts, in which the U.S. accused of stealing classified information from the maritime patrol plane.
