World War III is almost upon us according to worrying predictions made by an astrologer labelled the ‘New Nostradamus’.
Kushal Kumar is not backing down over a stark warning issued last month that a catastrophic nuclear conflict is nigh.
He claimed WWIII will break out in just four days time on June 18 – and has now reiterated that he stands by his bleak forecast.
The Indian astrologer, who foresees world events, recently predicted the increase in tensions between Israel and Hamas, Russia and Nato, North and South Korea and China and Taiwan.
While it might not take a rocket scientist to envision these escalations, Kumar claims he used the Vedic astrology chart which is based on Hindu culture to figure them out.
Using the planetary and star alignment chart said to be a ‘map of our karma’, Kumar pinpointed the exact date global conflict will erupt.
He previously told the Daily Star: ‘NOW, Tuesday, 18 June 2024 has the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WW3. although 10 and 29 June may have a say as well.’

Just days before his prediction is set to come to light, he’s doubled down on those claims.
He said: ‘It may be observed here that predictive alert for better care and appropriate strategy involves careful and serious interpretation of planetary impacts while unintended human error or slip cannot be ruled out entirely.
‘So, watch the developing war scenario in hotspots across the globe as days pass by.’
Kumar claimed the escalation between Israel and Lebanon, terror attacks in Pakistan, and North Korean soldiers crossing the demarcation line into South Korea all points towards his prophecy being accurate.

It also comes after Vladimir Putin said he’s being ‘pushed to the point of no return’ by the West over WWIII.
The Kremlin leader told foreign ministry officials: ‘Calls to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, which possesses the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons demonstrate the extreme recklessness of Western politicians.
‘They either do not understand the scale of the threat they are creating – or are simply obsessed with their own sense of impunity and exceptionalism.
‘Both can lead to tragedy.’

A professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences recently revealed to Metro.co.uk what the terrifying consequences of an all-out nuclear war would be.
Brian Toon explained how millions of people around the world could be wiped out within just hours and that survivors would be plunged into a horrifying ‘nuclear winter’.
Even prime minister Rishi Sunak warned last month that the world is closer to a dangerous nuclear escalation ‘than at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis’.
However, the head of the UK armed forces, admiral Sir Tony Radakin, insisted last week that talk of nuclear armageddon is nothing but ‘loose language’ because Nato is far too strong.
The original Nostradamus, Michel de Nostredame, was a French astrologer who published the book ‘Les Propheties’ in 1555.
The book was a collection of 942 poetic quatrains that apparently foretold future events.
Many people believe he correctly predicted the Fire of London, the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and Hitler, both world wars, 9/11 and even the death of Diana, the Princess of Wales.
He also allegedly foresaw the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 – and even guessed her age correctly.
