Do they specify exactly what qualifies as a successful apocalyptic prediction?

In particular they count a US civil war as an apocalyptic event… lots of countries and societies have been completely wiped out, though, which must(?) be more apocalyptic.

Maybe the point of the site is just that apocalypses tend to happen unexpectedly?

Yea im not sure how a civil war in the United States would affect me as an European... It certainly would, but I'd survive. Isn't the whole point of apocalyptic events to not survive them?

Without US involvement in your Eastern flank, it might get tougher.

Europe would curb stomp Russia in a conventional war even without the US.

Ten times the GDP, three times the population and our military stuff mostly works, Ukraine has done a phenomenal job with what they had but Russia turned out to be even more of a Basket case than expected.

The problem is how much damage they can do before we put them back in their box and whether getting the shit kicked out of them would triggger a nuclear exchange which would get really out of hand.

I think Comrade Krasnov is too busy purging his own country of dissidents to care; we are on our own on this one.

And what exactly is apocalyptic? Suppose someone finds a dinosaur killer and there is a successful deflection mission. I would have no problem calling that apocalyptic.
