< viewing '2370: The Middle East Resource War - The New Plague'

Event:

A brutal and prolonged conflict erupts in the Middle East over dwindling natural resources, 
particularly oil and water. The war leads to widespread devastation and the introduction of 
a catastrophic biochemical weapon that triggers a new plague, Launched by Russia. The plague 
kills millions before it is brought under control, significantly reducing the global population.

Details:

Decades of over-extraction, environmental degradation, and climate change have severely depleted 
the Middle East's natural resources. Water sources are drying up, and oil reserves are becoming 
harder to access and less profitable. Add the fact that Long-standing political and sectarian 
rivalries, compounded by the desperate need for resources, begin to ignite tensions between 
regional powers and militant groups.

Key regional powers, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey, are heavily involved in the conflict, 
each seeking to secure their resource needs and regional dominance. Various militant groups and 
terrorist organizations exploit the chaos to gain control over resource-rich areas and assert their 
influence. Global powers such as the United States, Russia, and China become directly involved, 
providing support to different factions to protect their strategic interests.

Facing setbacks in conventional military engagements and aiming to secure a decisive advantage, 
Russia develops a biochemical weapon in secret. This weapon is engineered to incapacitate enemy 
forces and destabilize opposing factions by introducing a virulent pathogen into the environment. 
Russian operatives release the biochemical weapon during The Middle East Resource War. The pathogen 
is dispersed through contaminated water supplies and aerosol methods, targeting both military bases 
and densely populated urban areas.

	> The New Plague
		The biochemical weapon triggers an outbreak of a new, highly contagious plague. The pathogen 
		is a hybrid virus-bacteria that spreads rapidly through water and air, causing severe 
		respiratory and systemic infections. Infected individuals experience high fevers, severe 
		coughing, internal bleeding, and multi-organ failure. The mortality rate is extremely high, 
		especially without immediate medical intervention. The plague spreads quickly beyond the 
		initial deployment areas, affecting neighboring countries and eventually reaching other 
		continents through refugees and international travel.

		
	> The Aftermath
		Fear and panic grip the global population. Countries close their borders, and international 
		travel is severely restricted. Governments worldwide face backlash for their handling of the 
		crisis. Some regimes collapse under the pressure, while others resort to draconian measures 
		to maintain control.

		The plague caused a significant reduction in the global population, particularly in the Middle 
		East and other severely affected regions. The loss of life has far-reaching social and economic 
		impacts.

		With a reduced population and decreased industrial activity, some natural environments begin to 
		recover. However, the war and pandemic also leave behind significant environmental damage and 
		contamination.
