=== 2020s ===
The Russo-Ukrainian War ends just as suddenly as it started when Russia detonated a tactical nuke in Odessa after prolonged protracted situations on the front. In response, NATO starts conventional bombing campaigns against Russian army and fleet while the Anonymous hacker group unleashed their "ultimate ace card" against Russia, causing sustained worldwide panic not unlike the infamous 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast. Putin is eventually ousted by a coup d'etat. In the meantime, encyclopedia platform Wikipedia has been revealed as having numerous scandals and incidents which massively decreased its global credibility. Eventually, Wikipedia is replaced by other better platforms just like how Facebook did with Myspace.
