Pope -> NK Nuke -> State of the Union Speech....what do you expect for 2013?

I find it a bit strange, first the Pope resigns, then NK launches a nuke and all just in time for the speech of the president?

Obama's speech tonight will be intresting and maybe give away some outlook of things to come. He's got his back to the wall when it comes to his homeland politics (unemployment, healthcare, gun laws, children on medication, loss of freedom etc.), so it's gonna be intresting to hear about his foreign policy regarding the middle east, Iran and North Korea.

History has shown that is is usually what a US president does when his homeland issues hit the fan, he starts a war at the other end of the world to distract from the problems in his own country.

Given the recent events, what do you think will happen next and for the rest of 2013?
