Have you seen what ants do to anything with electricity? They love to nest in protected spaces with warmth and short out electrical circuitry. We would be back in the stone age in no time. If they start with the power grid leading to the chemical plants, we would be defenseless.

Nuclear power stations would be vulnerable. We would be facing giant radioactive ant nests, fire would only make them release radioactive particles into the atmosphere, alternative measures would need to be taken. I'm not even certain that projectiles would be effective at that size.

You have just realized your prophecy. The radiation would turn the ants into giants.
