Regional war brewing in the Middle East, regional war in Ukraine and soon-to-be war in the South China Sea. We are entering the era of conflict once again. No matter what Pinker with his nonsense has claimed, what really occured since WWII is that we had a lull similar to the relative peace after 1815. (Shattered, of course, by WWI’s guns of August.)
The world is busily getting back on track for some major incidents of slaughter and suffering on a scale not seen since 1945. It’s pretty much baked in now. And just wait till the AMOC collapses and so does India. Dang, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
