All of us who have been paying attention to the news know there are six conflicts going on right now, ordered here in order of current intensity...

  1. Russia VS Ukraine

  2. Israel VS Palestine

  3. Ethiopia VS Eritrea

  4. Venezuela VS Guyana

  5. China VS Taiwan

  6. India VS Pakistan

One might ask anyone about the first two and it's pretty well-established at this point, but go all out and it's, well, perplexing for a lack of a better word.

How do you make sense of your perspective to all of these side-by-side?

I'm stressed about the possibility of WW3 breaking out, since every day it seems like one of our backed allies get us dragged further into these conflicts. I have nightmares that Niki Haley is voted in as our first female president and we immediately start a hot war with Iran/Russia/China.

Just want to mention the Xinjiang conflict and Rohingya genocide. Or are these not include because it's not nation vs nation? Just curious.

Correct, non-international conflicts tend to fit more loosely into the sphere of conflict.
