    What causes concern:

    • Multiple large-scale wars in several parts of the world at the same time.
    • Countries with nuclear capacity are involved in most of them.
    • Nuclear treaties are deteriorating.
    • These wars can be seen as motivating others to be bolder in their actions (China regarding Taiwan, India regarding Jammu/Kashmir).
    • Justification for current wars is lacking at best. Often it’s about saving face, holding on to power or staying out of prison.
    • Rules-based order is coming to an end. The only decisive factor is strength and posturing.
    • Rules of engagement are non-existent.

      The goal right now is most likely to antagonize a strike in order to pull war act pauses on election, distract, and enact martial law

        Many of the current world leaders seem to have taken a liking to perpetual war. Makes a lot of money for those who have their fingers in the right pies, and keeps them in power indefinitely.
