Mapped: Where are the World’s Ongoing Conflicts Today?

In 2021, we live in a time of relative peace, however, as this map reveals, that does not mean there are no conflicts in the world today.

Look at the vast number of conflicts around the world. There are no open/hot conflicts between 2 countries and the threat of war btw 2 countries is low. The only real warm conflict is Israel vs Palestine, which let’s be honest it is much more of a civil war with smaller flare ups and terrorist acts then an open hot way. The other potential conflicts are territory disputes: Armenia and Azerbaijan; Russia and Ukraine; and China with its neighbors

The threat of open war btw 2 countries is at it’s lowest point in human history. Even in Africa and the Middle East the threat of war is tiny.

Economies all over the world are growing and seeing progress and this includes Africa and Latin America. In fact according to Nasdaq, the fastest growing economies in the world are Guyana, South Sudan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Benin, Myanmar, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and China! Most on this list are in Africa. As the economies grow, violence decrea

So the question remains why is the media/government so hell bend on dividing us and making it appear like the world is a more dangerous place?

I don’t think so. Not when you have a huge imperialist military run out of a corrupt capitol on the Potomac. War with China or Russia could break out at any moment.

The Christmas Truce of 1914 – Why There Is Still No Peace On Earth​

In fact, the War Party entrenched in the nation’s capital is dedicated to economic interests and ideological perversions that guarantee perpetual war. These forces ensure endless waste on armaments; they cause the inestimable death and human suffering that stems from 21st-century high-tech warfare; and they inherently generate terrorist blowback from those upon whom the War Party inflicts its violent hegemony.

Worse still, Washington’s great war machine and teeming national security industry is its own agent of self-perpetuation. When it is not invading, occupying and regime changing, its vast apparatus of internal policy bureaus and outside contractors, lobbies, think tanks and NGOs is busy generating reasons for new imperial ventures.

So there was a virulent threat to peace still lurking on the Potomac after the 77-Year War ended. The great general and President, Dwight Eisenhower, had called it the “military-industrial-congressional complex” in the draft of his farewell address. But that memorable phrase had been abbreviated by his speechwriters, who deleted the word “congressional” in a gesture of comity to the legislative branch.

So restore Ike’s deleted reference to the pork barrels and Sunday-afternoon warriors of Capitol Hill and toss in the legions of Beltway busybodies who constituted the civilian branches of the Cold War armada (CIA, State, AID, NED and the rest) and the circle would have been complete. It constituted the most awesome machine of warfare and imperial hegemony since the Roman legions bestrode most of the civilized world.

In a word, the real threat to peace circa 1991 was that the American Imperium would not go away quietly into the good night.

You can only take that stance if you ignore every fact on the ground. Each and every fact. Throughout the Cold War we were told that Russia was looking for any excuse to go to war and the Russians were told the same about us. When in reality both governments had zero desire to go to war!

With Russia adopting Capitalism (or a form of it) and no longer pushing Communism onto the world, they are less likely then ever to go to war with us. We also will not go to war with them. Heck they took Crimea and invaded Georgia and we did little else then bark. Same would happen now.

China is an economic and political enemy, but we are way to interdependent on each other to go to war and world leaders like to rule over rich countries; they do not want to rule over destroy and stone aged countries, which is exactly what a war btw Russia, China and the US would be.

I know your small minded doctrine is to say the Republicans are chicken hawk imperialist, but you would be an outright liar ! In fact the US is pretty bad at imperialism;;; we didn’t steal Iraq’s oil, or take the fruits of South Korea’s booming economy… you can lie all you want but your calling the US and imperial country is a wrong. If you say we are fool-hearted in taking on being the world police… OK I will give you that one.

China is developing a 6,000 mph hypersonic nuke missile engine which is reportedly based on a design abandoned by Nasa — as it forges ahead in an arms race with the West. A Chinese research team has built and tested a prototype based on a radical design by an American space agency scientist more than two decades ago.

This clown should start a comedy club, every thinking citizen of the world knows we are living in the most dangerous times in our entire historyand the corporate controlled media is doing just the opposite trying to assure us everything is alright,this clown does not see the obvious thst every thinking person of the world and even children can see,thst this the most dangerous time in our lives and the history of the world to be alive,thst all the world leaders around the globe are all trying to murder us with the vaccines with some of the communist country’s like China force vaccinating its people against their will and throwing its resisters in jail who resist.

Nuclear weapons, while have destructive as they are, have kept the world out of war via MADD. Heck even India and Pakistan tensions are at all time lows.

Fact of the matter, there are ZERO armed conflicts btw 2 countries at the moment and very little threat of it. Civil wars are becoming less common, which includes Africa abs Latin America.

No dumbass; that fact that there are zero armed conflicts btw countries at the moment and little threat of it. FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY! And the other fact that countries, specifically Africa are seeing rapidly growing economies and far less violence.

The only reason why MAD has worked is because both sides had them....Do you get my drift?

The risk of a terrorist setting off a nuke or dirty bomb no doubt exists, but the wouldn’t be from Russia or China.

How are you so sure about CHina? They have the Hypersonic we dont, right now we are kinda held hostage by their tech, while our Defense Dept, diddles with their dicks and kuuunts. Have to be equal as now we have females in the upper ranks.

Obviously who knows in the end… but China is definitely in a trade war with us and they are winning. But as much as we are depended on their cheap goods and rare earth elements; they are dependent on our consumer markets. That isn’t going to end any time soon.

A greater question would be why would they go to war with us… or nuke a city. They are still one do the fastest growing economies in the world, with the fastest growing middle class. In addition, the vast amount of growth in infrastructure since the end of WW II, would all be wiped out in even a small war with the US.

Why would they in a show of force launch a Hypersonic missile over the United States?

That’s nonsense. We have a massive military that has murdered millions since WWII. The assholes in charge threaten any nation who opposes US hegemony with destruction. They’ve committed numerous coups to unseat any nation’s government that won’t allow big corporations to rape the land and people.

I suppose this is news to you.

 

[GHook20]

The Eastern Hemisphere is rife with strife.

Specifically? What 2 countries are at open war? The data shows otherwise.

What are the closest to war? Israel and Iran? Russia and Ukraine? China and its neighbors? Please, not even the saber raddling by Iran and Israel is going to lead to open hot war any time soon. I guarantee it.

I guess I will agree to disagree, because your point has nothing to do with the fact that the world is safer then ever.

Heck you could even name country at the moment we are even close to going to war with? And no… there is very little chance we are going to war with Russia, China, NK, or Iran.
