Is WAR right Around The Corner?

There is unrest the world over and I am not surprised if war shows its ugly face.

There are many conflicts already active around the world, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran conflict between India and Pakistan, Instability in Egypt and in Iraq. I hope not to see a WWIII.

That is possible if each country does not fight over territory.

I am not too worried right now. More worried about covid.

There is always hope. I don't see us on the brink of war.

I know what you are saying. I always hope for better times soon.

The way things are playing out here in the US, we will have another Civil War. It's gone way too far and too many have blinds on, no respect for others, the Constitution, etc. It is a very sad situation.

North Korea fired rockets again. The Suez Canal blocked by a container ship. The Rohingya settlers in Bangladesh set on fire. Taiwan in full battle gear. China militia mooring at the West Philippine Reef. War is brewing.

I don't think so because most of the countries these days are equipped with the nuclear weapons and they all know the consequences of using it. Unless and untill some one is really mad will initiate the war.

War never really ended just the location. Our troops are in Afghanistan, Syria and other places where war is a part of the curriculum. Our government needs to bring our troops home and just let other countries solve their own problems.

It could be

There is always this fear I feel.

There's always been wars and rumors of wars.. We might be on the precipice of more fights but not necessarily wars and I hope the current president doesn't put us into one.

Rightly said. I hope it doesn't happen and there is peace on earth. Take care

I think alot of countries are pretty preoccupied with Covid at the moment to think too much about hostilities.

Everything is pretty much unpredictable nowadays but i think nobody can rule out that idea bout war. Anytime major countries might just hit that red button and just go ballistic with each other. Lets just hope that something like that wont be happening anytime soon though

I agree with you

War is terrifying and there is always war somewhere.

There is always a war being fought somewhere. Wars are fought for many reasons some being religious differences, gaining territory and resources, and political difference. This has been going on for centuries so I doubt world peace will ever be achieved. When one feels threatened they respond to protect themselves and their territory. A common human characteristic and flaw.

We have to keep something in mind, and that is that we have a very weak administration, and I think the world is viewing us with an 'opportunistic eye.' While we are focused on having an 'equal opportunity' military, other countries are focused on having a 'ready' military. And that is dangerous for us as a nation. The last time this happened (to a different extent) we were attacked in Pearl Harbor. We got slammed into WWII. Granted, the wars were already in progress before we got involved. But I am not sure I am certain no one is planning an attack on us. And I have no confidence whatsoever in this administration to be prepared for it.
