Things in Sudan are going from bad to worse. The army stopping humanitarian aid, the militia just killing people, a few hundred thousand fleeing the area.
It is gonna get worse.

Domestic totalitarian governments killed over 100 million people in the 20th century alone; that is far more than all the international wars combined in that century, the bloodiest century so far in human history. The sad reality is that the chaos since 2020 has shown us that even the formerly "Beacon of Liberty for the world" United States is also susceptible to becoming a China, a Soviet Union, and/or a classical Persian-style empire (that set the precedence for Alexander's Macedonian Helennic empire despite Greek tradition for liberty, then subsequent Roman Empire, as well precedence for Chin unification of continental East Asia, which in turn gave inspiration to Mongol Empire and subsequently Russian Empire). All of those empires were paid for via monetary scams (starting with Croesus' discovery of the electron coin having greater face value than metal content, and people accepting it for convenience) subsidizing a monopolistic bureaucracy, which then incentivize parents to over-paying for educating (brainwashing) their kids while disarming the citizenry . . . over-time, instead of peace and efficiency promised by every bureaucracy in its early years the result is a weak-minded population of scammers eager to scam each other, and consequently the collapse of civilization.
It's been a good run.
Multi-polar worlds are awesome and very peaceful!

Well, looks like we've added another conflict. The Palestinian/Israel flare up, as well as a bunch more new ones.
There's a total of 110 armed conflicts in the world right now.

The US is trying to get the UN to start committing resources to that conflict in Sudan. As forecast, it is the one most likely to claim the highest number of deaths.

LOL. That's the downside for sure.
But, we're pretty isolated here in North America from any competitors. Our only problem is the low-wage plantation owners and pea packing plant owners love for cheap illegal labor.
And we have a great armaments industry!

Now that the US has lost its leadership role in the world, I am expecting conflicts to erupt all over.
I am hoping that this thread can keep up with the new conflicts as they appear.
