    Other unknown variable imho, is nuclear weaponary, which made it impossible to continue WW2. We haven’t seen or experienced a “hot” war between nuclear nations since that’s been possible. (Though I imagine climate change makes nuclear confrontation more likely, albeit probably indirectly.)

      My bet is an India/ China tactical nuclear exchange over Kashmir. I really don’t know why, just a feeling. So take it with a grain of salt 🧂

        Huh. Legitimately never even thought about that possibility. Maybe it’s just post cold-war conditioning combined with the Ukraine shit, but I totally just assumed the ones to instigate would be USA/Russia.

        Don’t know why I thought that. China and India do both have nukes and they fucking hate each other.

          Not a global expert by any means, but the first war over water is on the horizon. Egypt and Ethiopia will go to war over a damn dam on their border. The deal they’re making won’t last.
