Would love to read the whole thread, but I think it's already at 200+ posts. On the topic of war, I don't think any of the bigger countries are crazy enough to start a direct conflict with the U.S. I'm leaving conspiracy theories about weaponry not known to the public out of this, but we (the U.S.) could literally blow any country off the map. Like, no more anything Caesar salting Carthage style. Having said that, North Korea is exactly the kind of crazy to kick off something like a WWIII. Trade sanctions Iran, Cuba, and (not sure where else, forgive me) had an effect: the impacted countries relaxed on some of the more extreme, blow you up attitudes (mostly referring to Iran). Korea? Nope. I'm more concerned with them (also aiming at an internship to South Korea, bit of a danger junkie).
About the Gaza\Israel thing, is it horrible? Yes (last I heard, like 700+ killed Gaza side, 30+ Israel numbers are maybe a weak old). Should we stop it? Yes. Should we all blow ourselves up over 2 (and more outside of this big conflict) tiny countries full of religious crazies? No so sure (phrasing is biased there).
And on Russia\Ukraine, did anyone besides the U.S. actually do or say anything? Legitimate question, didn't really follow much after the capital was on fire
