    And that’ll make four continents seeing war. Nobody is conquering Australia, right? And Antarctica is still demilitarized?

    edit: And fortunately NA only has three large fucking countries on it. But I guess we’re kinda working on it.

    Fucking madness.

    I hope people that study history remember. We’re not good for much, in the grand scheme of things. We don’t build stuff, we can’t tell people which ideas are best, we don’t have any unique skills that are only acquired in the field of history.

    There is one thing we can do though, sometimes, when opportunity presents and times require. And I’d almost call it a duty, because we’re actually the only ones that can see it all. It’s what we’re for, and it’s why when times get their darkest, we’re one of the first targets.

    We know this.

    edit2 because that was disrespectful to smaller Caribbean and C American nations.

      China attacking Taiwan would cover that side of the planet pretty nicely, I think. They haven’t done that yet, right?

        Afghanistan is seeing their standard civil strife stuff and Myanmar exploded recently. India and China are also frequently skirmishing around the Himalayas. Off the top of my head.

          To be fair, Myanmar has been in the process of exploding since their military conducted a coup in 2021.

          But also, don’t forget that China added another line to their entirely nonsensical and geopolitically-irrelevant 9-dash line!
