India has struck Pakistan with missiles. Pakistan vows retaliation.
Just the most populated nation on earth with 1.43 billion people, armed with nuclear weapons slugging it out with its neighbor who has 247 million and also has nuclear weapons. Let's hope things deescalate but yeah does anyone really see that happening based on how everything else has gone lately?
Chaos begets chaos. Not to make everything about the US, but the fall of the US hegemony means a power vacuum, which will mean chaos and uncertainty across the world. "The 4th turning is here" is a really interesting and prophetic book about the times we're in now. The hopeful part is that we pass through a period of time like this every 80 years, and we always get through it. 4 generations ago was WW2, and then it was the civil war before that. We got through those periods, but small comfort that was to the folks living through it, I'm sure.
