What worries me is the pattern that's emerging here. The Italo-Turkish War was a testbed for WW1 technology, The Spanish Civil War was a testbed for WW2 technology, are we getting WW3 after this? :/

I could certainly see this spreading into a wider conflict. But if we're lucky, maybe not.

Russia's busy, though, so while they want to interfere, I don't think they want another front. I'm not really worried about North Korea at the moment, I think they've kinda settled down a bit.

China with Taiwan is always a worry, but I think they're still looking a bit longer term at the moment.

If oil and fertilizer shortages get serious, I could see more countries getting involved. And I think, hate to say it, Israel has a real chance for enhancing things and more shit starting, and frankly, same with Trump.

So I'm moderately worried, personally.
