This is our annual summary of current war zones and an overview of where it is all heading. After this overview there is the alphabetical list of the war zones and a quick summary of how the local mayhem has been proceeding. Since we have been covering this sort of thing for over twenty years now, there are many war zones that have gone quiet. We left most of those in summary, with a note that those wars had gone dormant, and maybe extinct. History shows that dormant is more common than extinct. Forever wars, or at least multi-century ones, are an ancient tradition.
Overall things are a lot more peaceful than the headlines or Internet chatter would have you believe.
| As always, well worth reading the whole thing. You’ll want a stimulating — or calming — beverage and something to eat to accompany this long piece. |
