The chance of a new global conflict is higher than you think. Here are five wars that experts fear could start in the next five years.

Not having USA-Mexico or Israel-Lebanon (again) or Egypt-Ethiopia makes your experts look stupid ngl

With so many oppressive regimes and tyrants I believe it is unavoidable. We will see civil war in America and another world war. I don’t want it but when you have men with egos at play that treat their people like disposable commodities this is bound to happen. Anger and frustrations overflow.

How does a US military invasion of Illinois and California not make this list?

Probably because even people on the extreme left aren’t to start a civil war because someone is cracking down on crime. That would be my guess. People on the far left itching for a fight because their message doesn’t appeal to voters isn’t a good reason either

Is there a Nobel Prize for creating chaos, confusion starting wars and stupidity? Trump is a good candidate.

Interesting. They didn't mention the war of the United States against the United States. It's not only "likely", it's happening right now.

I noticed they haven’t listed a new American revolution or quite possibly a new American civil war. MMW: we are going to see a war on American soil in the next 3 years.

Because they know it’s not likely. The far left don’t have the numbers to pull off a civil war. You don’t get to claim safe spaces when the fighting starts

I think it will be less about far left organizing than it will be about states organizing to fight against a tyrannical federal government invading sovereign land. When we are continuing a fascist tyranny, states will be left with no choice but to fight off their tyrants with force.

While states have the power to govern themselves within certain boundaries, they are not completely independent and are subject to the authority of the federal government. They aren’t sovereign by themselves as much as they are part of a sovereign nation. The left is feckless

Rising fascism and climate change are going to collide. When the AMOC slows and stops sometime over roughly the next 75-100 years the world will go into complete chaos. Billions will perish from war, disease, disasters and starvation. Governments will collapse. "Road Warrior" times are coming.

Y'all know there could be a 6th war. Wonder whether/how Mexico and Canada might support the Americans against the MAGAs.

If the USA were to go to war with Canada and Mexico (not going to happen), could the USA force Mexico and Canada to cede land to the USA?

When is a democratic country going to swoop in and save us from tyranny as the U.S. has done so many times? Our country needs a hero because there’s certainly no one on this soil who’s going to rescue us from the mad cow-infected psycho in the WH.

Doubt that. I believe that if there is a future with historians, they'll look back and say that this era is already part of WWIII. The New Axis; Russia, the USA, and Israel have collectively attacked how many nations thus far this century? If you want peace, destroy fascism and capitalism.

If World War breaks out. We won't need nukes to know the consequences. One Nation has already created world wide Economic Terrorist strikes. It's considered friendly with the the next big Nation. That has so many Nukes it could remold several planets into blobs. Currently controlled by diapers.

Fun fact: if all the nuclear weapons were detonated at one time in the same place, they wouldn’t move the amount of earth the eruption of Mt St Helens moved. Nuclear weapons would shut down city centers and disrupt communications but they won’t destroy all life on the planet

If someone +1 or 2 wants to take out the US the time is now or in the near future. Commander in Chief has a god complex and is the worst strategist since Hitler. Better minds know that the US is on its way down by its own hand. The "someone" and the "better minds" is China. And its underway.

Shocked we have not had a large attempt on our country recently. Our military and intelligence people seem to be highly distracted by things that don’t matter. Anyone checking logs to see if people just want to learn how to fly and not takeoff or land? May be overly simplistic but you get it.

Just because you aren’t aware of something military, intelligence, and law enforcement aren’t looking into doesn’t meant that they aren’t looking into things of concern. The world functions despite you not knowing what goes on behind the scenes
