While parsing the news for information on Israel’s strikes on Iran, Iraq, Syria and Jordan in response to the recent Iranian attack — while wondering how close we are to WWIII — I came across this graphic about current conflicts in the world.
What a mess.
The Wikipedia map is self explanatory but an interactive version is at:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Ongoing_conflicts_around_the_world.svg
(If you go to the page and put the cursor over a country, it’s name will appear.)
Thankfully between 2015 & 2020 total ‘conflict deaths’ were diminishing:
That graph will change radically when it includes the devastation to Ukrainian and Russian military forces and now the Israel/Iran War.
The “game” has escalated because Russia and Israel have nuclear weapons, and Iran should have them shortly. (Iran is reported to have enough refined uranium to build The Bomb.) Start worrying if you see a nuclear test explosion in Iran because their new missiles should be able to reach most of Europe & Russia, all of India, western China and north Africa.
The average person can influence these events.
Please PRAY FOR WORLD PEACE.
