Ongoing Armed Conflicts around the world

[Igel]

9. So, of those conflicts, which has a large country invading a weaker country?

1. Yemen's a local two-way battle that started as a civil war and was picked up by outsiders.

Ethiopia is a civil war. Outsiders pretty much stay out.

Libya had outsiders involved, but they sort of mostly left--even Russia. Somalia? Philippines? Kashmir? The CAR? Mexico's cartels vs government. Etc., etc.? They're all internal conflicts, for the most part.

The closest would be the I/P conflict ... but I think that's not even marked.

2. Which has ramifications much outside the border of the country the conflict's in? Most of those are homegrown conflicts, even if they're acquired parasitic external players over years.

And which has the possibility of quickly ramping up, a la Chechnya?

Are the Houthi rattling nuclear sabers? Boko Haram?

3. Now let's right-adjust the color scheme. Instead of "last year" let's make it "last week." Most of the conflicts would vanish.

And so on.
