32. Israel/Hamas is a long time coming. That flares up every few years

Fri Oct 13, 2023, 01:04 PM

Oct 2023

I was hoping Ukraine war would have ended by now with Russia running out of people and weapons and the will to continue.

The US is likely to get pulled into the China/Taiwan conflict if that gets hot. China would have taken it by now if it weren't for the US supporting Taiwan.
