It's definitely highly dependent on where you live in some ways, but in other ways it really doesn't matter. I live in a remote corner of the world that is far from any conflict zones, so I'm not worried about that side of things. But both Covid and this war have highlighted how fragile the global supply chain is and after doing a number of deep dives on how reliant our current way of life is on those supply chains that my fear is that with everything going on at once if we start to see non-linear behavior in those supply chains then we're in a whole new world. Getting to a whole new world is baked into the fundamentals of our society anyway, so regardless of whether this particular period in time is the catalyst doesn't really matter, but there sure are an awful lot of flashing red lights on the dashboard that I'm seeing.
