I like your optimism about 2025. Tension around china, russia, north korea is rapidly increasing and by the end of the decade I'd expect a bigger war there. US

  > north korea Given that you include it in your predictions, I would not put much stock in them. You're confusing domestic propaganda and saber-rattling with actual assessments of geopolitics. It's up there with feeling threatened by a communist Grenada. As for Russia, it's been a year, and it's still having quite a time in failing to invade the poorest country in Europe. There's a colossal gap between how you think the world stands, and how it actually stands. Russia's a failing Potemkin village, whose only asset of note is 10,000 nuclear weapons. There are only three kinds wars that will ever be waged between the US and Russia. 1. A proxy conflict which one or both of the sides aren't actually deeply invested in. (<---- As of 2023, we are here.) 2. None at all. 3. End-the-world Armageddon. None of these are a good fit for the rest of your narrative. It's just a hodgepodge of political anxieties.
