I don't see how that's a useful discussion though. It's not really lofty futurist fearmongering, it's uncertainty about a very real, currently happening event in history. It would be like dismissing someone in the US for worrying about WW2 in 1939. Yeah, it might not impact the US, but also it's not immaterial daydreaming either. It is something you can reason about and prepare some plans for.
