• Seems possible Korea will resume the old war before China dares invade Taiwan to "reassert" its territory. Things very dire in jealous North Korea, where even merely feeding the people is a growing challenge. Can become a regional war like Ukraine, with Japan+US joining in with arm supplies. Not looking good for world peace. Overpopulation pushes us over a brink.
