What signal do all these wars send, i wonder. Why dont we see a hysteria in the news about them? Questions, questions.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflict...

They are generally further away and less western. Also, the countries involved are less powerful -- I suspect that if China were to attack another country, there would be similar hysteria because people apppreciate that they could be dangerous to us, too.

War in Ukraine is ongoing from 2014 and Russia was there all the time, it's not a secret. I dont see any changes besides stocks falling down since November and promises to stop QE.

You don't see anything different between the extent of Russia's military action between now and in 2014?

In world size? No, another military clash. The difference is in hysteria around it and gas/oil jumping to 2x, that's for sure.
