Ok, so... (in no particular order)

  • Hamas murdered hundreds of Israelis
  • Israel's defence force is currently flattening most of Gaza and thousands of its people
  • Hezbollah fired missiles into Israel from Lebanon
  • Iranian-backed Houtis in Yemen are launching missile strikes on ships in the Red Sea
  • The US and UK launched missile attacks on the Houtis
  • Iran fired missiles into Pakistan
  • Iran fired missiles into Iraq
  • Iran fired missiles into Syria
  • India and Pakistan are in a near-constant state of nuclear-backed tension
  • Turkey attacks Kurds in Syria and Iraq

Added 18 Jan:

  • Pakistan fires missiles into Iran
  • Jordan fires missiles into Syria

Anything else? (Loads, obviously)

What a fucking mess :-(

Is there any chance all of this circus ends peacefully soon?

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Sadly, it seems unlikely - my concern is that right now it seems to be growing arms and legs, with various smaller disputes and conflicts all becoming intermingled. And given the second last point, that's a pretty scary prospect.
