The Ukrainian-Russian conflict isn't the only thing to be paying attention to although it is a huge, but expected issue for Western countries.
There are TWO other major conflicts/possibilities that people need to pay attention to which is not getting as much media attention.
People need to watch for the possibility that China may be invading Taiwan next. The other is Cuba and Venezuela funding and training the rebel groups in Colombia, which will reignite the Colombian Civil War. There may be some other countries that Cuba and Venezuela may be targeting but its more likely their closest enemy is first than say Peru or Chile.
Do NOT think that the Ukrainian conflict is just a single event, this will have a snowball effect and have an effect on EVERY single country allied with Russia, China, European nations and the United States. These are pressing times, but this should serve as an example of why the WEST should NEVER disarm their civilians. The conflict IS going to get worse, its only a matter of time until more countries get involved or more countries feel the need to finally push for wars they have been looking for.
