A sad fact. I didn’t realize it is this bad. Currently it is mostly escalation after escalation. What way out is there?

It was going so well for a while there. Armed conflict went consistently down for decades… Until it went up again. Sharply.

This article is over a year old. However, if anyone wants a visual map, this article (https://www.sipri.org/yearbook/2023/02) has one showing where the various conflicts are. It’s also a year old.
