Thankfully nukes exist = (war on a big enough scale = mutual destruction (the people in power want to keep their position))

You never really know, it's plausible. But I doubt it. It doesn't seem any more likely now than it did in 2016.
Ceasefire in Gaza for a minimum of 6 weeks (if I understood the news correctly) is huge. That conflict might be close to over if we're lucky.
No I really don't I see water wars and cold war style espionage but no WW2 style conflict. But I also think we will have Societal collapse by 2030 due to climate change and being unable to grow food. Honestly after Cheeto got reelected I have just gone numb to all the of it. I am savoring each day.
I hug my love ones just a little longer than I used to. I write a log of each day to I remember it a little better. I have made a bucket list and I'm trying to check off as much as possible. But even with all that I sometimes catch myself mourning the earth. Also it's good to video your love ones it's awkward but it will be nice to hear their voice when you can't anymore.
Nah we’re speedrunning the 20s currently, so it’ll probably be another ten, fifteen years or so.
It’ll take longer than 2 years. It’ll take a decade.
Yes. America can't come and rescue the Europeans anymore, and noone will help rescue America's neighbors from her.
Once the U.S.A becomes even more divided, Taiwan will get invaded and Israel will collapse. Hopefully the Ukranians can get a good peace deal in before everything goes tits up or they'll be taken over as well.
You could make the argument that we are already in the precursor to WW3, or what 1938 was to WW2. You're not over exaggerating, but it's not worth worrying about. The wealthy who have people and countries into poverty and then supported these wars are the real enemies.
