I literally have no idea what’s going on in the world. I don’t know who is winning what war or who is dying from what famine.
Anyone wanna give me a brief international rundown about the state of the world?

Basically think of several farmers. One has cows, one has pigs, one has turkeys, one has horses. To keep things going they convince the animals the ones in different pens are their enemies.

The farmers are friends and work together, the animals live in ignorance and get eaten.

So you’re saying we’re on some sort of…. Animal Farm?

If you don't write laws or have armies you are just another animal yep.

ukraine and russia are at war, basically a slavic civil war to decide the fate of the decaying remains of the USSR. Russia will likely collapse after Putin's death, or at the very least change substantially, and this war is part of that transformation. at face it was a land grab but underneath it's the last battle of a once great empire.

Violence in the middle east is on the rise due to Israel's increased aggression towards Gaza. In the last few decades they've neutered their muslim opponents, and they continue to do that now, with the assassinations of entire regimes like the Iranians and the Houthis. Attention on Gazan civilian casualties has caused American support for the israeli military to come under scrutiny, especially among Zoomers.

In South America there is a massive economic transition occurring, with El Salvador and Argentina undergoing significant social changes as a result. Violence in South America is still high, gang violence not directly associated with regime changes, but cartel wars for control of the drug trade.

Europe has continued to stagnate economically into the 2020s, with a high degree of attention placed on their bureaucratic environment causing new business to struggle. The migrant crisis, largely driven by illegal immigration, has caused a significant contraction in public interest in immigration, including through legal venues.

East Asia is roaring into the future with massive infrastructure projects and industrialization. China has spearheaded advanced manufacturing, leading the charge with EV, semiconductor, and solar, competing with top American orgs in sectors like AI despite sanctions. South Korea continues to rise, taking up the helm from Japan's continued contraction driven by a demographic crisis.

Africa is developing, but the situation is rocky. Rwanda and Botswana have spearheaded social transformations to build developed cities and roads, although critics say at the expense of human rights violations.

Sudan is in its third year of civil war, two warlords are fighting over who gets to be the one dictator, one controls the east and the other set up shop in the west (both supported by proxy by arab countries)

Syria is trying not to break in several pieces after the dictator fled and new soy-islamists took over, Turkey and Israel are fighting over influence by proxy
After decades of war, Turks and Kurds might make peace in eastern Turkey
Europe still asleep and hitting the snooze button on their alarm
Russia and Ukraine still fighting over sleepy babushka towns in Donbas, both believe the other side will run out of men/tanks/money in 2 more weeks so they want to keep fighting while trying to convince Trump the other side is the problem
Armenia and Azerbaijan are still in process of a peace deal that might enter force in 6 months or maybe never
China is investing heavily in Central Asia for logistics and to expand new markets for their goods because their own consumption is too low (so they have to keep expoooorting)
ASEAN and Japan/Korea trying to figure out how to maneuvre between China and USA which make up most of their exports while Trump is pummeling them with 6000% tariffs if they don't turn themselves against China and swear allegiance to America
I think that's about it

>Argentina undergoing significant social changes as a result
In fact, no, the government continues to lose popularity and will lose the elections.
