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:

  • Jordan fires missiles into Syria

Anything else? (Loads, obviously)

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