I have this sinking feeling that in the next 2-5 years, the world will be facing something far worse than COVID. We're looking at serious economic instability worldwide right now. Currencies are weakening, in some countries teetering, and in a few collapsing. When countries get desperate, they go to war, either against another country or their own citizens, or both. This whole COVID thing might be filed into the 'good old days' in hindsight.

To qualify that, I'm not necessarily predicting a world war, although that might happen in a window of more like 2-8 years. What I'm looking at is internal social instability in countries around the world as economies come under pressure and more people go hungry or see the hopelessness of their situation.

This, in turn, may lead to international war.
