Feels to me like world ‘politics’ has been heading in a dangerous direction for a few years.
I think back to times of Glasnost, fall of the Berlin Wall, end of apartheid, Good Friday agreement etc. when I was younger and I felt quite positive.
Lots of discussion on here about UK & US so looking around the world. Putin looks really dangerous and I think would love to re-establish the Soviet Union and god knows if he tried to re-establish the eastern bloc more widely by force.
China oppressing their own minorities, suppressing democracy in Hong Kong and may be emboldened by Russian activity to attack Taiwan.
Then there are all the other de facto dictatorships around the world like Georgia, Brazil, Iran, Myanmar, Turkey and many more where opposition is suppressed. Not forgetting North Korea of course.
Now there have always been these regimes around but seems more of them and they are more emboldened
