As far as I can tell there seem to be about 112 armed conflicts currently taking place in the world.

Some of these conflicts hardly ever get a mention in international news broadcasts. The BBC radio coverage is poor, occasionally spotty. The BBC World Service News is better than the BBC Radio Four News. Television news is useless. American stations are rubbish. France 24 and Al Jazeera are sometimes good.

Trying to understand the reasons why these various regions is extremely complicated. Some conflicts are classified either as "international" or "non-international" and some of these regions have multiple conflicts taking place within their borders.

This information is from Geneva Academy website: https://geneva-academy.ch/galleries/today-s-armed-conflicts

In the Middle East and North Africa there are armed conflicts in Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Turkey, Yemen and Western Sahara.

In the remainder of Africa there are armed conflicts in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Central African Republic (CAR), the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan.

In Asia there are armed conflicts in Afghanistan, India, Myanmar, Pakistan and The Philippines. Plus international incidents of soldiers being shot dead in the conflicts between, respectively: India and Pakistan, and between India and China.

In Europe and Eurasia Russia is currently occupying Crimea (Ukraine), Transnistria (Moldova), as well as South Ossetia and Abkhazia (Georgia), while Armenia is occupying parts of Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan). Europe is also the theatre of an international armed conflict (IAC) between Ukraine and Russia, and of two non-international armed conflicts (NIACs) in Ukraine opposing governmental forces with the self-proclaimed ‘People’s Republics’ of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.

South and Central America: The six non-international armed conflicts that are taking place in the region are split evenly between Mexico and Colombia.

Col Douglas Macgregor: Trump's Maximum Pressure on Iran

Danger of Trump following neocon advice. Danger of believing Israel’s lies. No chance of success for Russia to abandon alliances with Iran and China. Trump probably not wise enough to see Israel and US interests are not the same. Neocons have unrealistic delusional view of world.

So yesterday I had an emotional and physical meltdown.

I suffer from depression, sleep issues, anxiety, IBS and Fibro myalgia. I have been having pains and being late to work for a month and I explained it again and again to my boss, had a funeral on Sunday, Brother sent to help Turkey because of the earthquake, money problems, no social life and studying twice a week in a different city.

I go out every day at 9 AM and come back at 11PM. On Thursday I found my partner making an inappropriate joke to a past sex partner and a compliment about her being really hot naked when they were fuck buddies, but I was hotter (according to the message).

I flipped out so hard, we broke things in anger, screamed about life in general, I work hard and here he is speaking about another's body like it was normal in a closed relationship. The neighbours called the police, I drank half a bottle of whisky and had to explain that we weren't beating eachother, we weren't violent towards each other and that we aren't a danger, just a meltdown because the situation of being 30 in this world is fucking us up. They left and I collapsed into bed. The next day my partner apologised and said I was right, and all that while I am puking my soul out for five hours. He took care of me and we are ok, but mentally I can't believe I went this far. I want to run to a different country, a different world, hide inside my books and forget I exist.

Sorry for the long rant. Needed to tell someone. Thank you for either reading or scrolling past.
