Is it just me getting old…
or are the conflicts in the world worsening? I swear, there seems to be a ton of bad things going down and that is getting me down.

I don't think that since the end of WW2, there have been intervals of more than a few years without a war of one sort or another somewhere in the world: coups, ethnic quarrels, insurrections, civil wars, invasions.

@ArishMell USA war statistic: https://washingtonsblog.com/how-many-years-has-the-u-s-been-at-war/
But it is the loss of USA being united now, the domestic terrorists, the ripping apart of trust, truth and value by citizens who want power over others, the destruction of our country, our Constitution… Horrifying.

@FlowersNButterflies That is grim reading indeed.
Breaking down it by years seems to suggest far more individual wars, but most are single wars lasting for several years. Even so, they are wars involving the USA, with a startlingly high number on the North American continent.
Perhaps most of we foreigners tend to think only of the War of Independence and the Civil War, perhaps not hearing so much about the wars against Florida, Mexico and the "Indians".

@FlowersNButterflies A very good point.
