What’s something happening in the world right now that makes you genuinely scared for the future?

I have a friend who lives in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean and he told me today that there's an American warship in their waters. He's between the ship and Venezuela , caught in the middle on a small island. He said that people are panic buying and he sent me a message saying goodbye in case the war breaks out. He said, "If they drop bombs we are all dead." All I could do was say I'm sorry and pray that it doesn't happen.
