One of the earliest websites I remember was like scuse me while I miss this guy dot com and it was people sharing what you’re looking for. Check the way back machine
Lemmy. Or Google news… Or like… Snapchat I guess… Snapchat maps is cool to see what people post all over the world. One night I spent like a few hours over Hawaii and Japan snaps.
People in Saudi Arabia mostly post themselves driving with loud music.
Cancelled Disney+ when it nearly doubled in price, as we’d only bought it because it was only A$8/mo anyway. Also cancelled Kayo when they tripled the price over about a year without informing us that well.
Iran-Israel (not entirely sure how that’ll work since they’re not directly adjacent)
North Korea-South Korea
I see the world coalescing into two major axes of power: “the West” and Western aligned/allied nations comprising US/UK/EU/Australia/Israel/Japan/S. Korea on one side. Largely Democracies or Parliamentary systems.
On the other: Russia, China, North Korea, Iran. Largely Autocracies, and one Autocracy with Chinese Characteristics™. All four have beef to pick with Western countries. They might press their advantages if they see that Western support for each other wavers (Ukraine and Israel). We’re already seeing them warm in relations with each other (Putin/Kim visit, arms deals between Russia/China and Russia/N. Korea). They might form their own NATO style Bloc which would be stronger than the paper tiger that is the CIS. Combined, they may very well have the ability to split the West’s priorities if internal division is strong.
I think it’s going to get even more tense the further this decade goes on. The dice that is the US Presidential election may decide the next big moves of these nations.
Don’t forget Pakistan and India and their weird alliances. Though I think the possible war part is on hold because of the floods.
As for China they are probably shitting their pants when they saw what corruption did to the Russian military. They have to crack down on corruption, make sure their military is up to actual snuff, which pushes back any invasion hope.
Really making me wrack my brain here, but that’s what I got for now, tried to pick a few that a lot of folks probably wouldn’t be all too familiar with. Of course there’s plenty more I like that have already been mentioned here like Sorairo Days and the like.
