Ours is a world war. From the battlefields of Ukraine to the jungle of Marmar, from the deserts of Sudan to the scrublands of Mexico, from the African Horn to the Gaza Strip, to Haiti, the Congo, and Yemen, nations all across the globe are consumed by conflict.
In the 21st century, at a moment when people can live healthier, happier, and more prosperous lives than at any other time throughout history, war goes on, and should be entirely justified in believing that things are only getting worse.
Today, we're going to take a deep dive into the wars, insurgencies, and civil conflicts of the 21st century. We're going to explore the most brutal war zones in recent memory, and the leaders and fighting factions that have brought absolute hell upon the innocent people in their path.
