      What they really mean to say is that there are "Only two wars that matter to the American media." Also since most of them are civil unrest (especially the ones in Africa) the American media is less likely to care to highlight them on a large scale. It's not sensational enough.

      @Descriptor413 11 місяців тому +89

      To be fair, most of the wars listed were insurgencies or sudo-civil wars that just seems to be slowly burning forever, while Ukraine and Israel are more sudden inter-state conflicts which feel like more of an event rather than just a tragic status quo. We did get a lot of news articles about the recent African coups, as well.

    • @ArawnOfAnnwn
      @ArawnOfAnnwn 11 місяців тому +12

      ​@@Descriptor413 Israel-Gaza also counts as an insurgency by that metric. The difference isn't about them not being major wars, it's about the perspective. Which wars get attention has more to do with who the audience is than how big the war is. And the audience here is mostly the west. The war in Yemen deserves a LOT more attention than it got, but the west didn't care about it. We even have people ludicrously calling the war in Ukraine the deadliest war since WW2, which only reveals their ignorance cos that title is very clearly taken by the Second Congo War, which despite being only two decades old most people in the west have never even heard of (as is typically the case with African conflicts). Hell the US Iraq war has a higher death toll, but didn't arouse anywhere near as much of a reaction. Cos what makes Ukraine special is just that it's an attack on the west. Israel also enjoys a special place in the western consciousness that neither Africa, Asia or Latin America does.

    1:03 The idea to intervene in Mexico wasn't motivated by charity, but rather because Republicans needed votes. By proposing intervention, they claimed to care about "American citizens in Mexico." as well as offering a "solution" to the fentanyl epidemic. However, as we know, every country where the U.S. intervenes often ends up worse off than before, which is why Mexico's president refused the "help".

      That’s mainstream media cherry picking what specific war or armed conflict they want to talk about. Take what’s going on between Israel or Palestine, or even Ukraine and Russia for example. They will on endlessly talking about the endless updates of those conflicts while not mentioning the already existing conflicts that were already going on in the world.
      It’s sad & very disheartening at the same time because while many other hundreds or even thousands of people lose their lives in conflicts in other regions/countries some will only pick certain ones to report on.

    Hi TLDR! It may be helpful for your viewers to explain that a war is a conflict that reaches 1000 combat deaths per annum. So, 999 combat deaths in a year would be considered a conflict, not a war (the number may seem abstract, but 1000 is the number that scholars have agreed upon).
    I suppose the silver lining of this video is that the end of war in the Americas is conceivable within our lifetimes.

      To my knowledge, the 1000-fatalities threshold was popularized by the Correlates of War dataset, and has been perpetuated by many of the important academic initiatives to gather conflict data - UCDP and others. CoW and its analogues certainly have importance in the academic field and they have relevance if only as an empirically impactful definition.
      As practical as that metric is though, it remains an arbirtrary one chosen for analytical imperatives. War is a very complex concept historically, culturally, sociologically, linguistically, etc. and if you zoom out from the realm of quantitative data analysis there are countless ways to define it that rely on wildly different criteria (see even the basics: Clausewitz, Aron, Kaldor...)

    *Question:*
    I've seen a lot of noise about how conflicts in West Africa, the Mideast, or Taiwan would detract Military Support from Ukraine, stretch the USA too thin, and Ultimately lead to a capitulation to Russian Territorial Aggression. My question is how much of the present world conflicts since 2022 are motivated by Russia calling in favours for it's beneficiaries to start making noise to try and accomplish this even on just a level of political perception amongst western democratic populations, in order to generate even an illusion of stress that could help to damage Ukraine? Because if Russia collapses, there goes all of the assistance both over and under the table that goes to all these other countries and groups, often through secondary and tertiary entities. I'm not saying it's all smoke and mirrors, but I'm saying that I wouldn't be surprised if Russia is leaning on the scales.

But those refugees are in a difficult situation in which the central Indian government doesn’t want to accept them as refugees and provide protection and refugee status because they don’t not want to anger that military government of Myanmar who is allies with China. So the central Indian government is basically giving a blind eye to these refugees who can’t legally work in India. They are also not allowing NGOs or international organizations to come and give aid and support to the refugees community there. A lot of geopolitical tension in the region that is not receiving enough attention and there needs to be more awareness of the issue by the international community.

I think we will see a major shift to a different region. You usually see conflicts break out in waves across a region, I think central Asia will be the next major area. Besides the Tajik civil war, there hasn't been any particularly large wars or conflicts in this area. I hope it stays that way but i highly doubt it.
    South east asia could be another area. Spill over from Myanmar has already caused new conflicts in Bangladesh and India and i wouldn't be surprised if spill over affects China and Thailand soon. If the Junta fully collapses we could see an explosion of violence across the region as many of the ethnic militia look to unite their whole ethnic group many of whom live in other countries as well as irradentist claims leading to violence between groups.

    The key question
    Are things getting worse?
    Media always gives that impression, even though on the whole things may be improving

      Not only worse, but reigniting
      Syria, Libia and Yemen sure got the bar high in the 2010’s and it’s getting like that in more territories

      My impression but I’ve been following every conflict since 2011 and my impression it’s not necessarily fueled by recent media consumption

      Just checked this out. Yes overall deaths have been generally dropping. Though conflicts have got worse over the past few years. Hopefully someone will dangle Mr P out of a window and improvement will get back on track
