Not scared but acknowledge that the world in which there were long periods of peace and short wars is over.

There will be long wars and short peace from now on for undefined time.

Whether it will be wars on the periphery or a global war depends on which stage western democracies will wake up and collectively realise the reality of the situation.

is it really true tho? with the ceasefire in Lebanon and a potential desengagement in Ukraine, we would have no multi states active wars for the first since decades?
Israel-Hamas is nowhere close to the end, and ceasefire is probably only because it is too difficult for Israel to fight on two fronts. It is existential conflict which was thought to be short but is still ongoing without end in sight.

Both Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran - Russia - China alliance. They are going nowhere.

Disengagement in Ukraine is only possible if Russia decides that it needs time to regroup and heal. It is an existential conflict with no end in sight. If Ukraine falls, conflict will move on to the rest of eastern Europe after a short while, as Ukraine should have only been a first step of the plan for Russia to control Europe.

Israel-Hamas is a civil war as Palestine is not a state. The rest is just your opinion.
