Venezuela

The USA is a rogue state.  I believe there is real danger in the world now.  After WW2 there was a genuine balance of power.  The USSR would never have allowed Trump to maraud unchecked wherever he wants. Now the world is fragmented and there are several real flashpoints.  The fiction of the world "rules based international order" is certainly dead.  We could easily drift into a war which could result in a nuclear holocaust.  I have feared this twice in the past, and we did get close, but I really do have a sense of foreboding now.

 

You ignore the Soviet Union's colonization of Eastern Europe 1945-89.
