Wars Update: Empires Versus The Rest Of Us

The Forever War
StrategyPage has a summary of the current state of wars worldwide. Here is the opening paragraph:
January 2, 2020: This is our annual (formerly twice-a-year) summary of current war zones and an overview of where it is all heading. Doing this once a year rather than twice is a reflection of the decline in the number and severity of wars since the 1990s. After the overview, there is the alphabetical list of the war zones and a quick summary of how the local mayhem has been proceeding. Since we have been covering this sort of thing for twenty years now there are some war zones that have gone quiet. We left most of those in summary, with a note that those wars had gone dormant, and maybe extinct. History shows that dormant is more common than extinct. Forever (at least multi-century) wars are an ancient tradition.
Me thinks Joe Haldeman knows more about history than I do.
