Ratcheting up toward nuclear war. For the first time in a long time, I find it plausible that there will be a nuclear war within a year. I would not yet call it likely, but that's ruling out unforeseen occurrences. While neither the US nor Russia wants wider war, once a war is going on, militaries begin to ramp up, and leaders get nervous trigger fingers, all it takes is a spark to light the fire. If I were in Europe, I would be especially concerned because Europe is the pawn in this game.
