Peace In 2025 Doubtful.

Plenty of songs around at this time of year declaring that with the arrival of the baby Jesus there would be an abundance of peace and love but a quick look at any newspaper will show that we have anything but peace and goodwill to all men, literally the opposite and it isn't going to be arriving any time soon.
Despite the bluster from the incoming Donald Trump, there won't be an end to the war in Ukraine on day 1 of his Presidency, there will still be Ukrainians and Russians firing things at each other on January 21st   and will continue long after because the Europeans are intent in futilely keeping the arms going to Zelenskyy to continue the fight to make sure 'Russia doesn't win' but as the Trump plan is to hand over the land Russia has gained to Putin, it will only keep the pot simmering to return at some point in the future.
Despite talks of a peace plan imminent, the Israeli genocide won't end with it as just like Russia, they will gain land through massacring Palestinians and evicting them from their homes as they have been doing it for over 70 years, under Netanyahu they spread out further into Palestine and Lebanon and have opened a new front in Syria where they have stolen large swathes of land and plan to move settlers into it so that will also keep things bubbling.
Also on the cards is the nod from their American backers to go after Iran which could ramp things up considerably in what is already a tinderbox and although there is currently a truce amongst the many new factions in Syria, it is an uneasy truce which is not expected to last.
There is another genocide going on in Myanmar while conflicts rage in Mali, Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan, Afghanistan and Pakistan have regular skirmishes and although Islamic State have been quiet recently they haven't gone away as Iraqi citizens found out and the Houthi's in Yemen are still fighting against the Saudi's and UAE.
China appear intent in prodding Taiwan with an eye on provoking it into a war and with new conflicts breaking out all the time, unfortunately peace won't suddenly break out in 2025 while we have flashpoints pretty much everywhere you look around the globe.
