State of the World 2024

[nzoomed]

Sadly 2024 is shaping up to face global conflict and wars.
Israel, Yemen, Ukraine and Taiwan are the places to watch.
Also concerning are the threats russia has made to Sweden for joining NATO.

Definitely Taiwan. They have massive control of microprocessor/computer chip production and China would very much not like that power being held over them. If China decide to take control by force expect some significant disruption in the tech industries (i.e. computers, phones, cars, appliances, transportation, etc).

One reason TSMC have built a factory in the US.
Should a war break out, I bet that they will blow the whole place up before China gets to it.
