Famine in the Middle East + Africa and the resulting instability
European energy crisis
US enters recession (and it's especially bad because few are prepared for it)
Russia annexes most of eastern Ukraine
Several US states ban or come close to banning all abortion
De-coupling with China escalates dramatically
Monkey pox gets weird
Those of us living in the US don't hear enough about what is going on in the rest of the world.
I wasn't sure when I started this thread whether to put it here or on the International Board.
Hopefully those of you who live in other nations will post what the top stories are in your nation or in nations other than the US. Obviously, Ukraine is important, but even that is being covered less in the US because of all the is going on in US right now.
