Are we getting used to perpetual war?

When did we have peace everywhere in the world? Never. And now there are so many wars going on that we have been forced to change our view of the future of this planet. It all looks so grim. The Russian war against Ukraine is into its fifth year and the wars in the Middle East show no sign of ending soon. For those who have to suffer the results of bombing and missile dropping, it is infinitely worse, but for the rest of us who are lookers-on rather than victims, there is now an overwhelming sense of depression and negativity. Meanwhile, for the countries which have suffered wars that are supposedly at an end, such as Gaza, there is relief from the bombings but no sense of hope for the future. Other countries where there are for-ever wars, such as Sudan, the violence and terror has become a permanent backcloth, and even worse, nobody with political power in the West is doing much about it. This year, 2026, will go down in history as a year of death and destruction across so many parts of the globe. Will 2027 be any better?
