40% of Americans Think Civil War Is Coming. Here Are the Wars Already Happening.

40% of Americans think a civil war is coming to the US in the next decade. Meanwhile, there are wars happening right now that most people aren’t paying attention to — and they’re being fought with technology that’s about to change everything.

In this video I break down the conflicts the news cycle is ignoring: how Ukraine became the Silicon Valley of drone warfare, why Sudan’s famine isn’t getting headlines, how Facebook helped enable genocide in Myanmar and China is playing both sides for a pipeline, why the Congo’s minerals are in your phone, and what all of it tells us about where conflict is headed.

This is part of my series Actually What’s Happening, where I skip breaking news and go deep on the global trends and topics that are shaping our world.
