There is likely to be conflict as China rises to become a new world power.
Russia is also struggling against decline and have taken an agressive stance against the West.
Iran and North Korea are unstable nuclear powers.
Terrorism (and the desire to fight wars to stop it is still a thing).
The United States is arguably in decline and has incentives to use its military industrial engine for perpetual war to stabilize its position.
And if you were a power player in any of these situations, would you rather take action during the waning days of the chaos of Trump or in a more stable and assertive Biden administration?
Not saying conflict will definitely happen. But the shit is ripe.
