Ongoing wars around the world. As of May 2020.
The darkest colour is for major wars, each with a death toll of 10,000+ deaths in the past 12 months.
The next darkest colour (Syria, Libya etc.) is for wars with 1,000 to 10,000 deaths in the past 12 months.

Exactly what I was going to say. The war on drugs or drug cartels doesn’t really count as a war.
Indonesia? Are they counting the West Papua freedom fighters?
Russia?
I can’t work that one out.
Malaysia?
Another that is confusing me.
I don’t think this is a very good representation at all.
So I can use my pun.
…what is it good for

Russia were in a low level war with Ukraine. They took the Crimea.
Not sure how recent that was.

Also they’ve been major players in Syria, as have Turkey.

Yeah, but if you got your country coloured in because they were involved in some conflict we’d have a colour as would the USA and UK and France and…

The “we’d have a colour” probably covers that :)

Sorry. My vision is awful right now.

Exactly what I was going to say. The war on drugs or drug cartels doesn’t really count as a war.
That’s the only current war for Mexico I could find.
This:
https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/mexicos-drug-war
suggests possibly up to 10,000 drug cartel related homicides a year.

More of a law enforcement problem, it is not like the Mexican Navy, Army and Air Force are involved.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ seems like a law enforcement issue rather than a war.

It is usually a mistake to reduce complex human situations to the dialogue of conflict unless there’s literally armed forces involved. People don’t battle cancer, there’s no war on terror (how does one wage war against an abstract noun?) or drugs or diabetes or whatever. Get your linguistic shit in order, world.
