🇺🇸 🇻🇪 Rubio says US won’t govern Venezuela but will press changes through oil blockade

🛢 Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested Sunday that the United States would not take a day-to-day role in governing Venezuela other than enforcing an existing “oil quarantine” on the country, a turnaround after President Donald Trump announced a day earlier that the U.S. would be running Venezuela following its ouster of leader Nicolás Maduro.

Israel 🇮🇱 - Palestine 🇵🇸 : official end of the war but continuous fightings

Lebanon 🇱🇧

In Lebanon, Israeli operations have led to the destruction of a significant portion of Hezbollah's leadership, which has been greatly weakened, benefiting other Lebanese factions.

Syria 🇸🇾: A Gradual Transition from War to Pacification

Iran 🇮🇷: When the regime falters

In Iran, 2025 saw the mullahs' regime teetering on the brink, a regime that could fall as early as 2026.

Ukraine 🇺🇦-Russia 🇷🇺: A fourth year of war, 0.9% of Ukraine captured, and a more deadly war.

Sudan 🇸🇩: A Forgotten, Massive, and Ultra-Deadly War

Ethiopia 🇪🇹: The War No One Is Talking About

Others :

War is also ongoing in multiple other countries at different scale :

-Anti-gang war in multiple countries of latin America (Brazil, Salvador...)
-Frozen or less active wars in Libya and Irak
-War in Western Sahara between Morrocco and Polisario
-Peace found in Turkiye (PKK), Armenia and Azerbaijan, Tajikistan/Kirgizistan (still sometimes some shots at the border)
-Small scale fightings on China-India and India-Pakistan border, as well as in the south China sea.

Trump's peace: mirage or reality?

Trump believes he stopped about eight wars:
-DRC/Rwanda (the war continued)
-Armenia/Azerbaijan (his action was just a drop in the ocean)
-India/Pakistan (the war would have ended on its own, but good work in negotiation)
-Cambodia/Thailand (the war resumed)
-And the other four are probably the wars between Israel and Arab countries within the framework of the Abraham Accords... In the end, a truly mixed record, and Trump's actions weren't really decisive (except in the case of Israel).

Regarding Trump's promise to end the war in Ukraine in one day, we've been waiting for a year now; he's been tricked every time by Putin. Furthermore, Trump bombed many countries (Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Venezuela...).

In 2026, war is still present, with major interstate conflicts (Ukraine/Russia, DRC/Rwanda, Israel/Iran, etc.), widespread internal wars (Sudan, Yemen, etc.), substate wars linked to terrorism (Sahel, Central Africa, Mozambique, Afghanistan, etc.), rebellions (Indonesia, Philippines, Ethiopia, etc.), and gang wars.

Of course, there would also be much to say about hybrid wars (Russia vs. Europe, for example), cyber wars, and other types of conflict, but that would be too broad a topic. Here, I have attempted to create a typology of the main global conflicts at the start of this new year.
