I have to disagree that the Obama administration years were "not really exciting by comparison", mostly because the decisions of that administration deeply eroded stability, reliability and security. Coming from a background that [i]lives[/i] and [i]breathes[/i] it, it became deeply troubling. To which I also make note of, owing to this field I find my upbringing from, the dangers of "nuclear fire" and a "World War" in the sense of what many outsiders think are unlikely. There has not been a more consistent, notable degredation in those areas of concern [i]since[/i] the Cold War officially ended; the Bush administration may have had many issues, but the more recent ones caused actual harm.

Mind you I am only speaking for one particular angle because it is important to note that unless you are familiar with this area of topic, many are comfortable with saying it is "heightened" and "more likely now than it was"; it is not. The only real threat worth noting, and that of which is capable of starting a multinational war, is that of radical Islam. Not because it will ever unify into some "great caliphate", but because it has eroded many traditional understandings and dynamics of foreign nations.

Unfortunately, a more potential incident to arise in the future is from that aforementioned disdain for capitalism, especially at the youth base, and can be found on the home seat of the United States of America. By law, the acts of "protesting" you have seen have qualified in a number of cases for Use of Deadly Force and the mobilization of the National Guard in localized areas to restore order. This is unlikely to become large scale, but is on the verge of what I fear most; what we saw with the 2016 Texas incident as domestic terror that left six police officers dead.

Again, while I cannot make a threat assessment on the nature of this strictly hypothetical outcome, I believe there is reason to be deeply concerned about some of these groups who are protesting against the United States. This I believe mainly because they have demonstrated competency and willingness to use crude improvised explosive devices and mortal injury and have had minimal law enforcement leveraged against them compared to what is authorized.

In short, more people are bound to be injured or killed, for certain in Europe under increased radical Islamic pressure, and with the dangers born domestically in the United States.
