Identify if you are involved in any current conflicts in the world and explain why you
are involved in them.
I did not find anything that completely supports my point but I believe that Russia is
currently in no conflicts worldwide and that the only true conflict they have is
within Russia and that it is with Chechnya. The problem is that Chechnya wants to
become independent from Russia. The only problem with this is that Russia has
nuclear weapons stored there and won’t easily give them up without a fight.
