The 2nd season of the Korean series Squid Game was recently released on Netflix, and in another blog post I already explained my problems and mistrust with the Launch of series on Netflix and Co expressed. So I've only just watched the series Squid Game, worried that there might not be a second season. The series itself is really good, without spoilers, good characters and actors, a story that you can follow and actors who control the whole thing in the background.

It feels like the world is currently facing conflict and war on all sides. One conflict that has been unresolved for years and has been simmering for years is the China-Taiwan conflict.
