problem solving

usa and mexico is in a low intensity conflict about drugs 

that gives usa options how to handle problems 

and that gives mexico options how to handle problems 

russia and ukraine is in a low intensity war about territory  

that gives russia options how to handle problems 

and that gives ukraine options how to handle problems 

china and india is in a low intensity conflict about their borders 

that gives china options how to handle problems 

and that gives india options how to handle problems 

if those conflicts or wars cool down 

then those countries are deprived of their options how to handle their problems 

and new conflicts would probably be needed 

the issue is not if conflicts or wars escalate 

the issue is if control is lost of conflicts or wars
