The chances of major flare up in the East Europe hotspot have become more and more likely.

Sparking a major regional war that quickly turn ugly are likely – as both sides are not pulling back punches and are more hard-headed in using forces to resolve issues.

Asia Pacific hotspot though more complex, more disputes – are largely more restrained – as the stake are very high as Economy wise (it is a booming area) and Economic interests are very interwined. Asians are also more reserved and tend to take many things into consideration before resorting to forces – and there are more to lose if a major confrontation takes place.

Middle East hotspot will not hold back punches and will shoot first – but luckily unlikely to spark a big war. Also there are sign of weariness of war conflict and there are more softening stance to resolve issues through diplomatic means.

Now the East Europe can be a big flash that spark off a big explosion – if both sides are not careful in resolving the Ukraine crisis.
