1/ Short thread. What was the "best" year if you were to judge it solely by paying to attention to the news and not Pinkeresque metrics like child mortality in Lesotho?
2/ For the purpose of this thread we will look at years 1992 and onwards since this is when the cold war was over. We can immediately exclude years like 1994, 2001, 2004, and 2020 due to major world events.
3/ Next lets exclude every year with more than 100,000 combat deaths. That gets rid of 1999, 2013-2017 and 2021 onwards. Image
