Sean Williams: 伯利兹正面临着严重的帮派暴力和毒品问题，政治腐败和寡头政治使得国家处于崩溃的边缘。长期存在的帮派冲突，以及来自墨西哥卡特尔和MS-13的威胁，使得伯利兹的未来充满不确定性。Shine Barrow的案例揭示了政治和犯罪之间的复杂关系，以及政治人物如何利用权力来维护自身利益。伯利兹的社会问题，如贫困和基础设施不足，进一步加剧了暴力冲突的风险。 Danny Gold: 乌克兰顿巴斯地区的战争异常残酷，俄军改变策略，集中火力对乌军进行猛烈炮击，造成巨大的人员伤亡和财产损失。乌克兰军队由正规军、2014年加入的士兵和志愿者组成，士气总体较高，但东部战线面临巨大压力，物资和装备短缺。平民遭受巨大苦难，许多人流离失所，家园被毁。战争的长期性以及对乌克兰社会和心理的深远影响令人担忧。
