If by 'the full conflict is not yet blazing" you mean there has not been a regeneracy, I could be with you. I note that the more challenging years of awakenings and crises are fewer most of the time in their Anglo American incarnations.

I still think Bush 43's Iraq War II had a crisis sized and values changing side to it. Bush 43's years might have been the first half of a multiple crisis.
