Just the number of (non-civil) wars within South America are very few; note lots of jungle and mountains.
Within the 20th century, the Chaco War counts. There's some smaller incidents where the # of dead is <1000. But the Falklands wasn't on the continent proper.

This really shouldn’t be controversial. The rules of the game aren’t a state secret.
This is also a problem with having rules that are paygated in the first place.

A Dem majority that is willing to do those latter things is also a majority willing to get rid of the filibuster.
Which of those is more likely isn’t the argument - and frankly we can still change that likelihood. Make primary decisions accordingly.

Whether the filibuster survives 2026 isn’t the inflection point for “what will the Senate do in 2029”. If the filibuster exists, and a Dem Senate majority won’t toss it, they wouldn‘t be doing SCOTUS reform or fix gerrymandering or anything else that will be critical anyway.

If we can’t get a Senate with 51 Senators willing to blow up the filibuster in 2029, then we can’t get a Senate willing to do the hard work that will be necessary.

Like Bolton, my assumption is that these are “because of who he works/votes for”, not because of the underlying conduct. But that there could be underlying conduct (unlike Comey and James).
