talkpolitics...And don't let the door slam your behinds on your way back!
So, the old year is rolling away now. I hope the new one will be a lot better for you all! Of course this one has set the bar so low that, well... You know.
So let's make what could become a traditional poll.
Which, in your opinion, was the most significant event of the year, worldwide? Doesn't matter if good or bad, just most significant. I think the number one event is more than obvious, but still. Give me your top 3 events if you like. Or maybe top 10? Here's an example of such a list:

1. The COVID-19 Pandemic.
2. Joe Biden Wins the Presidency.
3. China Asserts Itself.
4. Climate Disruptions Continue.
5. The Killing of George Floyd.
6. Abraham Accords Signed.
7. Oil Prices Tank.
8. Tensions Flare Between Iran and the United States.
9. Belarusians Protest for Fair and Free Elections.
10. The U.S. Senate Acquits Donald Trump of Impeachment Charges.
