Reading the actual article instead of just the headline, here’s a summary of their arguments. There are multiple powder keg situations around the world that are either exploding or simmering.

Yeah I’m not seeing the outrage on this one. It’s The Economist. They discuss the economy. If Animals Monthly did a piece on the conflict, I’d expect it to be pretty focused on the impact to animals, and I don’t think that means they’re minimizing the humanitarian aspects of the conflict.
I really want a prescription to Animals Monthly. That’s sounds fucking sick. I love animals. I love months.
Edit:don’t you dare correct me. This ain’t fucking Reddit.
Holy shit. I forgot all about zoo books. I’m 38. I remember those goddamn things and they were just as awesome in person as they were on the infomercials
Don’t confuse The Economist for dipshit right wingers in the US. They’re center-right Brits, which are their own breed. Not that I agree with them all the time, mind you.

The Economist is also known for attempts at “wit” in some of their headlines. The title is surely riding the line of satire intentionally.
Pathetic. Where is the bootstraps, can do attitude? Risks are just opportunity with thorns! or in this case nuclear warheads.
