There might be something brewing in Kashmir, but I doubt that it will lead to a war - the stakes are too high.

the intensity of the fighting is low?
better tell the citizens in Goma, it's just a low-intensity conflict, so no-one cares.

Is there at least one regular army fighting the enemy with armored movements, artillery, air strikes and other heavy stuff? No. It's not a high intensity conflict.

The only high intensity conflict you've ever been involved in was Counter Strike Online.

in Congo? there sure is. better read up on the congolese army movements before making such a statement.

Geez, Iran and Israel doesn't share a border.

That's what Darfur, Nigeria, Chad, Somalia, or Eritrea may do.
My totally baseless prediction: One of the many ongoing TERROR CAMPAIGNS in Africa is going to grow sharper teeth in the form of arms aid from a wannabe top-superpower state, either China, Iran, maybe Russia. They'll get in for the same basic reason the US got into Iraq - hegemony and natural resources. A lot more men and women and boys and girls will be terrorized and tortured and murdered and the only thing the world will care about is who will be the first to get to the diamonds.

Fuhlame.
If we're talking wars between nation-states, which is what I believe Winner meant, and is the accepted interpretation of high-intencity if I remember correctly, then we may very well have one between Israel and Lebanon again very soon. I'd like to see an India-Pakistan war, but it's becoming less and less likely by the day. There could also be something involving Iran, or even a Russia-Ukraine conflict if that situation were to dramatically deteriorate overnight.
Regarding a war where the victor wouldn't be clear-cut overnight, that last one's the most likely to be protracted. While Russia is the obvious victor in a straight-up war, Ukrainians would make Russia pay for every inch of land in blood, and possibly long enough to win outside support, which would be a very scary situation.
Going by thread rules as to 'intensity'...well, I'll be the first to admit that my crystal ball is about as useless as any prediction can be, but I would be worried about an escalation of the Gaza fighting more than anything else.
It's one of the biggest wars of the twentieth century, actually. And yet, to my shame, I still remember that place best for serving 'toast American' (raw hamburger on bread).
I wouldn't. Bactrian history has made me rather depressed whenever human beings elect to slaughter each other under the peaks of the Hindu Kush and in the Land of the Five Rivers.

it looked orangy, right? I spend an unsavory amount of time explaining to some americans what "americain" is. you know, there is even americain sauce for on fries.
It's utter heaven for the spicy yet i don't want oriental crap poeple.

I've never played CS
really, you missed out a very fun part of this decade.
C.S 1.3 with jeeps.
ALL ABOARD.
COME HERE TERRORIST SCUM

It was dark, cause the hotel didn't spend money on lighting the lobby at night. But not 'americain' (that's more of a lobster thing, right?). They just knew about the rudiments of how a burger works, just not (apparently) how to grill one.

That doesn't look like poorly cooked beef to me.

Regional variations
Steak tartare is now regarded as a gourmet dish. It is especially popular in Belgium, the Netherlands, Northern Germany, France, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic (Tatarák) and Switzerland. In Belgium, another version is known as filet américain (translated as American Fillet). It is eaten as a main course, typically accompanied with toast or french fries. The preparation of the meat is either done by the waiter, table-side, or by the customers themselves. A fresh green salad may also be served in the summer months to add a further freshness to the dish.
In the American midwest (such as in Iowa and Wisconsin), steak tartare is known and served as "Raw Dog," and is most often served as a winter holiday appetizer.[citation needed]
Filet américain is also sold by butchers as a sandwich dressing; it comes either unprepared (raw ground lean beef) or prepared (with eggs, seasonings, etc.). The latter is also popular in Belgium and the Netherlands.
A variant of steak tartare (called tartarmad) is also present in the Danish lunch where it is served on rugbrød with assorted toppings. In Germany there is a very popular variant using raw minced pork called Mett or Hackepeter, which is typically served on rye bread or rolls, with the onions and pepper, but without capers or egg.

Only Aborigines in Central Australia eat dingoes. Out here, we have kangaroo and snake, but that's about it. Not allowed to feast on croc' anymore.
