Birth Pangs???

Mark 13:7-8

7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. (Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel, United States and Russia?) 8 Nation will rise against nation (ethnos against ethnos) and kingdom against kingdom (political against political) There will be earthquakes in various places, (Iran lately) and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
