The World is Abound with Conflict – What Should the U.S. Do?

Yet, today, the world feels like it is aflame with conflict, violence and discord.

"The concentration we're seeing now is really unprecedented," Bobby Ghosh, managing editor of Quartz, said on "New Day" Monday.

Ghosh and CNN's John Berman mapped out some of the simmering battles throughout the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and Ghosh assessed whether the United States can - or should - intervene.
