It feels like alot of stuff happening in the world now ties back to Russia and its war in Ukraine, which is itself a sort of hot focal point in a broader cold war between western nations and autocratic states. There may be individual, local factors in all these conflicts that are popping up, each with their own complex histories, but it feels like these are being exploited and pushed into flare-ups to distract and divide the West. America wants to play at being the world police, so if the autocratic states increase the amount of chaos and entropy going on in the world, America and its allies can’t focus on the true threat (not to mention the Fifth column of politicians that Russia has been financing here for some time). They’re whole MO for years has been to increase chaos and entropy, and use that to take advantage of the situation or distract from something else.
I’m guessing it doesn’t even cost Russia/Iran/China/N.Korea that much to push things into a crisis. Hamas used 3,000 fighters to attack Israel on Oct. 7 and basically stir up a hornet’s nest of regional conflict. Given how many waves of meat Russia is throwing around in Ukraine, that’s barely a blip on the radar to finance something like that, yet cause this much chaos. All you really need is dedicated individuals who’d be willing to do something like that, which wouldn’t be hard given the situation around Israel for decades.
You said it better than I did
Always has been. Iran and North Korea funded the construction of the the tunnels in Gaza.
