Is a Middle Eastern War coming?

‍

Seems like it.

‍

It started on October 7th with Hamas attacking Israel.

‍

Killing over a thousand civilians in a brutal attack that no one should have to suffer through.

‍

Since then, Israel has committed war crimes murdering thousands of innocent Palestinians, most of them women and children.

‍

They’ve destroyed most of Palestine, one of the most densely populated areas of the world, where millions of people are now displaced.

‍

Since then, the conflict has escalated.

‍

The Houthis, who are from Yemen, have started to attack ships in the Red Sea.

‍

It’s a major shipping route through Europe to Asia that cuts down shipping costs significantly.

‍

Using drones that cost tens of thousands of dollars, they’ve caused most shipping companies to avoid the area entirely.

‍

This has massively increased the cost of shipping, thereby inflation and the cost of everything.

‍

The US, UK and a number of countries have vowed retaliatory attacks against the Houthis if they continue.

‍

Why is it that Western profits are more important than Palestinian lives?

‍

Sadly, always has been and always will be.

‍

But that’s not the end of it.

‍

Israel has now broadened the war by killing an Iranian general in Syria and bombing Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon.

‍

If so, that could draw Hezbollah (who’s from Lebanon) and Iran (who backs Hezbollah, the Palestinians and the Houthis) into a broader conflict.

‍

This could get ugly really quickly.

‍

Why is Israel doing this?

‍

Why are they escalating?

‍

Their hawkish right-wing government.

‍

Based on the last few months, they know that using American-made bombs, they can destroy an entire country while the rest of the world sits by and watches.

‍

America has always had an issue with Iran and they know that Iran gets baited into a large conflict, America will join the fray.

‍

Biden has shown that he blindly supports Netanyahu’s government and if this war escalates, as it looks like it might, the US will be pulled into another conflict.

‍

What does that mean?

‍

Higher oil prices.

‍

More inflation.

‍

More money printing.

‍

Higher prices of commodities.

‍

Higher prices at the pump and in your local grocery store.

‍

Oh, and thousands to potentially millions of innocent civilians dying, through no fault of their own.

‍

Sadly, we’re all just victims of geopolitics.

‍

Politicians and leaders don’t factor innocent civilians into their plans because conflict is about power.

‍

War is about power.

‍

We’ve seen the US fall away from Ukraine.

‍

If this does escalate, the US be out of Ukraine entirely.

‍

Russia then capitalizes.

‍

And what happens to China with Taiwan if the US is fighting a war in the Middle east, Europe and then Asia?

‍

Pax America is dying.

‍

Niall Ferguson, one of the most famous historians living today, wrote a long piece on this.

‍

Him and his geopolitical strategists know.

‍

We’re in a massive transitionary period globally where the American empire is fading away.

‍

When that happens, conflicts arise as rising superpowers like China, Russia, India and their allies want to take their place.

‍

There’s a quote that is a must-read from the article that I’m adding below:

‍

Future historians will marvel at these arcane debates. It will seem obvious by 2033, if not sooner, that the pax americana faced a well-coordinated challenge from China, Russia, Iran and North Korea in the early 2020s. The first move was the invasion of Ukraine. The second was the war of Iran’s proxies against Israel. The third will most likely be a Chinese challenge to American primacy in the Indo-Pacific, perhaps — if Xi Jinping is bold — a blockade of Taiwan.

‍

We’ve had a war in Europe.

‍

Sadly, looks like we’re getting a war in the Middle East.
