Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

WANA has been a geopolitical significant region of the world throughout history. Empires had thrown hundreds of thousands of men and committed countless atrocities to secure this region.
The peoples living within WANA are a lot more culturally, religiously, and linguistically similar than most people, including themselves, realize, which means political unity is very possible. And political unity has been achieved in WANA before.
The center of WANA, the place which ties everything together and where the foundations of a global power can be build, is in Palestine.
This is why the imperialists have sunk their teeth in Palestine and will not let go. Once the Zionist entity is no more, Western imperialist hold in their region will lessen. Without Western machinations which foster sectarian divides, these bitter divisions will be erased and similarities will be emphasized over differences. And from similarities comes social and cultural harmony, and from social and cultural harmony comes the natural convergence towards political unity, which will be expressed as a single regional organization, if not a singular state. Using the org/state as an instrument of power, the people of WANA can then rightfully leverage the strategic geography of WANA for their own ends instead of for the ends of outside actors.
That's a much more detailed (impressively so) description of just what I was alluding to when I mentioned, as one common cause, "Middle East destabilization."
I long ago became, and remain, convinced that that's the goal of a great deal of western policy in the region - that the process of undermining and even overthrowing stable governments (Mossadegh in Iran is a near perfect example) is deliberate and intended primarily just to keep the region unstable, since their wealth and cultural connections administered by strong, stable and widely supported governments would be a direct threat to western hegemony.
It's a conclusion I reached on my own though, and have fleshed out, to the small degree that I have, on my own. I've never before seen it expressed in academic terms or in that much detail, so thanks for that.
