Who has arms deals and links with Russia ? Iran.

Who supplies and works with hamas? Iran.

Who would benefit most from global focus shifting? Russia.

Hmmmmmm. I’m starting to feel like a nut.

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.

This is why Hamas attacked.

Israel and the Saudis are so tired of Iran's shit they started working towards a peace agreement. Including the Saudis pushing for formal recognition of a Palestinian state as part of the plan.

Instead of realizing maybe they're the problem, Iran responds by letting their terrorist groups start back up with the hostilities.

If Bibi wasn't such a dumbass Zionist, much of the world would be aligned behind telling Iran to fuck off right now. But instead he's doing exactly what Iran (and likely Russia) wanted to see happen.

Israel was never in a million years going to let Palestine have a state. They've made that clear for a long time.

They're definitely not the problem in Palestine. They're the only thing giving Palestinians a fighting chance.

I thought this was a sponge bob square pants song parody at first.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io -3 points 10 months ago

No reason to feel that way. This isn't even really a secret. Which makes the strikes on the Houthis a little stupid too because we all know it's basically Iran by proxy that does this. And when Iran finally gets their nukes it is pretty much over because then they're untouchable.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Attacks by Iranian-backed groups in the Middle East won’t stop until Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza ends, Tehran’s top diplomat warned on Wednesday, as tensions across the region threaten to spiral into wider conflict.

“If the genocide in Gaza stops, then it will lead to the end of other crises and attacks in the region,” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday.

Houthi rebels have launched a series of attacks on commercial ships and Western military vessels in the Red Sea, a major artery for international trade.

On Sunday, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said for the first time that confrontations at the Lebanon-Israel border, which have intensified in recent weeks, “would not end” before a ceasefire in Gaza.

“The operations of our naval forces in the Red and Arabian Seas will continue to target Israeli ships linked to the enemy entity,” Hizam al-Assad, a member of the Houthi political bureau, said.

“We call on both sides to exercise restraint, avoid actions that would lead to an escalation of tension and work together to maintain peace and stability in the region,” a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said.


The original article contains 680 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
