Unfortunately we seem, on this planet, to be happy to contunue the race to annihilation. Latest edition being Iran now positioning to fight to the finish perhaps, as there is no benefit in negotiating anymore. Also the incapacicity of Israel and thereby USA, to negotiate has become patently clear and is reinforced daily now. The collapse of diplomacy and Western values with it is obvious, if those values even existed in fact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdRzwZ6mv-M
Maybe this is simply the slippage of the veil that was hiding the real politik of the world today a depressing thought, but that represents also the demise of of Western civilisation and its development.
Extremes are a la mode now and centerist positioning is dangerous (noting the ongoing assassination of negotiators and troublesome peacemakers worldwide through recents decades of history) if not totally futile at this point. It is not just a result of a swing towards multipolarism, but also a denuding of the reality of a unipolar power and its overt scrambling to retain position.
This was a particularly depressing interview with Stanislav Krapivnik former US Army officer and currently an Oil Industry consultant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frkV8vziKUo
KSA holding currently hosting Gulf State’s council of war to line up against Iran for reasons of threats also more from a fear of their internal Shia populations and potential destruction of their oil facilities than any sense of impugned moral sensibility (they don’t actually do morals).
USrael now identifying Turkey as being targeted next, and the putative sultanate/caliphate of Erdogan, and the is no credible USrael negotiator or negotiations possible in the short to medium term.
The zipper has been released and in the short to medium term could rip out a war which looks like expanding to full regional conflict. Russia now providing military support to Iran with new air defence technology. China also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX7IDQp0NzU Pray that this will be short term conflict.
