Hey folks,
what do you think about the recent conflicts (russia, ukrain)
and espescially the middle east conflict??

In my opinion its a bunch of pots and kettles calling each other black
In the Ukraine the USA calling Russia invaders and trying to destroy the peace of the country similar to what is occurring in Iraq again now that the puppet government they put there is collapsing (Not that I support ISIS) but they left a big mess.
Iran as always has its nuclear talks and boycotts from the world financial system, which is to keep the country at bay.
Israel invading Gaza gets praised more than commended but in a sense makes for a stark contrast to Ukraine Self determination but not Palestinian Self Determination.
Basically we have foils playing against each other where propaganda from one side or the other can form interesting contrasts to real situations occurring in other places in the world.
I don't think this is very true. Few countries other then the US are big enough trading partners to other countries to make economic warfare effective.

Russia's are pretty effective though it cuts both ways why the EU is super pissed about food exports right now that said they may compensate the farmers.
