The war:
- For Trump it was all about the spectacle: From a failed infantile parade to live fireworks,
- and the assertion of hegemonic power.
For Netanyahu it was a get-out-of -jail card, and a two - decade dream for Greater Israel.
- For evangelicals it was some kind of morbid, end -of -times failed opportunity.
- For the U.S power elite of neocons, Ziocons, and defense contractors, it was an opportunity to
weaken BRICS through a hoped for regime change in Iran, and a money making venture.
- To China it was a dry run for the forthcoming US- China conflict over Taiwan.
- To the world's 17th largest country, Iran, spread over 600, 000 square miles, it was graduation day
- for its medium range and hypersonic missile program 🧑🎓 but a counter- intelligence failure.
For Europe, an opportunity to make up with an estranged mad cousin and rejoin the notorious "coalition of
the willing"- but that fell through.
- For India, remorse for buying partly ineffective weapons, and backing a horse that had less stamina
- than envisaged.
For the Global South, witness to an emerging New World Order
For Africa, a wake-up call.
