So how do we build a coherent understanding and assessment of how Israel fits into a fractured and further fragmenting world? In assessing the global soup sandwich, is a US-centric view the right lens? Seems like it would be a central element of a comprehensive strategy because our military, economic and information superiority (the other element of strategic power, diplomatic, I believe we have lost).
But what else is going on? China is in a slow motion collapse that may build to a "wag the dog" attack and is facing critical instability in Myanmar with strategic minerals and access to Indian Ocean ports.
Europe faces increasing internal political and economic strife over policies from energy to farming to immigration
LatAM is schizophrenic electing left wing (Brazil) and populist/libertarian (Ecuador) leaders. Many countries are on the verge of being best described as either failed states or narco-states.
Economic and currency wars and global challenges to the USD have been ongoing for decades and are now coalescing and accelerating. This creates a new cold war style bifurcation but economic instead of military. Military will follow.
too much happening and I'm trying to step back to take a broader view, but I'm really struggling
