Israel striking Iran will have global consequences
It appears that Israel is going to hit Iran hard. There’s more at stake here than just Iran. If the regime in Iran falls, this is going to send shockwaves around the planet which could jeopardize authoritarian regimes. Iran, while definitely not on the same level as Russia or China, is right up there with North Korea (minus sixty or so North Korean nukes likely capable of reaching the US and Europe). North Korea is no joke. Their missiles are much more advanced than Iran. The Islamic regime, it seems, can hit targets up to 2000 kilometers away with weaker missiles than North Korea’s. Still, Israel is waging war against Iran, not North Korea (not directly).
The theocratic regime in Iran falling would be an inspiration for countless people across the globe. We all remember the Arab Spring. Well, we could then be witnessing a repeat or even greater changes as the global population is already on edge. I believe even North Korea could fall faster than Russia if its population was exposed to the truth about the world. Russia, it appears, is hopeless as Russians have access to what’s going on in the world but are so zombified, there isn’t much we can do. With North Koreans, I wouldn’t be so sure. In spite of living in a panopticon dystopia we can’t imagine, they could surprise us.
You likely don’t know this, but every time Americans are mentioned in North Korea, they are automatically referred to as ”American bastards.” Not nice, but that’s what they are taught in schools, and temporary friendships with Trump, or Kim being BFF with the basketball legend Dennis Rodman doesn’t change that situation. Kim Jong-Un’s sister would likely be even worse than Kim Jong-un, but, as a woman, she has little to no chance to be the leader. Even Kim Jong-un wasn’t the first choice, but the other candidate was, apparently, ”too much like a girl” and would never be accepted or respected as the future leader.
Anyway.
Iran getting nukes is going to solidify the position of the authoritarian axis – Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. It’s going to make not only Israel, but the world, much weaker and even more dangerous than it is now. Add isolationism in the US and you can kiss Europe goodbye when it gets invaded by Russia.
As such, Israel striking Iran is clearly not just a regional matter. We’re all going to feel the consequences one way or another. It’s hard to imagine as I look out the window and see maple trees and birches basking in the sun, but that’s reality. We’re all going to feel the shockwave. It’s my understanding that we have months before Iran gets nukes. Months before total mayhem. Ignoring the threat or a minimal attack is just going to lead to catastrophic consequences in a few months. The window of opportunity is closing fast and, if the threat isn’t contained, the world is going to go off the rails completely in 2025.
