Of course (as is generally acknowledged in this thread), there are various more dimensions to this conflict of which the weight can't be discounted.
This, to me, is the only possible clear goal: we might want a "stable" middle east, done OUR way-in a way that benefits us.
Countries are tired of that, though, and i mean countries all over the WORLD, from China and Russia, to Saudi Arabia, to Brazil and Argentina.
This post and its associated links will be quite boring, but the eventual implications will potentially change the world as we know it.
The word, here, is de-dollarization.
And what it MEANS is, the end of the US molding the world in its image, for its own benefit: something we've enjoyed PRETTY much since the end of WW2, and for our entire lifetimes, and the lifetimes of most of our parents.
This is Saudi Arabia, for instance, (for several reasons-that could be its own long post), breaking away from the west and moving towards Russia and China.
Remember, they traded oil for yuan, and perhaps, more importantly, not in DOLLARS, for the first time ever in '23.
And this is ALL of these other countries looking to break away from the west, and, eventually, for instance, render western sanctions useless.
I've mentioned the BRICS alliance in this thread, many times. This is was, originally an informal "club" of trading partners and such, but things have changed.
Part of their mission statement, NOW, is to "provide a counterbalance to western influence," and things have become PRETTY fucking FORMAL. THese days, they are a SERIOUS financial bloc that makes up like nearly half the fucking world's population, a decent chunk of global GDP. THEY now have yearly meetings, just like the G7, and are becoming an actual rival to it.
They pose a SERIOUS threat to the western world, and worldwide finance as we know it.
It's boring to read economic shit, but THIS is the actual birth of the NWO, except it isn't a conspiracy theory, and it has the potential to change everything.
They've also been planning a new reserve currency for a few years, now, and seem to wish for this currency to replace the petrodollar, and the dollar itself as the world reserve currency. Furthermore, many economists predict that this WILL happen.
I know...the second article i linked is pretty boring, but i'm laying out the general plan as i understand it, here.
NOW. This wasn't super hardcore when this group began, with only Brazil/Russia/India/China/South Africa, but they have, little by little, increased their influence-they had enough in 2012 to both support and change the workings of the IMF.
They are calling the current system (aka the Western Control), outdated, and they consider themselves to be an emerging New World Order,
straight up and openly.
After careful consideration and such, IRAN and SAUDI ARABIA were granted membership a few weeks ago (remember that THEY are bitter rivals), as did Ethiopia, the UAE, and Egypt. Argentina was granted membership as well, but they left the group after some wooing from the US and such, iirc.
NOW, MANY countries formally submitted applications to join BRICS, and many more have openly expressed a DESIRE to join, but, from what we know, are not YET actively being considered. (read-i'd goddamn sure imagine some of them ARE).
I've had my eye on this for a hot minute, and what we MAY be looking at IS an organized Middle Eastern/North African Geopolitical Bloc, that already includes fucking Russia, India, and China, and couple of BIG ass pieces of the Middle East, with aspirations of getting hold of a LOT more of it. (And don't sleep on the African countries: one isn't a big deal, but ten? Twenty? MOST of Africa, in the near future?)
Also, JESUS. Cuba is close to home. And they're CLEARY courting South American nations).
The new currency they wish to introduce will, unlike the dollar, be backed by commodities-China is buying all the gold it can get its hands on.
Also, courting Argentina was a bold move. But look at this list, and think about it.
It's already Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the UAE in that (greater near east/far east) region.
1-1-25 may well include Belarus, Kuwait, Turkey, Syria, and Lybia, (plus Venezuela and CUBA, ffs).
Oh jesus. In explaining this, i forgot to mention my theory, which is this: WE are funding Israel because we actually DESIRE a regional conflict, to get control over EVERY country in that region, including Iran, to stop the BRICS' de-dollarization movement. This could ALSO explain our position on Russia. If my theory is right, this will continue, no matter who is president.
edit-sorry this post/list is so goddamned long; i went back to my HS/College newspaper page design days and tried to make this all pretty, and to have the lists side by side with bullet points and shit and spent 40 minutes learning that, no, no matter WHAT i do, VBulletin does NOT function like Adobe Quark. Apologies, and thank you for let me cook.
OK, so - The BRICS alliance has expressed a desire to drastically expand, and here is the list of potential new members in the near future. And god help.us if this shit should become a MILITARY alliance.
