It's slowly been drying up now for a few years as climate change has worsened. You can clearly see how bad things have gotten globally after covid. It was already delicate enough to begin with.

There's too many conflicts occurring all at once and all it will take is just one or two more "missiles in the middle of the night" to get this party started. If Iran gets involved directly it will prompt some interesting moves on the board. 

I warned my wife during the presidential debates in 2020 that this is what I feared with Biden in office. He cannot lead. He cannot make amends. He cannot do anything other than be the war mongering man he's always been in office throughout his career. 

It was never this bad with Trump. I cannot recall it ever being this bad globally at least since when I was a boy during 9/11 and we had a bunch of neocons in office running the show. Democrats are just as [BLEEP] blood thirsty as the neocons I grew up with.

But where do you get off blaming Biden or Trump for Russia and Hamas starting wars?  Stop blaming the US for stuff we didn't do.

When you're throwing money at these countries? With US tax dollars? We're partly to blame. Especially when we have intelligence in these countries, connections in these countries, relationships with these countries and we've been working in conjunction with the UN and NATO to bolster some of these territories which naturally makes the Eastern front nervous and uneasy. 

Bad policies, bad stances being taken over the years, the mismanaging of assets and money in these regions has historically and now, currently, shows why we're at fault. Each administration plays a hand in this to some extent. Saying we didn't do it is the equivalent of saying "Well, you know, I was just in the car at the time of the robbery or murder, your honor, I didn't personally pull the trigger or kill anybody, I was just there".

We're an accessory in this. A MASSIVE FINANICAL ACCESSORY. Plus arms, weapons, etc. Again, grateful to be here in the West. Glad I wasn't born in any of those countries. However, I can admit it to myself and see for myself that US leadership over the years has done nothing but aid, agitate and fan the flames of these global issues. 

People can say, "Well, it's incompetent leadership doing this and it's hard to balance it out with different parties involved every four years and the gridlock issues we have with Congress". That's bogus. There's people getting paid to make these decisions and there's people in high places paying premium for these decisions to be made.
