As if the war never ended
An opinion analysis describing the current era as a global struggle for resources (oil, gas, sea lanes, minerals, food, water). It cites a statement by Trump demanding that Iran give America everything it wants, describing it as the words of a 'mob boss'. It argues that America reflects the transformation of the state into a law based on profit regardless of means, and that the wars in Ukraine, the region, and East Africa are resource wars, considering this era represents the collapse of post-World War II balances.
The article offers an opinion analysis of the nature of the current geopolitical era, describing it as an era of conflict and wars for control of the world's natural resources. The author cites a statement by US President Donald Trump in which he said: 'If Iran does not give us everything we want from it, it will not exist!', considering that this language befits a mob boss and not a head of state, and reveals the truth of the American state at the peak of its existential crisis. The article argues that America today reflects the transformation of the 'deep state' where all factors of reasonableness, balance, legitimacy, and international law have receded in favor of a law based on the idea of the legitimacy of achieving profit regardless of means, including force and brutality. The article links various wars around the world to this system: the war in Ukraine is a war over the global grain basket, the wars in the region are wars over gas, oil, and sea lanes, and the wars in East Africa are over water and land. The article concludes that this era represents the collapse of everything built after World War II in terms of balances, organizations, narratives, understandings, and states.
