Conflicts in the Middle East have always been the fuse that ignites the world’s powder keg.
Because the world’s major powers will inevitably seize every such moment to engage in open and covert battles for their interests — ultimately producing outcomes no one can predict.
I’ve had a lingering feeling for some time now: the smell of gunpowder smoke has actually been drawing closer and closer to us. We’ve simply been well protected from it.
But perhaps in the not-too-distant future, the tide of the times will pull us — whether we like it or not — into the struggles playing out on the world stage.
There’s no escaping it. This is the inevitable price of being one of the world’s main players. As the old saying goes: the tree wants stillness, but the wind will not cease.
These days, I often find myself asking friends over tea: if the near future were to bring us the sight of flames and the smell of smoke — would you be mentally prepared for that?
