The world is like a chess game, and under the great changes unseen in a century, in order to safeguard the interests of the country, all forces are taking precautions.
What the United States wants is to enlist its allies to besiege its opponents in order to better continue its hegemony. What Israel wants is to defeat the Houthis, Allah and Iran in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate the calamity of its henchmen. What India wants is to dominate South Asia or even dominate Asia, and become an emerging power that competes with the United States and Russia.
There are at least 2 things worth noting.
First of all, India gave a big gift to the Philippines. According to the Times of India, on April 19, India sent the first batch of BrahMos missiles to the Philippines. This is India's first export of cruise missiles to a "friendly country", and the significance is self-evident.
The range of the BrahMos is 290 km, which is not very far, but it is very suitable for the Philippines. If necessary, the missile can attack an adversary's airfields, ammunition depots, and energy facilities. At the moment, Indonesia and Vietnam also seem to be interested in buying the missile, but they are still negotiating with India.
India has always wanted to export weapons to the outside world and get a piece of the pie from the United States and Russia. If the Philippines and Vietnam both buy a large number of "BrahMos" and buy Indian fighters and ammunition by the way, Modi will certainly be happy to see it.
Like India, the Philippines now has close military cooperation with the United States, Japan, and Australia. All the United States has on its mind is to let the Philippines and India serve as a bridgehead. In this way, the United States will be able to sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits.
The Philippines and India are also well aware that the United States will not necessarily step up at a critical moment. But at the moment, India and the Philippines, which want to receive economic and military help from the United States, still choose to submit a petition to the United States, which fuels the arrogance of the United States.
The second thing is that Israel warns Japan and South Korea. According to the "Times of Israel," Israel will summon the ambassadors of the six countries on 21 July to express strong protest against the fact that "Japan, South Korea, and other six countries support Palestine to become a member of the United Nations."
Israel also put aside harsh words that the same protests would be handed over to more countries.
As a result, Israel, which does not listen to the advice of the international community, wants to defend its own interests in a tough way, but forgets why the UN Security Council did not adopt the resolution. Had it not been for the United States' vote against it, Israel would have been disappointed long ago.
You must know that even France, Japan, and South Korea, close allies of the United States, support Palestine in this matter.
Israel also warned the United States and Europe. Israeli President Herzog said on the 21st that if it does not wake up quickly to deal with Iran, Europe may pay the price in the future. Israel believes that Europe and NATO should join hands to confront Iran.
The United States has threatened to sanction an Israeli army unit for "violating Palestinian human rights." However, before the United States could act, Israel issued a warning. Netanyahu said the United States could not sanction the IDF.
On the evening of the 21st, the Israeli defense minister also had an exchange with Blinken. Israel's tough attitude is to ask the United States not to sanction any IDF units.
As for whether the United States will compromise with Israel, it is still unknown for the time being. The United States has always wanted Israel to abandon the siege of Rafah, at least on the surface, but Israel is determined to launch a ground military operation in Rafah. If Israel insists on doing so, the United States is likely to sanction Israel because Biden needs to woo Arab voters.
Iran did not say it would retaliate against Israel after the bombing of its homeland, but the Middle East remains in turmoil. Iraqi forces, Allah and Hamas are still attacking Israel, and Israeli forces are still attacking Gaza refugee camps.
If this continues to be fought, the hatred between Israel and its opponents will only continue unabated, and the situation will continue to spiral out of control.
This is a tragedy in the Middle East, but also a tragedy for humanity and the world.
