The devil may be in the details, but sometimes the details get swept away by the larger waves.

My sense is that Israel is being bit of a bull in the china shop, is because of so much focus on and PTSD from the Holocaust has left it with no other model of behavior, other than reactive.

Given the West has been hollowed out by extreme financialization, it looks like Ukraine and Israel are simply the first dominos to fall.

What happens a year or two down the road, when all the religious predictions and prophesies fail to appear, the US has devolved into general chaos, whoever wins the election and the rest of the world is no longer scared of being stomped on for stepping out of line?

That's why I think there needs to be some questions raised and discussed, in the West, even if it hurts. No pain, no gain.
