I have a creeping fear that this understanding between Iran, Russia, North Korea and perhaps others we are not really on to like Myanmar is meant to make military conflict flare up in multiple places at the same time. Am I being paranoid? I am not sure anymore, but this whole thing is getting darker and darker, and all the clues lead to the same people who think it is OK to bomb a funeral or kill young people attending a concert if it gets them closer to their goals. I was always worried about Putin getting his way in Ukraine. Now I am afraid he will get his way in Ukraine and in other places too. Not because we do not have the ability to understand the game as individuals, but because we have lost the ability to respond in a way that will neutralize the threat. https://apnews.com/article/south-korea-north-korea-border-tensions-military-agreement-42bfcb77b8c21531ae3137cc230eb0dd
