As Iranian I often laugh when I see videos titling “Will Iran and Israel go to war”. You give 20% chance to it but it is probably around 5%, it is more likely Iran and Taliban go to war over water. Situation for Iranian regime is very bad, they fall to a point that they are throwing all their forces to police people and they are failing at it. There were several rallies in the world especially in the west to sympathize with Gaza, and yet there wasn’t any in Iran, the reason is that the regime tried multiple times and couldn’t even bring 10k to it. The regime itself is no longer a theocracy anymore, just recently a video came out of an official sleeping with a man and nothing happened to him because there wasn’t anybody to replace him. Instead the whistle blower was imprisoned. All these can also be considered as a reason for Islamic republic regime to initiate the war to unify people but they most likely won’t do that because they know they are old and themselves can’t go to war so they must draft young people and the moment they give a gun to them, they will definitely shoot them, even their own guards are starting to shoot them. So rest assured, if Israel or US don’t start a war the chance of Iran starting one is fairly low. At worst Iran will use its numerous proxy groups to hurt Israel or recruit Afghan refugees to do his dirty work.

Regarding the point of 24:42 of "rallying around the flag": Interestingly enough, the Israel-Hamas war actually saw a huge decline in Bibi Netanyahu's popularity, even among his most reliable camps. The reason is that the public in Israel felt that the Hamas invasion could have been pushed back right away or completely prevented, unlike the 9/11 attacks that cough everyone by surprise. And even now after the offensive ground invasion started, Bibi's popularity is still below what it was before the war. Dues, going to war is not a magic trick to make the public rally around the flag. If the Biden administration will go to war, it will not rally the nation automaticlly. If anything, it will bring an even bigger wave of isolationism because of the sense of going to an unjust war. It will require a direct attack on the U.S to convince the public to rally around the flag, and not a war oversees. We are more resembling America during WW2 before the attack on Pearl Harbor, where there was very little public support to go to war overseas, but it changed dramatically after the attack.

While Netanyahu was facing large internal opposition, he wasn’t facing a civil war, and a defeat of this magnitude couldn’t help but tag him as a failed leader even if it did bring about national unity. Indeed there is likely more national unity in Israel than before the attacks as shown by everyone being okay with a doomed politician like Netanyahu staying in power to take the international heat for Israel’s actions. If there was significant opposition to what was being done new elections would have been called so he could be replaced, but instead he’ll almost certainly stay in power until the actions in Gaza are over.

As Iranian living abroad, I would agree with your analysis to 80%. The average Iranian, regardless of being secular or religious is just tiered. If Iran declares war on anyone, it will break into several regional factions fighting amongst themselves. The Iranian ruling class know this that's why the fund externally to keep the war on foreign territory. Iran would never ever be the first to declare war because they will not be able to recruit enough manpower. If on the other hand Israel or America declares war first, we'll see a totally different story. 😊

One thing to note with the comparison between a potential ww3 and ww1 is that the tensions for ww1 were there for a looooong time before they finally blew up. My great great grandfather left Germany for the US in time to fight for the US army in the Spanish American war, because he could tell that the war which would eventually be known as ww1 was going to happen, and he didn't wanna be in Germany when it did. The Spanish American War was in the 1890s, about 2 decades before ww1 broke out, and my great great grandfather was already able to tell for certain that it was going to happen eventually just from being a somewhat wealthy, informed German. Just because all the pieces are in place for ww3 doesn't mean it's going to happen yet, it could even take a few decades before those pieces finally fall down and start the war. And in 20 years, who knows if it will still be the middle east that's a big hot spot, although more realistically it probably will be, I don't think it's ever going to be stable after how much colonialism fucked it up and how much it has continued to get fucked up ever since.

Apparently, Israel has been publicly toying with flooding the Palestinian tunnels by pumping in sea water...which would eventually make the ground level litteraly collapse depending on how extensive the tunnel system is when it collapses.

I would like to give my 2 cents on the situation, as someone who has lived in Israel for most of my life (immigrated here at the age of 5, 25 years ago). Israeli politics have been at a stalemate for the last, maybe 12 years or so. Israel has a multiple party system where there are 120 seats in parliament, and in order to form a government, several parties have to form a coalition of at least 61 MPs, where every X percent of the votes give you a seat. This system has been working really poorly to a point where we've had like 5 elections over 2 years because no party could form a coalition. The problem with the system stems from the way the votes usually divide. We have two large parties, one center left and one center right (Netanyahu's party), who politically are very similar, and could form a coalition but disagree on who should lead it, so they never do. Other than that, we have the Arab parties who take roughly 10-15 of the seats, but would never join a coalition, and some of their MPs even denouncing the state of Israel, the Haredi parties who are around 18 seats and growing, and the fringes who can't do anything on their own, but since without them you can't form a coalition, all of politics boil down to the major parties appeasing them so that they can stay in power. The Haredi are not far right or right wing at all. They are weird religious fundamentalists who are more akin to the American Amish than anything else in the modern west. The Haredi movement was formed as a reaction to the secularization and liberalization of Jews in the 19th century, and their entire goal is to keep members of their community from straying from the orthodoxy. They have their own schools, many of which don't teach basic skills like math or foreign languages. They are exempt from military draft and a large portion of thier men don't work, but study religious texts all of their lives. Because of their way of life, they are heavily reliant on state welfare, and 99.9% of Haredi politics is just trying to secure as much money for their community, while ignoring major issues such as economic issues, wars or anything really. At this point in time, Netanyahu has managed to form a very narrow coalition by heavily appeasing the far right (the religious zionists) and the Haredi, hence why it is a far right government, but because of how narrow the coalition is, the popular support for the current government is low.

You left out why the Hareidi switched their support to be exclusively on the Right, which is that the Right is pro national identity and pro tradition, while the left is anti to both and supports mass assimilation and forced secularization. It's really that you have two blocks: those who are Jewish above all else, called The Right. And those who see themselves more as Westerners than as Jews, called The Left. Even if the Likud leaders are sometimes really on the "Left", the party members and voters on the Right, so those politicians talk like right-wingers to get elected. However, defections do happen. Also the reason why Netanyahu has difficulty forming a coalition is because he's being boycotted by former coalition partners. They are doing it either due to personal ambition, or because Netanyahu is blocking them from implementing their deluded suicidal policies and they're desperate to get him out of the way so that they can implement the destruction of the state in the name of "peace".

I don't anticipate escalation because though global, or at least Islamic, opinion may be against Israel it comes down to her neighbors. Lebanon, and importantly there Hezbollah, are mostly staying out of it because of Lebanon's economic woes and Hezbollah not having recovered from its involvement in Syria. Syria as stated above likely won't intervene as it is trying to pick up the pieces from their horrendous civil war and are in no mood for another fight. Egypt has made peace with Israel since Sadat's days and the military government led by Sisi is unwilling to estrange the US especially when they need diplomatic support vis-à-vis Ethiopia's dam on the Nile. Jordan is for all intents and purposes an Israeli Client State at this point. Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf Arabs, while they may protest in public still want to use Israel as a counter to Iranian influence and are unlikely to intervene, especially given their exhaustion with the war in Yemen, and while the Houthis may try and strike Israel their capabilities are limited. Iran might want to, but has immense internal problems, and is overstretched as it is maintaining it's influence in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon and has no direct route to Israel and therefore must rely on Proxies who are, as stated with Hezbollah, exhausted after the Syrian Civil War. For now I anticipate most of Israel's neighbors adopting a "wait and see" approach hoping that Israel gets bloodied enough that they can force concessions.

Since Christians and Jews are our Abrahahamic brothers following a different religion but with shared values also they dont claim anything from our religion which doesent make them heretics there even quranic verses praising christians while the Shias on the other hand with the insults of the prophets wife and his comapnions plus over-glorification of Ali with some shias like the (alawites in Syria who also rule it look at Bashar Al-assad) Worshipping him. Also I am pretty sure that a Arab Muslim would get more rights in Tel Aviv than in Ahvaz. Quite frankly I am glad that Iran and Israel are fighting to me its two enemies fighting exhausting each other.

Demographically Russia is fucked for the rest of the century. Sure, the big cities of St Petersburg and Moscow are still fine, but you can't have a pair of supercities running a continent-sized country for long before everything starts utterly falling apart.

Longtime listener, first time caller. So grateful that you make these videos! Your perspective is fascinating and while there have been times i struggle to agree, ive grown so much from the way you frame things. One topic not mentioned in this vid that I think is critical to either escalation/escalation is big tech. Quite understandably, big tech is driven by shareholder value so in a sense we've screwed ourselves, but the amount of subversion and extremism coming from echochambers help create revenue (more time on platform = more ad $) is ripping us apart - reducing empathy and hacking pack mentality. It hurts to see but it's so clear. I'm not sure there's a clear fix either as it's just a flaw of our existing political/monetary system. Observationally as someone not in the US, but in a five eyes country, wouldn't be surprised if Biden doesn't go for war in the middle east and Trump pledging he will (feeding into the big tech echo chamber) as a PR campaign tactic. Alternatively, I could also see the other happening (possibly more strategic for trump) given his existing base. Not supporting Israel if thigs escalate would ruin confidence in US allyship and possibly give China more of a reason to invade Taiwan (not that allyship justifies anyone of any country dying in war). Again, all thoughts based on no fact. What happens will happen, but it sure is fascinating to watch and guess. I really hope the dominoes don't start (or continue) to fall but there are so many variables that the incremental chance (particularly next year) will be a test that's for sure.

Israel only seems to go for that option if their homeland is being overrun. There's no way the Islamic republic can do that, much less their proxies.

Glad to see alot of ur maps and lists are now in HD 😂❤

Your war of the 2020’s map is outdated now and I would suggest a new one. East Africa is particularly outdated as a lot of white countries near the coast are now light blue, while some of the more northerly blue countries have turned red. Also we now know a Latin American front is almost inevitable so you need the American continent too, and you have ukraine as white when it should be a dark blue country, while switzerland should realistically probably be light blue and tbh I would probably make afghanistan a yellow since the taliban will likely just be fighting a guerilla war against everyone. Eritrea should be light blue and somalia should probably be divided into light blue somaliland and yellow lower somalia

Fun fact: someone gained a lot of money by betting against the Israeli stock exchange before the Oct 7 attack. Hamas leaders also siphoned billions of dollars in profit from the entire world giving aid, and all of them live in luxury. Their pawns the terrorists get paid every month, and their family do too in case they die, in perpetuity, which creates a huge incentive for the war to go on. Not to mention the deep pockets of UNWRA and red cross in perpetuating the refuge crisis. This goes far beyond what most people realize.

There are correlations of time periods and cycles, but correlation is not always causation, just because something happened over and over again in the past doesn’t mean that it will happen again this time, although it is plausible to say that it increases the chance.

Theres a feeling ive had for a while that because of the US printing money and the inflationary nature of our economy (also printing of money all over during COVID) it was more important to keep markets high than anything else as it is THE sign of stability and success for a country. I have feel like as inflation is typically about 2% per year, and we have seen most prices increase by a whole number factor, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10 times more expensive than in 2019, within a few years, I feel like the inflation is a slow fuse on a length of time within which the society can function before the currency collapses. When inflation increases the fuse gets shorter, or burns quicker rather. I feel like we BORROWED the prosperity of future years and put them into 2020-23, maybe even 2009 forward as weve been in the largest bull market of all time since the 08 recession. I just wonder which years did we borrow, because the bill WILL come due. When will the next 2008 happen? And was our mitigatioj of 2008 just a postponement? With prices going up faster and faster I wonder if we may not be much closer to the years whove had their prosperity stolen. We have a debt to the future and its coming due...
