Opinion | The Grand Theory Driving Putin to War
Opinion | The Grand Theory Driving Putin to War
This brew of attitudes — complaints about Western aggression, exaltation of traditional values over the decadence of individual rights, assertions of Russia’s duty to unite Eurasia and subordinate Ukraine — developed in the cauldron of post-imperial resentment. Now they infuse Mr. Putin’s worldview and inspire his brutal war. The goal, plainly, is empire. And the line will not be drawn at Ukraine.

Iran Escalates Shadow War With U.S., Israel in Latest Missile Attack
Iran Escalates Shadow War With U.S., Israel in Latest Missile Attack
Iran launched at least a dozen ballistic missiles on Sunday that struck several buildings near a United States consulate compound being built outside the city of Erbil, the capital of the autonomous Kurdish province in northern Iraq. According the Department of Defense, there were no casualties and no damage to any U.S. facilities. But the attack represents a significant escalation for Iran in the lethal shadow war it has waged to expel U.S. military forces from Iraq and the broader region, as well as Iran’s conflict with Israel.

The shadow war between the Iranian regime and Israel
The shadow war between the Iranian regime and Israel
While the Russia-Ukraine war has attracted the attention of the international community, the shadow war between the Iranian regime and Israel is escalating and increasing tensions in the region. The danger of the expanding shadow war between Iran and Israel is that it can spiral out of control, leading to a full-fledged war between the two countries. In an unprecedented move, Israel reportedly destroyed hundreds of Iranian drones with an attack on an airbase near Kermanshah, in western Iran. The Iranian regime did not disclose the attack, most likely not to lose face or show weakness.
