@evan To my understanding it’s foremost the fight to survive.
Secondly it’s a message to the Iranian Ayatollahs.
The many conflicts in that area show how ugly religions and political power can be.
As long as nuts like Putin, Xi, Erdogan, the Ayatollahs, the orange guy from the US etc have any influence, as long it won’t end. These people aren’t civilized and they rate power over people.
It would be good to see the International Court in The Haag very, very busy in the near future.
