I would guess Israel as many do not have deeper insights into the general situation there.
Palestinians in Israel in general have full citizenship and rights and as far as I am aware lives relatively well integrated. My experience is from before the mass murdering on 7th October and the following cruel war so things might have changed though.
Regime change isn't the real goal here, is it? Haven't followed closely, but to me it seems the goal is to just destroy Iran as a regional power, with dire consequences for its population.
There were general and abstract privacy threats. The current US administration however has managed to alienate the EU population as well as EU politicians.
Trump has basically ended the alliance between the western world and the US and everybody has started to built around that fact. Just one example is that the EU has finalized multiple huge trade contracts, some were in the making for decades.
I don't think the next US administration - if the US remains a democracy - will be able to fix that. The US lately has been very vocal that they don't want to be the center of the western world anymore and the western world got the message.
Reorganizing the post-WWII world order will take some time, of course, but I feel like the world is proceeding quite fast.
Is slightly disagree. Trump brought in the tariffs based on trade imbalances. Bringing services into the conversation would highlight that there isn't a trade imbalance. But then I'm not trying to guess what trump might do with any given input.
I fully agree, it's super obvious and even wanted by a huge share of the US population by voting for "America first".
I hope that the EU manages to fill the power vacuum. They are already forming new economic bonds super fast and starting new defense initiatives. It will need a real EU military though. Also a new mode to operate is needed, the pure consensus based mode doesn't work that well.
Bejing doesn't care for results of op, they care for the big picture. Trump is splitting the West in half, which is great for China.
Also every piece of isolationist politics is good for them, because they try to invade Taiwan and the more isolationist the US becomes, the less resistant will there be when they actually try.
For Russia, it's just great the US attacked Iran, because the world needs Oil and now Russian oil is back on the table. The amount of weapons that the US is willed to deliver to the Ukrain on the other hand goes down as well as the political will to continue the support of the defense against Russian imperialism and grab for power.
Everything that weakens NATO in any way is great for Russia, so they are quite happy with Trump threatening the alliance.
I don't think China leadership thinks it needs to invade Taiwan. Competing against an hyper-specialized country is hard, but if they manage to produce chips 90% as good as Taiwan, the later is in for a wild economic ride, which will probably end up as Taiwan as an autonomous Chinese region without firing any guns.
exactly, it's very naive some folks fall for this China invading Taiwan narrative, just look what happened with Hong Kong, it had size of like 30% of Chinese economy (when they took over), which is why they agreed with autonomy, now it's down to like what - 3%? basically irelevant ordinary develoepd CN city, same will happen with Taiwan, people will vote with their wallets in the end especially if the other option is support from US gerontocracy ruled by crazies
people thinking China needs to invade Taiwan are very short-sighted thinking in western 5 year election cycles, which don't work in China, China has all the time in the world to wait unlike these western marketing products for 1-2 terms they call politicians (and I don't write it as some China admiration, just stating the facts their political system works different way whether you like it or not, but I would for sure prefer EU making deals with China instead of US also regarding security, they are more reliable not abusive partner)
Never thought about it, but i see where it is coming from. Even after my own trip to China i still thought China would invade Taiwan sooner or later, because the idea is deeply ingrained in my mind. It is only recently that i thought about it a bit, and even a successful invasion would be at least as bad for China as Tibet invasion was. So maybe their leadership grows complacent and dumb, which may happen, or Taiwan will just rejoin China naturally during a global economic crisis.
From personal experience that usually results in the person on the attack opening two additional issues:
1) the original issue recreated, maybe with a childish flourish added e.g. "because we're apparently in the DPKR for this project"
2) a new issue claiming baseless censorship and attacking the maintainer(s) motivation and governance
A variation on this is the above plus they get a hoard of friends/wellwishers/bots etc to raise more issues claiming censorship and it devolves into a massive ad hominem flame war, doxxing, death threats and the usual rubbish that ruin a good thing.
