The world order is broken. Yes, anyone can do anything now and justify it at the level unthinkable within a few months after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Even Libya’s Gaddafi disarmed (a big mistake he would later posit) when he felt the splash of the Iraqi effervescence. As Azerbaijan reminds us that it has weapons to use, which part of the world is stable now? As you watch all these events, from emboldened coup plotters to imperialists, one thing is clear: a new global order is evolving, and all orders begin with military adjustments.
If you are a fund manager, model that by 2035, the probability of a major global war should be closer to 1. The question right now is where that war will begin. CNN just told us that Ukraine has used drones to bomb some targets in Sudan. Sure, it claimed they were Wagner (Russian) fighters in Sudan.
Ukrainian special services were likely behind a series of drone strikes and a ground operation directed against a Wagner-backed militia near Sudan’s capital, a CNN investigation has found, raising the prospect that the fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has spread far from the frontlines.
Speaking to CNN, a Ukrainian military source described the operation as the work of a “non-Sudanese military.” Pressed on whether Kyiv was behind the attacks, the source would only say that “Ukrainian special services were likely responsible.”
That is scary because if that principle applies, every part of the world is now a frontline. We hope some of these leaders wake up from slumber before really bad things happen on this planet earth!
