Is War a Contagion? "Our greatest threat with this war between Iran and Israel is that this becomes religiously inspired and spreads, especially in Europe, as a clash between Islam and Judaism, as well as Christianity, from the militants who have flooded into Europe." World War I is certainly a classic case of war emerging as a contagion. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand triggered a chain reaction of alliances pulling countries into the conflict. But not all wars spread. Some stay localized. The Iran-Iraq War in the 80s didn’t escalate beyond the two countries. So why is that? The United Nations is just as much a failure as the League of Nations, largely due to internal biases and ethical corruption. The Cold War involved proxy wars but avoided direct superpower clashes, maintaining a semblance of containment for image purposes. Every war that the US got itself into, thanks to the Neocons since World War II, has always been about Russia. Several mechanisms demonstrate how conflict can leap from one nation to another, and that MUST be our concern right now between Israel vs Iran, when Iran is by no means standing alone, and the confrontation by the West is in motion against Russia, China, and North Korea, providing incentives to support Iran. A major conflict can weaken a regional power or create a power vacuum. This is what NATO and the EU are doing, sacrificing Ukraine to reduce Russia in hopes of conquest. Here, the EU is deliberately promoting war against Russia to create an opportunity to settle old scores, grab territory, and expand its influence, believing that Europe can rise again to its former glory.
