Thank you for an excellent recap of the challenges facing the World; it is a complex matrix of so many issues. I believe the invasion of Ukraine is simply Putin trying to put the USSR back together and an ego trip. If we throw in all the past issues around the World and cry "poor me", we will never resolve the Ukraine problem. Self interest or national interest will step in to complicate matters to possibly trigger WWIII, which is unimaginable. It's astonishing to see all the money (natural resources) being spent/wasted on weapons to protect territories. Humanity is self destructing because of a small number of male egos.

Israel has become a broken state...the lack of support for Ukraine is inexcusable..while the west is clearly on the wane, this war can be stopped...in some places lack of support is really plain racism against Ukrainians- a feature of the west from 19th century on...lots of excuses are to be found..but courage to step out of tribal self interest is lacking everywhere
