I didn’t used to understand foreign involvement in wars, like the whole America-Vietnam shenanigans. But I can see why after watching this Israeli Palestine Conflict since birth.

But now it’s like watching two children fighting over who’s sandcastles can be built in the sandbox. And what do we do if children can’t learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.

So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?

    Agreed, the bigger stronger countries aren’t mature enough to handle themselves, let alone getting mixed in other conflicts.

    But like who’s the “adult” in this metaphorical dynamic? If there is no mediation, then one of two things will happen

    1. One kills and annexes the other Or 2. They continue to fight until they run out of populace and the whole area falls to irreparable socio-economic ruin.

    I personally vote we let Greenland handle any and all affairs pertaining to this battle. They got a steady reign on things over there.

      I don’t disagree, but I doubt either side would agree. Certainly the Israels wouldn’t. They’ve got the most international support, the superior military, and (most importantly) this war let’s them do what they’ve wanted to do for almost a century now, wipe them out and claim all their land for themselves. They’ve got everything to gain and really not all that much to lose except their humanity - and countries rarely optimize their wartime strategies for that.
