What Happens Around Us and What are the Possible Domino Effects?

During the Cold War, the Americans called the spread of communism the "Domino Theory". In fact, such a theory was not put forward in vain.

We all know that dominoes are arranged one after the other in an upright position, and when you knock over the first one, all of them are knocked over in turn. 

Moreover, when these stones are arranged in order from small to large, it is possible to knock down a huge stone with the movement that starts with a tiny stone. 

This is called the domino effect, the interconnectedness of events.

***

When an event that happens nearby affects you, and then the event that affects you also spreads to your neighbour...

Such a thing can be called a domino effect.

During the Cold War years, the Americans called the spread of communism the "Domino Theory".

In fact, such a theory was not put forward in vain.

Following the Soviets, communist rule was established in China in 1949.

Immediately afterwards, the Korean War broke out in 1950, a war between the communist Koreans in the north and the pro-American capitalist Koreans in the south. We also sent soldiers to the Korean War and we had a lot of Korean veterans.

As a result, Korea was divided into North and South.

A few years later, in 1954, when the Vietnamese communist army defeated the French colonial forces dominating the Indochina region, which geographically included Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, a communist government came to power in Vietnam. 

These events in Asia frightened the Americans, and think tanks developed a theory called the Domino Theory, which suggested that communism would spread all over the world with a domino effect.

We all know what happened afterwards, America somehow eliminated this communism effect. 

First, the collapse of the communist front, which was surrounded by the effective work of American intelligence, with the fall of the Berlin wall, and then the return of communist Russia to capitalist Russia!

***

Today the Americans are probably no longer afraid of communism, but their hostility to Russia is not over. 

Now they have imperial dreams of breaking up this vast territory.

***

Russia is one thing, but I, for example, am not worried about the domino effect of the latest developments in Israel.

Already, the poles are slowly emerging. Nerves are quite tense.

Although Russia and China do not want to be directly involved in the issue, especially Iran is trying to be drawn into the issue.

But doesn't America, especially with the measures it has taken in the region and the aircraft carriers it has sent, want to tell Iran not to get involved in this?

Yes, on the one hand, it says so. It says I will burn if you interfere.

However, on the other hand, it does not refrain from provoking Iran with different methods, like dominoes affecting each other from small to large.

If Iran sooner or later gets involved in these developments in its neighbourhood, then it is not a small possibility that a large-scale war will break out in the region with a domino effect.

Yemen and Lebanese Hezbollah already seem to be involved.

In Europe, although there are beginning to be muted objections to the crimes against humanity, it seems to have preferred to remain silent about what Israel and America are doing, probably due to the hypocrisy that has become a characteristic of Europe throughout its history.

This hypocrisy may be partly due to the economic value of the region and the eagerness to share its natural resources.

An Israel with its resources could be an opportunity for Europe to become independent from Russia in terms of energy resources.

Therefore, instead of a Palestine that creates turmoil in the region, an Israel that fully dominates the region may be in Europe's favour.

Then, with pipelines to be built directly under the Mediterranean Sea and through Greece, Europe may be dreaming that it will be able to reach energy resources by taking Turkey out of the way.

Therefore, Europe may be thinking that it is time for Palestine to be wiped off the map.

***

It was with these thoughts that the operation to wipe Palestine off the map was launched in the region!

But what will happen if the war spreads to the region with a domino effect?

From America's point of view, it does not matter, America will benefit from the arms trade, and thanks to the neighbouring countries that are afraid of war, if the operation is successful, it will strengthen its power as the main country that dominates all the resources in the region.

Europe will also profit, because the sharing of these resources has already been done, and Europe will also get its share. Moreover, its energy dependence on Russia will end.

Israel? 

Isn't Israel the country at the greatest risk from this situation? Yes, Israel is at great risk, but they are especially committed to this issue with the strength of faith and belief in the Promised Land. The worst that can happen is that they will spread all over the world and continue their trade as they have been doing all these years.

They may be thinking that if another Hitler comes along in any country and wants to exterminate the Jewish population, the world will no longer allow it.

Palestine?

Palestine has already lost the land that it had allowed in the past with the settlement of the Jews. If they can survive this massacre, perhaps a small number of Palestinians will remain in the world, struggling to survive in camps in neighbouring countries. 

For now, their fate is to disappear, to be erased from the page of history!

***

If Iran gets involved more effectively, it too may be destined for more difficult times in the future as the next country to be dismembered, since it is already the main target.

If it does not get involved, it will have to fight with a stronger Israel in the future, and perhaps it will have to disintegrate in any case.

Look, this situation reminds me of the domino effect from another perspective. I am talking about the domino effect of America's imperialist ambitions!

Therefore, it seems that Russia and China will gradually intervene in this situation in the form of proxy wars. At least they will provide arms support to the region in some way.

***

And how is the situation with us?

In domestic politics, the voices of those who say that Palestine was once an Ottoman land and that we should definitely intervene in the situation have become more vocal.

The nationalist view even said, "Let's go to Palestine" in order to give gas to the government.

The government listened to this discourse coming from a part of the public and declared that Hamas was not a terrorist organisation, knowing that it would be reacted against in Europe and America.

However, it did not hesitate to declare that it would not be de facto involved in this situation.

And he did well. Because the region is a region where big calculations are made and it contains conflicts with the capacity to cause big troubles for those involved.

Moreover, although the Palestinians were once part of the Ottoman Empire, they are a society that stabbed the Ottoman Empire in the back. In other words, aside from being Muslim, aside from what happened to them in terms of humanity, they are not a people who love and respect us as a people.

Therefore, if we try to intervene in the situation without having the power to say that we are in charge of these places, let's see what you are trying to do, as I have written before, America will take us in the queue before Iran, and America's thoughts and behaviours for us are already not at an acceptable level.

As I was saying about the domino effect, the administration in power has been waging a cold war against the principles of the Republic, which it sees as a threat to its existence, in order to perpetuate its grip on power for a long time. It seems to have achieved some success in all these years.

Nevertheless, a large part of the public participated in the celebrations especially during the Republic Day celebrations with enthusiasm, saying no, you can't do this, we are protecting our Republic.

I wish we could all unite and reach this consciousness.

Because today is the day of unity.

We are about to be surrounded by fire. 

The only way to get rid of the domino effect is through our unity. We must protect our democratic and rule of law Republic.

I hope that one day our government, which is based on political Islam, will come to this realisation.

Beware of the domino effect!

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
