Blindspot #037 - Is Sri Lanka collateral damage of Economic War on Russia, as Iran builds drones in Tajikistan? Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 31/5/22 Also featuring - @AwakenWithJP https://odysee.com/@AwakenWithJP:9 War obviously has a multiplicity of dimensions, however, today we zoom into only a few of the direct- and indirect dimensions and blindspots unfolding as the world watches their doomsday clocks ticking in the Ukraine. We cover Sri Lanka’s political crisis as canary in the coal mine of what is yet to hit weak, fragile, and failing states, on all continents, as wildfire inflation, and food shortages, lead to violent uprisings. This is why we once again argue for South Africa to maintain, as far as possible, a neutral stance on what has clearly become much more than a simple Russia-Ukraine war, but, an economic war (launched by Western nations) that is apparently hitting nations far beyond Russian borders the hardest. Lastly we look at Iran’s growing regional influence, this time in the form of an announcement made during May, in Tajikistan, of Iran establishing a drone manufacturing facility in the country. We see the latter as more signs of Iran’s rising in the region since becoming full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. This investment also sheds light on the growing importance of unmanned weapons systems, for the future of national security, warfare, and strategy.
