Complexities of war

Despite all the complexities of war, even a simple question like "Why did Israel-USA attack Iran (all of a sudden) on 28 Feb 2026?"

There are so many different perspectives:

1. Change the focus from Scandal perspective - Over the previous 1 week 7 big names have come out and maybe the next was DJT. Hence, he needed something bigger to distract the media and the accusations.

2. The China angle - DJT was to meet Xi in late march to negotitate and he wanted 2 main keys of oil before this meeting. One was Venezuela and the other was Iran, both of which do a lot of oil selling to China. He blocked Venezuela with picking up Maduro and hoped that Iran would be controlled with the leadership gone and internal infighting/ upraising.

3. The Military Intelligence angle - Israel-USA got to know that there is going to be a meeting of 50 senior leadership of Iran on 28 Feb 2026 and although both were preparing for war, this opportunity was too irresistible to not bomb.

All this, when there was no Imminent threat to USA (As per the counterterrorism chief who resigned) and the war was not winnable (according to both the USA agencies - their intelligence and the Pentagon).

Reading the tea leaves

Going through the international events, it is very difficult to understand the why's and the long term / short term goals and strategies of the parties involved. Obviously, the game plan is secretive. 
It is indeed like reading the tea leaves to make sense of it.

Few international events of current month:
1. Russian jets entering the air space of Estonia

2. Russian drones entering Poland

3. Israel attacking a place in Qatar

4. Israel apologising to Qater for the attack

5. Thoughts behind the Pakistan - Saudi mutual protection agreement

From chicken's neck into a full chicken

India is not in the best of places - Geography wise.

It always had 2 aggressive nations on either side of the north - Pakistan and China.

Now, after the ouster of the democratically elected govt in 2024, Bangladesh is now siding with Pakistan to open a third front for India to deal with.

If a close aide of the interim chief advisor should talk of Bangladesh and China taking the 7 north east states of India by the chicken's neck of 22 km, India should plan of actually capturing the 100 km of straight route directly to Meghalaya and dividing Bangladesh into 2 and no longer allowing a chicken's neck to be there, but make it the whole of the chicken.
