Perhaps one of the biggest questions circulating around the globe as we speak, Sunday, on one of the longest days of the year, post US strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran in recent hours, is, where is this all heading?

So far there have been, as expected, global outcries.
Similar happened upon US involvement in the Vietnam War.

As expected, there have been renown US Democrats that have expressed some disagreement to the move. Republican-Democrat party lines not singing the same tune.

Also expected, is Iran was going to have or plan to have, some kind of sit down or sit downs with longtime sort-of-an-ally-in-some-aspects, Russia.

Salient activity Russia has been involved with recently, is the exchange of missile strikes and attacks with Ukraine.

Over the past couple of years, it seems as though at least media on a global level has been bombarded with either the Gaza situation, or the Russia-Ukraine situation.
Possibly also known as, the competition for polarity.

With Iran approaching Russia amidst both concurrent situations, it may appear that, 'where this is all heading', is one gigantic fusion.

There might be a caveat to a simplistic grand fusion, which is, where exactly does Russia stand on the Gaza issue, and Israeli well-being in general? On the one hand, Russia may want to keep solid relations with Iran, who has recently exchanged missile firings with Israel, while at the same time, there are historic threads of immigrants to Israel of Russian descent, vice versa, a progression from times where there were arguable oppression of Russian officials or would be, could be, potential officials, by other Russian officials, especially in the era precipitating for example WWII (research reports of opposition to the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (JAFC)), to a now more evenhanded political arena.

Degree of involvement by Iran on facilitating war technologies like drones, to Russia, markedly in Ukraine, has brought up many questions.

Some of the above issues start ramifiying and running off like tributaries from a lake, into ethical and even religious issues.

Historically, Iran has had the 'mental stuff and smarts', to be able to develop technologies used for war, regardless of whether under the Shah regime, where some say the social fabric started to creep towards being more decadent, on the 'Islamic count', or under the more Shia regimes post the late 1970s early 1980s.

More recently, the new stern regime had also showed signs of decadence, which is where the denouement starts.

Iran recently reported to being the leading nation of sex-change operations, may not really help their standing in the 'Muslim World', a heavy concentration of which is in the Middle East, considering the Islam position on that activity, which in short is beyond forbidden, in the main; there are so many layers of behaviors that are outlawed prerequisite to an actual medical operation, that medical operations may not even appear.

So, plausibly, even to rest assured, there are divides in Iran, over that issue, and others.

There are individuals in Iran or from Iran that have been a witness to many things and political changes, and who's in power, does not really affect their practice, correct practice, of Islam all that much.

That said, or not said, there are concerns over the prevalence of some of the activities referred to above, the Arabic tongue refers to it as fasad, (those things the Prophet Lut and Shu'ayb as quick reference shunned) that were or still are existent in Russia, also on pornographic sites, that seem to be pushed towards the top of Internet viewing screens all over the world, even when viewers really, really don't want it there, and tried to avoid it. Now yes, there have been some crackdown coming from the seat of government in Russia in the past couple of years, which may be a saving grace to Russia having the slim margin of allies it has.

Russia was not invited to the recent WWII Normandy reunion, hosted by French leader,on the grounds of what has been going on in Ukraine today.

There are echoes of a repeated theme right now, of where is Russia? on these issues, perhaps the hugest landmass under one government in the world, surrounded by nations that need to maintain cooperation with it for basic survival of the people, referring food, crops, import and export.

Circling back to Iran on the Gaza issue, there is tremendous global outcry over what appears to be an ongoing oppressive situation that those living in Gaza are being subjected to. Iran voiced a dislike of the situation, some of it through the use of missiles.

Back to Iran reportedly assisting Russia in the way military technology like drones. Iran has many Muslim individuals in it. Ukraine has numerous Muslim individuals in it. Why would A help B hurt A?, is a regularly recurring question in the back of minds of many.

At the same time, Russia has many Muslim individuals in it.

Which might lead to a fork in a road, is A really hurting A, or helping A, is A and B the same thing, etc.?

Then there's the discussion, well maybe the drones fired in Ukraine, have nothing to do with the Islamic matter. Which then brings up the very ugly question, of what do the drones have to do with? So.e people might just jump at the answer and tell out it has to do with money.

If money is the matter, then Muslims might withdraw their support. Then again, who has bucked a code existing for decades, of firing missiles into Israel, which on a 'logic' principle, (which might not always ipso facto be affirmed as entirely correct,) which might, have an impact on perceptions of them by some members of the Muslim who might have views on the Gaza oppression issue; 'sorry', in today's world of information exchange in the seconds, fatwa sharing in the seconds, Muslim individuals in the large, about roughly a third to a half of the earth's population just on the post Muhammad (sla..) emphasis count, are not the simple and run over by by 2+2, 2-1 theories.

Issues need to confronted and ironed out, within entities, on a neighbor to neighbor basis, and global basis, done peacefully, done well-informed, without any games, done fairly.

Drones and nukes are not necessarily the same thing. As matter of fact, the the regular person, a drone can be any number of things, just flying or swimming robot taking pictures, drop a box a food off, or used to ram into something, independent of what's inside. Nuclear material can be independent of what houses it, a robot, a suitcase, a drone, a factory.

With one big fusion of tensions, Gaza, Ukraine, Russia, US, Iran, the competition for polarity, Russia-Ukraine theater, or Gaza theater, might not exist as it was over the past couple of years.

At this time, there are some uncomfortable divides going on, politically, militarily, and religiously, and they all affect each other.
