It Appears Little to No Chess is Involved in a Chess Game of Some of the Biggest International News of Today

Posted by HCN on Saturday, February 21, 2026
If there is anyone out there that does not know that there are tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and tensions between Israel and Palestine, it must be a really, really, far flung situation.
Maybe a woolly mammoth coming back to life a few thousand years after coming out from underneath a huge block of ice, isn't as surreal as it seems.

Anyhow, those two tensions, Russia/Ukraine, and Palestine/Israel, as of as we speak, persist as hotbeds. There's nothing funny, nothing cynical, and of course the matters are serious.

They are so serious, it may beg the question, why increment the severity of the steps with respect to media stories?
These and other questions which make people think, why the attempt to hold everyone in suspense, over moves that could have been made centuries ago or centuries in the future.

Let's take a look at some of these topics, as well as current events.

News outlets say Israel has recently bombed Lebanon in the search for Hezebolla members.

That has been a recurrence for decades at least.

It happened a few months ago. It happened in the 80s.

It is also understood that the referent two sets of tensions, have the tendency to drag in and envelope other nations.

News announced recently, Russia warns that Ukraine being equipped with missiles with capacity to strike deeper into Russia, could be cause for broader more intensified response or at least the potentiality thereunto.

Broader more intensified potentialities- was that not somewhere around the baseline of concerns during the Cold War?

People, many people, have heard of the concept of the Armageddon. Some people consider it as equivocates to WWIII. It's nothing new, and developments are certainly not going to succeed in getting some people caught up to the degree as though it was as real as it is when parable.

On that tune, Mike Huckabee and his recent statements--
There might be some questions whether he has a few things conflated.
Conflation is a good concept to understand in these times especially when there are numerous media outlets with many varying opinions, and AI (art. intelligence), that can get matters conflated by accident.

Illustrating as an example, using relevant terms, Jews - when was the three letter word as such in English as such in English? What is the connection between Jews, Israel, Palestine?, the connection between Muslim, Israel, Palestine?
A conversation could easily go with Mr Huckabee from for instance another interviewer, -numerous books discuss Israel, is what you say, a say all reflective of all, or your take, strait, channel etc., on matters?
Huckabee views on 100% same page as US policy?

Check out the article and the statement:

Those are the kinds of statements that could stir pots of discomfort up. 

Who exactly is 'they' in 'it would be fine if they took it all'?, Huckabee's perspective, reality, the future, myth, fairy tales, destiny, propaganda under the banner of destiny whether all or some truth, or barely any, a whole lot of varying perspectives? Some level of sensitivity may be appropriate, regardless of the exact case of the matter.

Note. October 11, 2025.
Multiple locations (outside Palestine/Israel) of political offices (whether just rumored or fully true) for both current 'sides', in the Muslim versus Israel tension that makes its appearance in popular news these days, might be having an effect/affect on the dynamics of what locations targets are being selected, in the back and forth striking, retaliation, suspected locations of operatives, loop.
