Since its inception, man has responded with violence to his most intense emotions, such as hatred for another whose evil he desires and revenge as a punishment for those who insult him; They are followed by greed for obtaining more goods, enslaving the defeated. The social instinct made him join others; This is how society developed, climbing from family, clan, tribe, confederation of tribes, city-states, kingdoms, empires, to mostly consolidated state-states from the 19th century to the present day. In order to survive, they assigned and continue to assign members with warrior skills to defend, attack, and conquer similar organizations. Here is born the only mission of the armed forces imposed by the policy of those who rule: to win the war, with the purpose of avoiding slavery.

The political causes of war can be territorial, economic, religious, ideological or civilizational expansion, whose set of customs and knowledge strengthens depending on who wins the war. Here the concept of a new world order appears, whose hegemonic power has changed throughout history following the cycle of birth, reaching glory, being replaced and integrated into history books such as Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Persian, Spanish, English, Turkish-Ottoman, Russian … In the 20th century, the American language emerged with hegemonic power; It is not possible to distinguish whether it has reached its maximum brightness, because many countries in danger seek its help and protection.

Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) summed it up: “War is the continuation of politics by other means.”

After the deadly Second World War, states created the UN, the Security Council and other organizations to maintain peace through dialogue and respect for human rights, which is a dead letter. Just look at the huge flow of information circulating on the Internet about current wars: Israel-Hamas, Russia-Ukraine, Syria, African countries and more than 50 others.

The Palestinian terrorist Islamic resistance movement Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, carried out a massive surprise rocket attack and raids on Israeli territory, causing deaths and kidnappings. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war and vowed revenge; is conducting an offensive that wipes the safe havens of Palestinian militias off the map. In support, the United States sent an aircraft carrier and warships to the Mediterranean Sea, off Israel; It has a naval force to control the Red Sea. Hamas has the open and secret support of the Arab countries of the Middle East and others such as Iran, Russia…; They therefore have the capacity to continue launching air missiles; some surprisingly miss Iron Dome or Israel’s air defense shield. Is the defense system that was supposed to be the best in the world working successfully?

We seem to be approaching a world war, more dramatic than any in history; The strongest will win in the end and will lead the new world order, if we survive; Hatred and revenge prevail in political decisions, causing death. Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) summed it up: “War is the continuation of politics by other means.” (OR)
