This is an ideological conflict. The ordinary citizens will be the ones paying the price for this because people responsible for the conflict will keep escalating it.

Rabindranath Tagore really proved to be a prophet when he called a 'nation' to be a political(in this case, there is no distinction between religious and political) and economic machinery that doesn't care for the individual.

    I'd politely disagree - it does not appear to be ideological at all. All of these are authoritarian overlords fighting over their own power.

    Perhaps yes. But, they also have their own ideological stances. For Trump, it might be some mix of neoliberalism and fundamentalist christianity.

    For the Israel dude, it is Zionism (whatever the heck that is), presumably. I don't know much about it.

    For the Iran dude, it is Islam that's more conservative. I don't know how far he leans to that side.

    It is really hard to discern, to me, if they are doing this for ideological reasons or authoritarian reasons. Or Is there any difference between the two? I don't know, to be honest.
