Israel Finds New Allies in Undermining Regional Stability
Bloomberg reports Israel has recognized Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, highlighting a 'new partner on the strategic Red Sea coast.' This isn't just a sudden affinity for self-determination; it's a classic geopolitical maneuver. The mainstream media frames this as a strategic win, conveniently omitting how similar 'recognition deals' often destabilize existing nations to create proxies.
Remember when the US and its allies were so concerned about 'territorial integrity'? Apparently, that only applies when it's not Israel carving out new leverage. The timing, amid international outrage over Gaza, suggests a 'look over here!' distraction while continuing to consolidate power wherever possible. One might wonder if Somaliland's sovereignty, much like Palestinian sovereignty, will now
be subject to the whims of its new 'ally's' strategic interests.
