Here’s a thread on how I look at geopolitics.
State actors rarely act ideologically.
Everyone was blinded by Zionist ideology, obscuring their ability to look at the landscape objectively.
States always act to maximise security, power, influence, or a combination of all.
Ideological states do not survive.
Think of USSR.
Power is always priority.
Everything takes a backseat when it comes to survival.
Military strength, economic influence, political stability are the key determinants of power.
If a state doesn’t have any of the above, they have no leverage in diplomatic relations.
