The Global Impact of Gaza and Ukraine's Turmoil

The globalized reactions to conflicts like the Gaza war and the Ukraine war reveal a deep crisis of meaning and legitimacy in the modern world. People from around the globe, driven by ontological insecurity and the need for identity, internalize these conflicts and turn them into wars of victimhood, seeking catharsis and a sense of unity. Meanwhile, political establishments instrumentalize these conflicts to legitimize their power and ideologies. This phenomenon, known as "transferred nationalism," allows individuals and nations to attain moral capital and social prestige without altering their conduct.

Economist Jeffrey Sachs argues that the US debt crisis is largely fueled by nonstop wars since the start of the century, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Ukraine, which have cost over $8 trillion. Sachs criticizes both parties for not addressing the elephant in the room, which is the massive US military budget, and instead proposing cuts to government programs for the poorest people. He also highlights the bipartisan support for wars of choice and lies, driven by the military-industrial complex and neoconservatives, and warns of the risks of a potential war with China. Sachs calls for negotiations to stop the Ukraine war and reduce the military budget to save lives, the world, and the budget.
