Not the intellect but the nuclear weapons directs the processes in the world

Unfortunately  the world or in other words humanity follows the principle of physical power and not the intellect. We see this clearly in relations between countries.

Let us give an example about the relation between Russia and Turkey. Before months there has been great tension between Russia and Turkey because of the situation in the city of Idlib in Syria. Syrian military forces backed by Russian planes attacked the city to conquer it. On the other hand, Turkey declared that it would intervene in what going on in Idlib and would not let the Syrian army occupy the city.

If we look at the statements made by the politicians of these two countries, Russia and Turkey, they seem to be first and foremost based on the military power that each country has.

We will not address the claims of each party but the positions of each. When Turkey declares that it will intervene in the fighting in Idlib, it relies on its military force, which, as it is known, is far stronger than Syria's military force. On the other hand, when Russia declares that it will stand alongside the Syrian army, it relies first on the nuclear weapons it has and which is expressed in statements by Russian politicians. And, why are they relying on nuclear weapons? because Russia and Turkey are more or less have the same conventional power, and perhaps Turkey have more advanced weapons coming from Western countries.

The reliance on nuclear weapons can also be seen in Russia-Israel relations on the Syrian issue. For example, Israel attacks Syria from time to time, regardless of Russia's presence in Syria. After every such attack, Russia expresses regret for this attack, but it does not threaten to respond against Israel as it responds against Turkey. And why is Russia responding in such a way? because Israel is a nuclear state and cannot be threatened in such a simple way.

In both of these cases Russia-Turkey Russia-Israel relations we clearly see that the world has not yet reached a state of common sense in order to solve the problems between the countries.

All these wars and all the struggles that exist between the countries of the world are a sign of the primitiveness of the humanity.
