As i been reading in the news and reserching things, i come to a conclusion, that the protests in Iran and the war in Ukraine, were not a normal action and were carefully planned and orchestrated by the powers. As for Iran, i think the plan was to cause internal strife because of the failed nuclear deal, and a potential US or Isreali strike on its nuclear facilities. The plan was to start turmoil in iran from the inside, i guess a military strike would most likley lead to a wider conflict and i guess the idea was to cause internal strife or try to bring iran down from the inside to avoid this possibility. as For Russia and ukraine,i think this was the same strategy as the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. To Arm and support the opposition like they did with the afghan mujahideen, to lower the moral of the russian army, to inflict losses and to possibly cause a strain finiancially like with the soviet union. Also to possibly incite a coup against Putin. So the whole plan was to shake these two regimes and possibly make it easier for the west to avoid any futrure or possible confrentations or conflicts,WWIII.
