Why the 2026 War Never Truly Began
from Nicholas S. Kondisenko Podcast Hosted by Nicholas S. Kondisenko
Kondisenlo argues that the Israel–Iran war of 2026 is not a spontaneous event, but rather the manifestation of deep-seated structural tensions established decades ago. Nicholas S. Kondisenko explores how the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and subsequent British administration created an unresolved architecture of conflicting promises and overlapping territorial claims. This historical framework allowed pressure to accumulate through migration, state formation, and the growth of regional power networks until it finally became visible as open warfare. The author suggests that modern systems lack cycles of release, such as the ancient Shemitah, causing instability to store up within global energy and security infrastructures. Ultimately, the source portrays the conflict as a predictable activation of a flawed design left behind by past empires. By viewing history through this systemic lens, the text asserts that the current violence is a direct expression of an order that was never truly settled. Get full access to Nicholas S.
