But what else will influence what you become as a person? Your genes. You're 50% of your mothers genes and 50% of your fathers. So that you are similar to them is no surprise.
For Europe we will probably go back to normal trade relationship after a few terms without a MAGA.
European defense will prioritise domestic spending, which was probably the intention because we can then sell you bombs if you end up in a conflict with China.
European IT spending will also favour domestic stuff instead of American companies for a very long time, but without any upside like the arms industry.
The region is still very important from a geopolitical standpoint. As last months oil prices have shown.
Israel don't have (m)any friends in the region. They are a reasonably stable democracy. This makes them a dependable ally. What would happen if there was a revolution in Saudi Arabia for example? Probably something similar to Iran 1979.
So having Israel as an ally is a huge multiplier in power projection in the region.
Why do you need to project power when it's so expensive? It's sort of what superpowers do. Meddle in the affairs of smaller countries to further their own goals. If not the US then Russia or China.
They did not stay out of war by not being armed, rather the opposite. A mountainous country with a large army would be very difficult to invade in the first place and then very costly to control.
My guess? At some point an actor on stage had to show the audience that the character really need to pee. Whatever movement they did evolved to the dance we have now over generations. We don't do it because it helps but because it's what you're supposed to do.
I'd be surprised if it was consistent across cultures. I'd not be surprised if someone had done research on this.
Politics: practicality before ideology. My (your) favourite ideology has flaws. Policies that are effective should be enacted, policies that are ineffective should not, regardless of being left or right.
If you asked me how to get a static shock from touching any metal appliance I'd tell you to experiment with different materials of sock and different carpets.
I doubt it has to do anything with your biology or adhd (unless it causes you run around on the carpet more)
Bunnies like math! How else would they be so good at multiplying?
