How would you feel if you lived in a country that had lost biological food security ? 80 percent of your pork production destroyed by Swine Flu , 60 percent of chickens killed by bird flu . The Biological Laboratory built and financed by foreigners gets a reputation for leaking and is blamed for latest Global Pandemic .Locusts plaguing your food supplies from other sources ,Strategic Frozen food stocks that were supposed to last two years down to the last three months of supply .The frozen food you are importing is polluted with the Covid virus , fishing stocks are being denied by hostile neighbours . Might be grounds for some home grown conspiracy theories ? Add earthquakes , floods and storms of unusually intensity . You might start to believe in conspiracy theories or divine intervention or even that the Gods are angry . You might even start to think you are under attack .

You might even start to believe throwing a few virgins into the nearest Volcano might improve the situation. Would it matter if the Virgins are male or female or identify as female or male to the modern Gods ? Or you might think the rest of the world is against you and welcome the first friendly gesture .

Aristotle said “War is easy , Peace is Hard “ Keeping the peace in that region is going to be very hard .
