SMOKERS’ CORNER: HOW THE WEST LOST THE NARRATIVE

European leadership is grappling with a significant loss of global support as the narrative around the Russia-Ukraine conflict wanes. The spotlight has shifted to the Middle East, where the international community is increasingly condemning Israel's military actions in Gaza, which have led to the tragic deaths of over 85,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians. This shift in focus has the potential to undermine Western influence on global issues, as tensions escalate into a broader conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran, highlighting the West's diminishing moral authority on the global stage.
