There was a time when humans had the courtesy to confine wars to frontiers. When conflict erupted, it erupted elsewhere. You could read about it, shake your head, perhaps even lament it over coffee, but it rarely trespassed into your food prices, your currency, your inbox, or your conscience. That era is over. The Israel-Iran confrontation, a clash between two powers without shared borders, proves this irrevocably. We live in a world where distance no longer insulates; it only delays the reckoning.The tragedy of our age is not that war persists, but that we have folded its horror into habit. We call this modern life. The globalised system we built to ferry capital and collaboration now carries consequences with chilling efficiency. When missiles stall shipping lanes, sanctions void contracts, or algorithms radicalise minds oceans away, we glimpse the true cost of connectivity. This is no longer about isolated tragedies. It is about systemic collapse—the steady erosion of oceans, cyberspace, and climate frameworks into dark theatres of grey warfare. Sabotaged cables, ransomware, disinformation: these are the embers drifting from distant fires, igniting chaos in our own backyard.
