If they only care about their world and to further their own goals in the middle east and don&#x27;t actually care about the west directly (we are a pretext), and don&#x27;t plan to extend their power beyond their historic influence, how would anything happening in the west be to their benefit?<p>They already have all their lines of reason to collectively paint the west as an enemy, the west can&#x27;t be made &quot;double enemy&quot;. It&#x27;s already the enemy, so what benefit is it to them we have self inflicted wounds, unless they have sights on expanding their dominion to the west?
