While the world watches the devastating spread of the coronavirus, the territorial and geopolitical aspirations of various world powers continue apace. Turkey and Russia, already opposing forces in Syria, have extended the contest to Libya, where each seeks a military foothold in the north African country. NATO member Turkey has already acquired from Libya questionable rights to waters off the coasts of disputed Cyprus and ancient enemy and NATO ally Greece. Israel has increased its airstrikes against Syria and in another contravention of international law prepares to annex portions of the occupied West Bank. The United States has sent three naval aircraft carriers, each capable of carrying 60 fighter jets, to waters outside China. And meanwhile, the Lebanese state is unable to serve its people who continue their protests and the United Nations warns that the world is now facing a famine more devastating than the pandemic.
