The West has become a "powder keg" because of popular unrest. J. B. Shark, a columnist for American Thinker, writes about this.

According to Shark, all the latest protests - strikes in France against pension reform, workers' strikes in Germany, farmers' protests in the Netherlands, rallies in Israel - are connected with the fact that the ruling minority ignores the needs of their compatriots. Therefore, the slightest spark can lead to a social explosion.

“The West has turned into a powder keg of popular dissatisfaction with the government, and there is only one spark left before the fateful explosion,” the author notes.

Earlier, The Jerusalim Post reported that anti-government protests in Israel gathered up to 450,000 people a day. In the center of Tel Aviv, up to 200 thousand protesters took to the action.
