Russia started their latest meat wave assault on Awdijiwka just hours after Hamas attacked Israel.
This marked the start of the russian winter offense. Putin was able to distract the media attention for a few weeks but he wasn't able to actually take Awdijiwka.
Iran had massive public banners unrolled just hours after the Hamas attacks. They are all in it.
As long as putin is a free man, governments like North Korea and Venezuela are encouraged to use their military or at least try to blackmail their neighbours.
You could likewise say that it's a ripple effect from russian and Chinese colonialism/imperialism.
