What do Putin, Trump & Netanyahu have in common?

When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.
It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).
Here are my thoughts and analysis on the subject in the shape of a table.
What do you think?
Took me a while to make this :)
Please share if you think this makes sense!
*Focusing on recent / ongoing conflicts!

Shouldn't Trump have crackdown on protests? He hates protesters, advocates "non lethal" actions against them, has killed several, and docs and intimidates others.
Also a good case that Trump has effectively changed the legal system. The justice department is full of loyalists who work for him, not the USA.
I was trying to relate this to the use of conflicts, while it may be true, - he was already doing this before the conflicts and could be doing this without them I think. Thank you for mentioning it though :)
Saw a post few hours ago that apparently the feds are massively stocking up on ,,less lethal" chemical weapons... I guess that translates to tear gas etc. So the crackdown might be coming, maybe after he manipiulated the midterms and still lost.
