The term “October Surprise” comes from an event during the Regan administration in October of a Presidential election year.
Today is October 1st, during a Presidential election.
It is, by definition, US-centric. It wouldn’t make sense to call events around the world October surprises.
At the same time, “Israel” has launched a ground invasion – fully backed by the top two candidates for President, hundreds of people are dead with thousands stranded after a hurricane during hurricane season that has Katrina-levels of incompetence, and a major labor action threatens to disrupt the churn of consumption in the capital of capitalism.
