Last week, the Mainstream Media was talking up a story that Iran was backing down on its threat to retaliate against Israel with a major strike-- afraid of a major war with the US.
Russia is not a peer adversary. America wouldn’t last two months in a conventional conflict. Heck, we’d be out of tanks and planes within days of deploying them. We ain’t close to being a peer adversary to them.
As always happens, we will learn this the hard way when we go in waving our dicks in the wrong faces, and get them cut off and fed to us.
Great analysis. Thank you. I especially like how you posted the American military forces in the region. A few dozen ships, at least half of them Coast Guard cutters(WTF is the Coast Guard doing overseas, anyway?) or support vessels.
Notice all those Arleigh Burke-class DDGs? They were brand-spanking new in the 1980s when I was in the Navy. Some ships are even older than that, with all of the maintenance issues one would expect. This is the reason they are shortening deployments and rotating things like carrier task forces more rapidly than they used to, and the Blinken & Sullivan Administration is using that to make it look like they are responding more forcefully than they actually are.
The Navy knows it would lose an aircraft carrier if the US attacks Iran. B&S know Iran would shut down the Straits of Hormuz and shut off 1/6th of the world's oil supply within hours. This is all smoke and mirrors, much like our election campaigns.
"Of course, one has to ignore [Trump's] assassination of General Soleimani— which he now blames on his then Secretary of State, the odiously pompous Pompeo".
That dog won't hunt. "The buck stops here" - Truman was a horrible man, but he was right about that.
Serious desperation in Doha right now. Hamas accepted the Biden/Israel July 2 deal. Israel backed out. Hamas' position is: the July 2 deal we accepted is as far as we will go. Give us a call when you accept it, otherwise, it's over and you're going to get quashed by the Axis. Everyone on both sides knows if there's a wider war Israel will lose and the US then has to decide whether to jump in and lose too, and crash most of the world's economy while they're at it. I don't see the Axis backing down or giving much during the current negotiations. I really don't see the current confrontation being primarily between the Axis and Israel. I see it as between the US and Israel/Netanyahu. The US intelligence/military has no illusions about what the implications are. They may back Israel with purely defensive actions, ie shooting down drone and missiles, but they will likely tell Israel point blank, we won't attack the Axis for you. Maybe Netanyahu proceeds with insanity anyway, believing he can force the US into war. But, outside of a horrendous false-flag, I'm thinking the deep state in particular will step back from US national suicide. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit. We'll see.
Guess it depends on how crazy the Americans are. Getting involved in a war with Iran would be crazy-- irrational. Unfortunately, American policy has not been rational for years.
Its about The Empire and what is behind it, they call it the Deep-state sometimes.
I will now here give hesitantly what i sense about the true structure of the Power behind The Empire.
It is not something you can "touch" , nor "talk to". Rather it can be called "Money" or "a spiritual being", as it is named by Theosophists and in Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy.
I have to clarify that name:
When you invent a joke, a funny joke, a never before heard one... Once you tell it or tweet it on X, how long do you think it takes to reach most continents ? Hours... And it will have reached many millions within days. That "Joke" travels through a virtual space that is in our heads.
Our Social Virtual Reality as i call it. And it causes everyone who hears or reads it to laugh...
OK. That "Joke" is "A Spiritual being", travelling through the shared Human Virtual Social Reality, like Religions, Myths, Fairy tales, Science, Narratives and Ideologies...
I have been naming the Empire "The Crumbling Anglo-Zionist Empire" for some years now.
But i changed it very recently in: "The Collapsing Evil Zionist Empire", because the Anglo-Saxon part of it which has been part of it since after the fall of Rome, had been ousted in the recent White-House Coup.
It consists of many Narratives, Myths, Religion, Ideologies and such, but with the specific target being the Rich, the Elites. Not the "working people". They all signify the right of the Elites to enrich themselves from the masses. Sometimes "Guru's" or leaders rise in secrecy and sometimes they wage wars, of course using "proxies" to fight them.
I used the name "Money", which stands for "property", with as symbol a Key, to limit access to "The Owner".
So... Fighting the Evil Zionist Empire, is fighting a spiritual being. Possibly even more than 1.
Never forget that.
I hope i used the right words and of course i'll reply on questions...
We lost to Vietnam
We lost to Afghanistan
We had to flee Iraq

Good points. America is no longer ...um.. peerless.

That is what I was saying albeit indirectly. You said it more succinctly Thank you.

Thank you again Julian.
A good and proper analysis.
