The Peace President has started WW III

I was listening to DefSec... I mean WarSec "Pistol Pete" Hegseth's update on the Iran war. Apparently the good guys are kicking the shit out of the bad guys, unleashing hell, punching them while they're down, devastating them without mercy - as things should be when you're waging a REAL war in the name of God, as opposed to the faggy woke wars America used to conduct under communists like Obama and Biden. Ya, the exceptionalist rhetoric is utterly mind-boggling. I can't imagine God being on the side of warmongering retarded arseholes like Hegseth. But I've been wrong before. Like when I advised my readers to dump their appl back in 2012, and maybe a couple of other times. I've probably got two dozen posts out there over the last 15 years predicting the demise of the wily Erdogan. To my chagrin, not only has the Sultan defied my predictions, he is wilier and more influential than ever. Trump is taking us into uncharted territory. America's loss of every war they've instigated in the past half century hasn't deterred the Orange Ogre from instigating one with Iran, a country far more capable than any of the failed states America has been driven out of over the past 50 years. The American Empire has never looked more precarious.

Israel and the wars to come

As the calendar rolls over, national media are hyping up anti-China, anti-Russia, and anti-Iran hysteria. 

We shouldn't roll over for the propaganda.

If you've been paying attention, you'll know that our mainstream media has been busy getting us to see the nations of the world as the Good Guys and the Bad Guys.

The Good Guys are the Anglo-American Empire, its colonies and camp followers. The EU. NATO. The Nations of Virtue and the Axis of Kindness. We are led by the Light unto the Nations, City on a Hill, the Greatest Democracy and Military and all the usual claptrap ad infinitum.

The Bad Guys are those nations who have notions of freedom from US dominance.

And, led by Xi and Putin, the Bad Guys have been getting way too uppity. They've been making demands and threats all over the place.

Uncle Sam needs to put his foot down, and soon!

Which brings us to Israel, a charter member of the Nations of Virtue.

As everyone knows, Israel has outsize influence in the corridors of power throughout the Anglo-American empire. Israel is by far the biggest recipient of US "foreign aid," which aid generally comes in the form of bombs and bullets.

At the same time, Israel also has cosy relations with two out of three members of the Troika of Tyranny, as the erstwhile warmonger John Bolton has framed it.

When the current cold war with Russia turns hot, it will be interesting to see what US allies do. The recent NATO add-ons in Eastern Europe will be howling for US/NATO involvement, as will the Western world's legacy media.

With the exception of Boris' UK, there isn't a lot of enthusiasm for escalation in the original NATO bloc.

Open warfare with Russia will split NATO. When that war goes south for the Good Guys, the second tier allies like Canada and Australia will melt away.

The fascinating question is, what will Israel do?

As much as the Israelis would like to see Iran obliterated, Israel is up a stump. There have been way too many retired IDF brass speculating in public how many rockets and missiles Iran's regional allies have for Israel to consider an attack on Iran, and Iran has various bilateral mutual support agreements with Russia and China.

When push comes to shove, and American hubris and over-reach leads to the end of the American Empire, I don't think the Israelis will be pitching in for the losing side.

Putin prepared to pounce?

Media are chock-full of speculation that Bad Vlad is about to annex the Ukraine.

This strikes me as dubious. Ukraine is for all intents and purposes a failed state. The US-managed "Revolution of Dignity" didn't deliver much in the way of dignity, or anything else.

Why would Putin want to take on that mess?

There's a larger agenda in play. America is an empire in decline. It gets harder over time to play world hegemon when you haven't won a war since 1945. Many nations in the "Western" bloc continue to take instructions from Washington, but the obvious rot within the "City on a Hill" makes it an increasingly unappealing role model.

Contrast that to our adversaries, ie those nations not willing to take directions from DC. 

China's momentum is going in the opposite direction from America's. Unless we do something drastic soon, China is bound to prevail.

Russia has been a threat to American interests in looting Russia ever since Putin came in and put the run to hyenas like Bill Browder. Unfortunately, Russia also, by all accounts, is a decade ahead of us in hypersonic missile technology. Russia's trajectory also seems to be going in the opposite direction.

When a failing empire is gasping for breath, bad shit is bound to happen.

If we can just goad the Russians and/or the Chinese into reacting to one of our provocations, we'll be fully justified to hit 'em hard with all we got.

The freedom of the world depends on it...

Armageddon is coming sooner than you think.
