Things are serious. There are two types of war unfolding at present – both parallel to one-another – and occasionally overlapping. Nevertheless, this is asymmetric warfare with the US acting well within its stockpiles and industrial might (even taking into account the endless supplies delivered to the Ukrainian Neo-Nazi regime). The point is the US possessed more of everything to start with – and possess the endless resources to create more. Perhaps the greatest irony is that whilst the US government prefers a religious inspired anti-intellectualism amongst its population – when it comes to the science of war – its thinkers are spot-on and ruthlessly materialistic (everything they accused the USSR of being). When the American-British rebelled against the UK government (their government) – being essentially bourgeois – they feared the brutal and iron discipline of the English Red Coat and their Scottish (kilted) equivalent (now serving in the “British Army”). The then progressive “American” thinkers had the idea of develop bigger, better, and more powerful cannon (artillary) which could be used “at a distance” to break-up the English ranks before they reached the American positions. This reliance upon a superior technology (coupled with a disbelief in the ability of its own ground soldiers) still permeates US thinking to this day.
Today, the US is the bully of the world. It uses a blend of sanctions, threats, and overt action to get its way and mould the international community to its liking – which means to Israel’s liking. Israel destabilises the Middle East and prevents any Arab nation from becoming an economic power-house – like the US. This is premised upon Islamophobia and short-circuits the capitalist system the US states it supports – and blanket-bombs other regimes into oblivion to spread and maintain. Furthermore, as part of the primitive religiosity the US encourages – “Israel” – even in its modern fabrication – is used as a bulwark to support Christianity (in its Protestant and Catholic varieties – but not in its “Eastern Orthodox” incarnation). This is the Crusader mentality prevalent throughout medieval Europe – writ-large in the present. Supporting Zionist fascism (see the UN Resolution of 1975) is tantamount to supporting Christ himself – even though the Jewish religion soundly rejects Christianity and the Biblical texts that support and justify it. Ample footage exists of Israeli-Jews queuing-up to “spit” on Christian pilgrims as they make their way through the so-called Holy Land. The West knows this happens – but the disruptive presence of Israel is too important to draw attention to this behaviour.
When monitoring the chatter on Telegram from the pro-Iran side – I see a continuous reliance upon “faith” in the face of material reality. These Islamicists literally believe that Allah will magically create a break in the material cycle of cause and effect – and thereby grant Iran a military victory where the chances of prevailing are virtually zero. Many express anti-Semitic viewpoints, and viewpoints I have only ever encountered in the political far-right (“the USSR was Jewish” for instance). The fact that Allah has not come to the aid of any Arab or Persian regime in the last 150-years does not dent this belief in theology – in fact it strengthens it. Many Muslims supported Hitler before and drawing WWII – as his anti-Semitic viewpoints and policies were seen as Islamic friendly (the reason the UK and USSR invaded pro-Hitler Iran in 1941). After WWII, the Marxist-Leninist left supported all non-White peoples attempting to throw-off the yoke of Western imperialism. In this mix the Islamic resistance to Zionist Israel was incorporated – but there are contradictions. Many Muslims are happy to receive help from Marxists – but do not support any form of secular Socialism – and openly reject Marxism (and quite often material science). Muslims have rejected Arab Baathism (Arab Secular Socialism) on the grounds it relegated Islam to a non-political status (a private matter). This is why places like Iran allowed Iraq, Libya, and Syria to be destroyed (within reason and context). The other Muslim States – which used to support Palestine – now support Israel after being threatened by the US with the kind of regime change that Iran is currently undergoing.
