American foreign policy suffers from fundamental constraints. Principally, whatever the parasites in control deem best for their Zionist project. This enables rivals to outmaneuver the U.S. as the military and economic power with which it dominated the globe is checked by more than just nuclear threats. Everybody used to be North Korea in the sense it was the same trick up both Russia and China’s sleeves. Not anymore.

Or is there no opening for an anti-Putin candidate? Has the party been so corrupted by Trump and Trumpism that there aren’t even flickering embers left of the legacy of Reagan? Have the spirit of freedom and a sense of honor departed once and for all from the Republican Party?

The hypocritical, disingenuous sanctimony is their most infuriating trait.The debacle in Ukraine serves as a horrific demonstration of the new multi-polar reality. No amount of conventional force or support by the U.S. and its vassals is going to change the outcome. This only pads the butcher’s tally. It’s impossible to hide that now. No presidential aspirant is willing to tie themselves to a time bomb despite the nonsense Americans are still being fed. Another Kabul/Saigon scene would be a nightmare on the campaign trail.

Those were heady days in the early 2000s. Saddam Hussein got pulled out of a hole, and the disaster in Iraq wasn’t clear yet. If I recall correctly, we’d just finished PT when it was announced over a loudspeaker. Everyone cheered. There was plenty of talk about how Iran was next. It was certainly in the cards. Nobody seemed cognizant that a mountainous nation comparable in size to Western Europe would be different than subduing a Baghdad-to-Basra corridor largely through covert bribery.

This really worked out well. The grand strategy turned into a catastrophe. Iran (which used to rule the place) was able to reassert influence over the Shia in Iraq and establish an arc reaching all the way to Israel. Over a million perished and the Iraqis later signed huge oil and infrastructure deals with the Chinese. One would surmise that had to be somewhat out of spite. In some cases, they even underbid U.S. companies. Control over our foreign policy doesn’t equate to basic competence.

Like our other “enemies” who pose no threat to White Americans, the Iranians are far more capable than they’re given credit in establishment discourse. After the project failed in Iraq and moved to Syria, they allied with the Russians in a decisive effort to thwart it. Iran brought in tens of thousands of mercenaries and volunteers from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, along with providing other vital support.

For religious and historical reasons, Iran regards itself as the protector of Shia Muslims. As a matter of theology, it considers all Muslim monarchies to be illegitimate. For Saudi Arabia, this made it an existential threat, as the primary reason the country exists is the Sunni (Wahhabist) House of Saud.

To make sense out of Saudi Arabia, consider what the situation would be like in the UK if it was called “Windsor Britannia” and the Royal Family had thousands of members who consider the Isles, inhabited by various tribes, its private property. Moreover, there’s a lateral succession in which agnatic primogeniture doesn’t designate the next king. This creates de-stabilizing ambitions and insecurities in a family so paranoid it won’t employ citizens as guards or allow its armed forces free access to ammunition.

Imagine if this Protestant monarchy classifies Catholics, who comprise a large percentage of the population, as heretics and represses them accordingly. What sort of complications would arise if the world’s best oil field is underneath Catholic feet? What if France declared itself the liberator of Catholics and was currently sponsoring an insurgency in Ireland with drones striking British oil infrastructure? What if the rest of the kingdom is essentially bribed to accept the legitimacy of the Windsors, who are increasingly unable to afford the practice due to population growth?

Indeed, the Saudis are in a precarious position vis-à-vis Iran. In service to Israel, the U.S. wants Iran collapsed and regime-changed. The best it could offer the Saudis was utilization for this purpose, which had extremely dubious prospects for success and posed a lethal level of risk.

The Chinese are different. They’re a major purchaser of oil from Iran. It’s also a linchpin in their Belt and Road Initiative. They’re a crucial customer of the Saudis as well, meaning they have plenty to lose from a regional conflict. Since their foreign policy is guided by their own interests rather than Zionism, that puts China in a position to facilitate a deal to everyone’s benefit. It doesn’t look like it cost them much of anything.

To adapt Reagan's words from his speech of June 8, 1982, one trusts "the march of freedom and democracy" will leave these three regimes "on the ash-heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people." pic.twitter.com/Nhlor9RX0h

It’s all so tiresome. Both parties have more pressing issues than their mutual enmity. However, they lacked the initiative to put it on the back burner without a powerful 3rd party like China (Russia is on board, as well) to smooth things out and incentivize them to cooperate.

Yet again, the Zionists have been out-played because they don’t have anything constructive to offer and their plans keep ending in disaster. Their only recourse would be the invasion of Iran (the original plan included using rail lines through Azerbaijan, an incredible undertaking), which the U.S. no longer has the means to attempt. What else is left, a coup against Crown Prince (de facto king) Mohammed Bin Salman? That would be the most feasible option, but the Chinese and Russians would intervene to protect their client. He’s proving much more adept than he was portrayed by the U.S. media.

In retrospect, I was wildly overoptimistic about the prospects of exporting democracy by force, underestimating both the difficulties and the costs of such a massive undertaking. I am a neocon no more, at least as that term has been understood since 9/11. https://t.co/JhztGTgtrz

Millions of deaths and trillions of dollars later, time to re-brand my Semitic scam once again. This guy is a premier “conflict expert” somehow. Oh, wait we know how. Sanctions and force are the only tools at America’s disposal. Sanctions have never worked. Now force isn’t, either. What’s left is whining about our values and the “rules-based international order.”

The Medusa of the Neocons. They get so much wrong they can’t keep track and delete stuff. LOL:

While the US banking sector is collapsing and de-industrialization is weakening Europe the most sanctioned country in the world (Russia) is reporting a record high trade surplus +67% with exports up 20% making the Biden admin look incompetent and increasingly impotent globally.

Zionists will never be able to accept defeat and reform their behavior, so that’s a factor in whether or not this will culminate in a bang or a whimper. What’s starting to happen is that some of them are altering their disguise as they’ve done in the past (Trotskyists to Neocons, for example) to keep things moving in the same direction. I resent being along for the ride, but it should be interesting to see how this transpires. They might destroy civilization, but they’ll never win. Get very worried about the former, not the latter.

Good luck with bombing their nuclear program! On a macabre level, this is all hilarious. The post Outmaneuvered, Once Again appeared first on Identity Dixie.
