One of the main points made by Pro-Resistance analysts as well as those who’re genuinely neutral is the degree of predictability regarding the Zionist and Outlaw US Empire/NATO responses to Al-Aqsa Flood, thus the Axis-of-Resistance as they call themselves can react appropriately as they know their opponents’s chess moves before they make them—a very important strategic advantage that almost always results in defeat of the opponent in chess. Those who have followed Alastair Crooke’s analysis of West Asia and Ukraine’s happening will be familiar with that. One piece of evidence that’s part of the long ongoing context to the West Asia’s struggle to become liberated is the Iranian missile strikes in response to the Zionist/Empire Terrorist Foreign Legions attacks against Iranians. We saw what happened after Trump had Soleimani assassinated in 2000—very precise and powerful Iranian missiles wrecked a portion of a key airbase while not killing anybody because it gave warning. The attack today targeted a Zionist collaborator who thought his safe house was safe since it was adjacent to the US Consulate in Ebril—4 Iranian missiles cancelled him, his family and his house without touching the Consulate. Another strike was carried out in Syria targeting a base of Terrorist Foreign Legion assets, but there’s little info now about that outcome. The point is Iran can conduct strikes when it desires, not when it’s forced. AND Iran has the capability to raze all US/NATO military bases in West Asia. Plus, the Ebril strike showed US AD incapable of deterring such an attack.
Whatever the maneuvers of Israel and Hezbollah and the CYA messages from the Biden administration, I agree with Crooke and others that a wider war is inevitable. The Houthis are now hitting US ships whether or not bound for Israel and Iran's strike in Iraq is clearly a carefully considered retaliation for recent US/Israeli moves inside Iran. Biden and Israel will have to respond with more escalation.
The only thing uncertain is how long it will take to go to open war between the main parties: weeks? Months?
Meanwhile, Simplicius has a semi-free post up claiming that Europe is "preparing for war with Russia" in order to cancel the US election. I view that whole thing as delusional on everyone's part.
They mention NATO sending 300,000 troops to defend the Baltics. What 300,000 troops? They don't have any.
They describe all sorts of Russian maneuvers regarding Belarus and Kaliningrad which to my amusement resemble precisely what I think Russia will do in terms of reinforcing its western borders - except that apparently the US and NATO intend to use those moves as reason to start a war.
Personally I think the whole thing is a scam precisely to screw with the US elections. The US won't actually start a war with Russia, just huff and puff and send troops scurrying around while the compliant MSM convince the stupid US electorate that they have to not vote for Trump - because he's "Putin's puppet" - which everyone still believes - and therefore must vote for Biden.
It will be the same circus that the 2016 and 2020 elections were: Russian conspiracy theories and vote-stealing conspiracy theories all at the same time the US is bogged down in the Middle East and everyone forgets about Ukraine completely which is to Biden's advantage.
Personally I couldn't care less as long as they don't start actually shooting at Russians. 'cuz they might shoot back and that puts me at risk.
Thank you, Karl. As always, Alastair Crooke is simply superb!
Hi Karl, minor typo. Trump had Solemeini assassinated in 2020.
