How and why did this war start?
It didn't begin with Operation Epic Failure.
It didn't begin in 1979 with the installation of the Ayatollah in Tehran.
It didn't even begin in 1953 with the overthrow of Iran's government by the MI6 and CIA.
Some say it began in the 19th century with the Masonic proclamation of engineering three world wars, the last of which is to be fought between Muslims and Zionists.
The fact is the how and why doesn't matter when the shooting starts.
There's a ton of historical literature on why WWI began and why the Civil War was fought.
European leaders thought the First World War would end by Christmas 1914 and then the reality of modern warfare hit them in the face. The war dragged on and crossed thresholds beyond their 19th-century imagination was capable of grasping.
I believe it was a mass human sacrifice ritual and not a war in the traditional understanding. It ended with the ritual killing of the Romanovs, the dissolution of many empires, and the mass killings of subject races in the Ottoman Empire.
And one fact that's forgotten and not discussed in Western literature is Iran experienced a mass famine during that war, largely as a result of British policies, that caused the deaths of millions.
This war will probably end just as badly, for all parties involved. Famines are definitely on the agenda.
The consequences of this war, should it continue, will be cataclysmic.
There's no point in following the Trump White House for official statements. I think they've all gone nuts, starting at the top.
The Secretary of War, the guy who's obsessed with building the Third Temple, is just out here saying whatever's on the tip of his tongue, threatening the entire Iranian nation with death. He's making no sense.
During the second Bush era the Iraq war was sold to the public by competent psychopaths. Cheney had a functioning brain. He was sharp. Rumsfeld was a philosopher of war. These Trump guys are like little children playing with fire.
I'm trying to discern their strategy but there isn't one.
Is the American-Israeli political objective to win over the Iranian population and install a new regime or wipe Iran off the map? Do they think a handful of Kurds, Baluch tribes, and lowly Azerbaijan can bring down the terror apparatus of the Iranian state in a time of war?
Unless Trump has a Mongol army that we don't know about that can descend on Iran from the East, he's going to have admit he overplayed his hand and swallow his pride.
What are Trump's military options? Nuke Iranian cities to make Iranians submit to sheer terror? Invade Iran with a million robot army?
Even then Iran will still fight because it has no other choice. The Americans and the Jews have given them no room to maneuver politically. It will fight to the death
And the same is true for Israel. It will fight to the end, in the only way it knows how. That's why I've always criticized the Islamic Republic's policy regarding Israel. Israel has to be recognized, not ostracized. Muslims have to cool down the Jews with kindness and make them feel part of the Middle East.
But they must know their place. They're not a superpower. They can't just go around killing people, assassinating leaders, and invading countries like they own the place.
And that's only possible by ending Jewish supremacy in Washington. A regime change in Washington will do America good, as well as the Jews and Muslims.
Once Israel loses its grasp over the American empire it will come back down to earth and be forced to meet Muslims on an equal footing. Then there's a possibility for a permanent peace to be established.
