The experts knew this fight was going the distance.
Washington and Israel aimed for the surprise knockout punch in the first round but they underestimated their opponent. Trump was too busy punching down that he forgot to square up and throw a serious punch.
What will determine the result of this long anticipated fight will be more than a cheap sucker punch. Expect body shot after body shot. Strikes and counter-strikes. The ceasefires are being used to shift momentum and direct the flow of the fight. Take no stock in them.
Every war has its own pace and rhythm.
Two hundred years ago armies met on a field or a hill and fought it out in an afternoon. It was clean, short, and brutal. Kings agreed beforehand to sacrifice their excess peasants. War was a game. Even a hundred years ago that was the case. And when kings led men followed.
But with the development of total war, where entire economies, nations, and societies are put on a war footing, that romantic nature of war gave way to a type of war that cannot be contained on a field of battle. The arena of war shifted from the open field and the strategic hill to the public mind and collective society as a whole.
War lost all its glamour in the age of the machine gun, land mine, and helicopter. And now with drones and A.I., there's even less meaning to fighting.
What's a professional warrior today? A paid slave. They sacrifice and kill but they don't get the war booty. They get a badge and a pension if they're lucky. And that's true for all national armies.
The smart ones become mercenaries because ultimately fighting is a trade like anything else. In ancient times their hazardous pay was instant, not a small pension at the end of life.
Successful rulers and kings kept their elite warriors happy because they knew they could decide to put their swords down on any given day and go fight for another lord or king across town. A warrior's life was short but rewarding.
What we are witnessing in the Middle East is not a war in the traditional sense, with warriors dictating the outcome of a given battle, but a global mass extermination project in slow motion led by suicide cults.
Washington, Tel Aviv, and Tehran are not run by rational rulers who have the best interests of their nations in mind, but occultist killers. Their elected bodies have no say. The Congress is full of castrated men. They lack the balls and the brains to be of any consequence, and should they decide to grow a spine out of the blue they'll get removed.
That has been true since 1963, when America ceased to be America.
After the latest reports that the armies of Washington and Tel Aviv will officially be joined at the hip America should henceforth be called North Israel, and Israel renamed to South Israel.
Israel is at war with the world because its religion dictates it has to be. But, rationally and strategically, America and Iran should not be at war. They have way more to lose than win.
Currently they're both guided by madness. When cults, religions, and priests are calling the shots, reason goes out the window.
What must be remembered and always kept in mind when analyzing this war is that the aim is not victory, a piece of land in the Levant, or an island in the Mediterranean, but global depopulation, and the transformation of the world.
Other than disease and war, the best way to kill off unwanted people in a short span of time is with famine. The British ruling class understood this better than anyone else. When they couldn't kill their enemy with the sword they turned to famine. They perfected this tactic in Ireland. And all our modern ruling classes learned the tricks of the trade from them. They all went to the masonic school of London.
They know you can't have famine without war. War and famine go together like nothing else.
That's also the reality with this war, except this time the famine will be global in nature.
If fuel supplies out of the Middle East continue to be restricted then we should expect food scarcity on a global scale, anti-government riots, mass refugees, and societal disruption similar if not worse than what the Covid psychodrama caused.
The city states, nations, and individuals that have prepared themselves accordingly will have a greater chance to survive. The ones who put their heads in the sand will suffer.
