When Cowards Go To War: The America, Iran, And Israel Story

The tit-for-tat warfare that Israel and Iran look to be engaged in, at least for now, has an unpredictable dynamic. Both theological regimes are fundamentally irrational and at odds with history. 

War is their lifeline. Prophecy is their state ideology. Victimhood is their national psychology. That’s a dangerous and combustible cocktail.

Regimes that believe they are victims of history and international conspiracy, like Nazi Germany, are more willing to initiate violence than a confident superpower like modern day China.

It must be remembered that the 1979 regime change in Iran was not a popular and smooth transition. Popular anti-government protests were hijacked by a power hungry clique. It was a revolution in name only. The Islamic Republic has ruled its captured populace via state terrorism ever since.

Likewise with Israel. It is not the only “democracy in the Middle East.” Far from it. It hasn’t known a moment of peace because it chose the path of war against its Arab neighbours from even before its official founding. 

It mastered the dark arts of international terrorism and emotional blackmail to gain legal cover for its constant belligerence. America joined in on its decades-long hysterical act on 9/11 when it too pleaded to be the “victim” of terror. 

This shared, collective trauma allowed the sick leaders of both countries, along with their lame lackeys across the West, to basically lay waste to international laws and dissolve all moral boundaries in their unprovoked attacks on Muslim countries. They weaponized national grief and utilized the natural urge for revenge to achieve their long-planned political and military objectives.

All that could be understood rationally and logically. The conquest of territory, the hunger for world domination and power, the greed of weapons contractors, the vanity of political leaders. But what’s harder to grasp is the religious element that clearly motivates the esoterically inclined leaderships of Israel, the U.S., U.K., Iran, and the global Western political elite. 

Netanyahu’s messianic allies have no regard for the safety and long-term security of the Israeli people. And ditto for their Muslim counterparts who believe in their own version of messianism.

These rulers really are batshit crazy. The Covid hysteria proved it, during which Israel was at the forefront of the global collective madness. They all showed themselves to be wolves leading the sheep during that engineered hysteria. 

Not one political leader, not a Muslim, a Jew, a Christian, an Atheist, a Buddhist, stood up to denounce the Covid lies. On that front the leaders in Israel, the West, Russia, China, and Iran were all on the same side. So why believe them regarding anything else? Why listen to known liars?
