Editor’s Note: Below is Igor Strelkov’s latest text. I share his assessment – with one big caveat. That is, that his idea that the compromise of an “axis of resistance” is a one-sided action. What I see is a two-sided action. Not only are Syria, Lebanon, and Iran imploding in a rather mysterious way, but this also applies to Israel. One can see the war in Ukraine is also fake in many ways (see my post The Fake War), and there is an atmosphere of unreality surrounding all the events going back to the dismantling of the USSR.

It is quite conceivable that a global dismantling of national armies and nation-based interest is being pursued on a long-term basis. And this notion of creating a multipolar world is indeed the agenda of the Masters of the Universe, but with a twist. The new multipolarity is not based on national boundaries and national sovereignty but on the model of multinational corporations. That is, entities that cut across multiple nations, a melting pot of sorts, around the world. That means that the warrior class is being eliminated not only from the “axis” but from Israel, too, which has been profoundly damaged since the war with Hamas. We are witnessing the erosion of one party, then a reversal – the erosion of the other party – so that no side can claim victory, only embarrassment after embarrassment.

If this model of development is correct, then we will witness the dismantling of Russia as well, as a multinational empire, among other things. The US is already a multiracial territory and so is Europe. China is still resilient but for how long?

In the very end, some decades from now, a multiracial elite of the world will be formed against a multiracial class of the hoi polloi.

IGOR STRELKOV: MOSCOW’S POSITIONS WILL BE VERY VULNERABLE IN FRONT OF THE USA AND THE EU

[…]

By the way, you are absolutely “on point” suggested that “the situation could change radically over the weekend” (in the area of the “Middle East” (now – “12-day”) war). – I am even somewhat “shocked” by the (even “intermediate”) result with which all this disgrace ended. I have strong suspicions that a state coup in Iran – “for the sake of the war” the leadership of the IRGC and the “allied” military-political structures associated with it were eliminated/destroyed, after which (since this coup was agreed upon in advance with the USA and Israel) the war was stopped, as having achieved all its goals. A fairly logical chain is being built: the “sudden accidental death” of the Iranian president – the subsequent withdrawal of Iranian forces from Syria – the defeat of Hezbollah by Israel (with a “very restrained reaction from Iran”) – the defeat of the Houthi military structure in Yemen (with a very restrained reaction from Iran) – the rapid fall of the Assad regime, which has lost external support – and, finally, a massive strike by the Israeli Air Force, supported from within by a large-scale sabotage campaign that disabled the Iranian air defense forces (which was completely “blown away” by Iranian counterintelligence and security services), – the destruction of the leadership of the IRGC and the Air Force, the General Staff, with complete disregard for the “spiritual leaders” (at the same time – as Lev Vershinin noted – there was a wave of murders of people associated with the IRGC in the state apparatus, etc.). – Then a powerful strike by the United States only on nuclear facilities and … and that’s it. “The war is over – everyone won!” (Israel, and Iran, and the USA). – “Thank you all, everyone is free!” To this we can add the inexplicably passive reaction of China (as if the Chinese were warned in advance about the short-term nature of this “farce”). If this hypothesis is true, then very soon Iran will “warm up” greatly to the USA and Israel (if not in words, then in deeds) and the USA will also “suddenly” begin to gradually lift sanctions from “obedient Tehran”. Let’s see… This process is not simple and can be disrupted at any moment by any of the parties (for example, in Iran for domestic political reasons, where they will now “divide the legacy of the IRGC”).

For Russia, in any case, the situation has only worsened: firstly, we were rather rudely “shown our place in the gallery” in response to our offer to “mediate”; secondly, if Iran is “brought to heel” (i.e., the US and Co. begin to regain control over this country) – we can’t expect anything good from this; and thirdly: having won in Iran, Trump will return “to the field of Ukrainian settlement” as a “triumphant” (with the slogan “peace through strength”) – and will return with an order of magnitude tougher (in relation to Russia) position. His impudence (backed up by the rapid success he has just achieved) will increase many times over, and Moscow’s position (which will suddenly find itself again facing the “united front” of the US and the EU) will be very vulnerable. And won’t it turn out that the recent “bravura-victorious” statements at the SPIEF (not backed up by anything – no real military successes) will possibly be replaced by completely different ones? – Also “we’ll see”. As for our own war (i.e., the SVO), the June successes are not particularly impressive: the enemy front is still not broken through and is very, very slowly “crawling away” to distances that in military science cannot even claim to be called “operational success”. And this is very sad.

With respect, I.V. Girkin

/ excerpt from a letter to comrade Frol Vladimirov/

By now it is obvious that Trump is losing it, refuses to accept reality, which is the defeat of Israel, and joins the madness fueled by Netanyahu.

He is losing the support of his closest fanboys. Elon Musk was the first to go public declaring Trump a public danger. Now Tucker Carlson declares that if Trump escalated the war against Iran, that’s the end of his presidency. Bannon, the man behind Trump’s first election as president, joined Tucker Carlson.

Tulsi Gabbard, as the supreme intelligence chief, declared at the congressional hearings that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, only to be dismissed by Trump as some nonsense.

There are more voices in the Congress to request a constitutional mandate for any war action by the US against Iran.

Trump might ignore all of the clear opposition from within his closest constituency, proving that his election as the president was from the very start not about making America Great Again, but about Making the Greater Israel.

Too bad, a charlatan he was and a charlatan he remains.

I think that the best course of action for Iran at this point is NOT to escalate against Israel but to use the diplomatic option. The whole world is stunned by this unprovoked criminal attack by Israel. The Netanyahu government, by continuing to present the world with its moral turpitude, demonstrates that it is Israel that is the outlaw and the threat to peace. Using deception, obviously feigning to negotiate through its vassal American president, the Zionist regime has lost any moral high ground and the claim to perpetual victimhood.

Iran should swallow its pride, lick its wounds and recognize that even though it extracted a trove of military secrets from the Israelis, it still was unable to see the massive covert operation taking place in their own front yard under the eyes of the security forces. That should be the #1 lesson. And #2 lesson should be that Iran needs to think outside of the box and be prepared for a second and maybe third level of subversive action within Iran.

What the world has learned in the last 30-40 years is that the West works according to the school of military deception. Government after government have been brought down through so-called “color” revolutions, well prepared by a disloyal fifth column within each country’s own ranks. The old defense doctrine of building up a strong military has been blown up by insiders planted decades prior to being “activated” by Western proxies.

And that applies not only to Iran but also to Russia. In this sense, Russia is especially vulnerable due to its own hubris, just like Iran. Instead of pursuing a policy of carrots, and making itself attractive to its neighbors by supporting their thirst for independence, Russia condemns Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine for not being sufficiently pro-Russia. But why would anybody be pro-Russia? They’ve been given no reason at all to see Russia as a valuable friend, ally and business partner. Instead, each country desires to be pro itself, and no amount of fake talk about “independence” from the West can hide the imperial ambitions of the East.

Obviously what happened in Iran is a case study in deceptive attack against a defensive nation, but it also illustrates the grand strategy that is at work against Russia, at this point the West’s main target. Russia is already practically encircled by the West. Now, if Iran falls, it will be blocked from the south as well. And once Greenland is militarized, it will be blocked from the north. What does Russia think that will happen next? A peaceful resolution with the West?! No way. – Rather, the real war will start.

So, we are looking here at more than a few years of war. And the only strategy that I can see for the target countries is less hubris and more calls for all-out defense. More like the North Korean model. For years to come.
