Alex's analysis always goes deeper, while zooming out to see the bigger picture. While everyone thinks this is a step toward WW III, he sees it as a step back. Inshallah, indeed.

Alas, the true issue is the rotten-to-the-core, borderline insane, and utterly incompetent crop of idiot "leaders" in the West, under the ruthless boot of the U.S. military-industrial complex—a hydra that can't live without war. Another reason to despair: WW III would end us all, but these "small wars" will continue inflicting pain, death, and destruction for decades to come.

The collective moral and spiritual decline of our part of civilization is the underlying horror that powers all of this, WW III or no WW III.

I think the superpowers of Russia, China, USA, and Iran could settle this with an agreement: Nuke Israel First in the event of any war.

Most of the population of Israel supports genocide and by all accounts is irredeemable. Only total defeat resulting in capitulation is a realistic option as the forces behind this will use any break to resupply and gather strength for the next round. See the similarities with what's transpired in Ukraine?

I think that a major population shift of Israeli citizens (10-30% chance) (perhaps 500,000 to 1 million?) into the USA is at least a possibility, and could change the political balance in both Israel and a few U.S. states (NY, Florida, CA?) But regardless, Israel will survive, and remain strong and militarized for many years to come.

Well, I think you are being generous here, Alex. The only people who can reign this in, IMO, are the Pentagon. They are the only ones who knows how dangerous this. Israel will escalate, no doubt about that. They would gladly sacrifice whatever it takes to start a US / Iran war. They simply do not care as they are absolutely fanatical psychopaths. The Western politicians will go all in, safe in their bunkers.

But the Pentagon....yeah they know the deal. They know the deal with Russia, they know the deal with China, and they know the deal with Iran. The US Navy ran away from the Houthis remember!

I have no idea what is about to happen. It really could go either way. But, that said I agree that Iran has made a statement: We can level your entire country and there is nothing you can do about it.

My biggest worry, actually, is that Israel gets so crazed that they get the nukes out. They will have no other choice IMO

Same worry here. They are as likely, if not more, to fire up the nukes as back slowly away.

Expand full comment

It's the same with the US. They will escalate to nuclear quickly in a real war as that would be the only option.

I mean, what else are nuclear weapons for?

Expand full comment

One other thing Nuclear weapons do. They can hide a multitude of sins. They introduce Earth to a long winter it may have never known

Yes, the “nukes.” I guess the point of war is eventually everyone has to stop bluffing and show their hand.

Expand full comment

They don't have the codes for the nukes. Pentagon aren't that crazy.

Expand full comment

Of course, but if there was a hot war, the US would start to lose assets very quickly, and I believe they would have no other choice but to go nuclear.

As Marie Antoinette did not historically say - "Let them eat missiles!".

What happened to her?

The French peasants - Public - sacrificed at least 50,000 of their number (Low estimate) to remove their insane ruling classes and heads. And the Froggie Aristos back then were not backed by a genocidal and lunatic hyperpower quite willing to use WMDs to maintain their global hegemony.

As we have all seen, Orwell's time with the British Empire's ruling classes gave him a clear view of where that insanity would lead, and we are ALMOST in that World - with the notable exception that Russia and China now want a peaceful, shared Eurasia.

Western "leaders" are desperate to create 1984. Lots of us will simply have to die to prevent that.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad, sometimes given in Latin as Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat (literally: Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason) or Quem Iuppiter vult perdere, dementat prius (literally: Those whom Jupiter wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason)..."

"..An early version of the phrase Whom the gods would destroy... appears in verses 620–623 of Sophocles' play Antigone: τὸ κακὸν δοκεῖν ποτ᾽ ἐσθλὸν τῷδ᾽ ἔμμεν' ὅτῳ φρένας θεὸς ἄγει πρὸς ἄταν; translated "Evil appears as good in the minds of those whom god leads to destruction."

Plato's Republic (380a) quotes a fragment attributed to Aeschylus (but otherwise unattested): θεὸς μὲν αἰτίαν φύει βροτοῖς, / ὅταν κακῶσαι δῶμα παμπήδην θέλῃ; translated "A god implants the guilty cause in men / When he would utterly destroy a house."

Yes. History repeats itself. And, it rhymmes alot too i.e. nut-and-yahoo ;)

The brain fog is strong in the West, just today there was more "China, China is our enemy". I hope you are right Alex, but the masters have created a hive mind of morons so massive that it has an inertia that they can't easily redirect, as they intended but now find trapped by.

CHINA, BRICS AGAINST THE SATANIC WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM 2000 TRILLION DOLLAR MEGA TRILLIONAIRE BLACK NOBILITY

Under the post-industrial logic of the Trilateral Commission agents that took over the reigns of government in the 1970s, a full spectrum program was unleashed that shattered the spirit of progress that once animated a vibrant western culture. The creative momentum towards new breakthroughs in nuclear fission and fusion power, space tech and assisting former colonial people in their aspirations for industrial progress was systematically sabotaged as a new logic of scarcity management, population reduction and global governance was made the top priority for all US foreign and domestic policy.

What about the risks that Israel uses Nuclear Weapons?

Yes, that's a risk. However, I don't think it would be a winning move for them. Only new Hiroshimas on the way to perdition. Iran, Syria, Lebanon will stay where they are.

I'm 100%-convinced that Russia is tracking the 6-izzreali *Dolphin Submarines(German-made super-silent)* with a-bomb tipped warheads. Remember Alex I pointed out that 'modern a-bombs', especially H-Bombs(hydrogen bombs) are 99.9%-radiation free. The tech has been 'officially acknowledged since the 1970's. Most people think of the *Neutron Bomb*. Same thing. My only Question is, what tech is now available 2024? ADDENDUM: they are *cruise missles* meaning can achieve extremely low-altitudes, flying literally a few meters above the surface.

Where is the evidence that the Israeli-bought politicians in America and Britain realize that there is need to stop the genocidal, terroristic actions of the Israeli regime as this poses great danger to their own country?

As Globalists, they have no "their own" country. Only "interests."

All dwelling places are temporary, for their convenience. You could say their home is their plane & their people are their staff.

If it IS somewhere, I have not found it. It seems to me that the fundamentalist extremist set may have the attitude that if they don’t get their way then they are just going to throw all the toys out of the pram. Unfortunately that means the Sampson Option and the possibility of a worldwide crash which very few will be immune to.

I too doubt that total collapse is on the cards, it is too hard to control. However I do believe that the THREAT of total collapse is used to drive preppers and nervous people to waste their time in pointless stuff. It also works to increase the stress level in other people who have no opportunity to do any prepping, mortgages or rent are a vary effective slave yoke in the modern world, by design it seems.

Alex, I love your commentary. Unfortunately, there is no good news forthcoming. The West is run by a Hegemonic Death Cult that relies exclusively on terrorism, assignation and genocide to restore and spread its world domination. There are no saner heads to prevail. They will be neutralized if they try.

I can’t empathize enough how dangerous this moment is and this is just the beginning.

The only winning play is to pogrom the Jews. There is a reason we have a word in Western Civilization for taking our country back from Jews. It is an old word and your ancestors are heroes for punishing the Jews and fighting off their debt slavery. Pogromming Jews is as natural as warfare.

Daniel 8:25

“And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; BUT HE SHALL BE BROKEN WITHOUT HAND.”

We humans (almost all of us) are very near sighted and myopic. While we may not, the Earth will abide. There are many prophesies from around the world that point to an end time. To me they are all rails on a rail road to hell. These in various forms guide collective humanity.

We don't have to get locked up in this madness. The simple people of the Earth that care for the Earth show the way. They are very few now. But never to late to care for the Earth. Start in you neighborhood, in you back yard. Peace of mind and heart comes from caring for the Earth and each other.

"If the Israelis bombed the Vatican tomorrow and killed the pope, that wouldn't be the end of Catholic Church."

I'd guess that a lot of Catholics wouldn't even care if the Vatican was bombed and Pope Francis killed. Some might even celebrate it.

Have we reached peak follow the leader?

Expand full comment

Nice parting catch phrase! I think you are right. Historically the Catholic church has suffered under many really bad Popes, but for the modern world Francis is the absolute worst. He is not leading his flock, he is following orders, not from God, but rather from those who see themselves as gods, the masters of globalism. Like the West in general confusion abounds in the "Church" and that is attributable to Francis and his band of Jesuit nut cases.

I appreciate your optimism. Hope you are right. Lots of claims by Israel which sometimes are true, sometimes not true. Anything that comes out of Israel is sort of tentative until independently verified. My opinion.

I kind of expect that anything official coming out of Israel is not credible. Their media are better than in USA/UK/EU (you're more likely to discern a more truthful version of events).

It seems to me that people are choosing to believe what they prefer; of course they must know CNN isn't credible but they probably just prefer that version of truth over others.
