Iran ►WAR, Crystal Clear!
“I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.” – Alexander the Great
No lions here. The People of the U.S. failed to choose well who leads its armies.
Where in God’s name are the LIONS!: General “Mad Dog” JAMES MATTIS, Admiral William H. MCRAVEN and Captain DAN PEDERSEN, “Godfather of TOPGUN’
Shock and Awe distractions render War ‘Ripe for Execution’: DOGE-DEPORTATIONS –TARIFFS.
Tyrannical threats instill powerlessness, fear and uncertainty.
U.S. President has been in office less than 100 days. But don’t be fooled by the illusion of time. In the “blink of an eye,” he will…
Pentagon announcement on March 17th noted first point, ‘protect U.S.’ Still, did not ‘destroy command and control’ of Houthis.
Appears you FAILED in your third and fourth points: ‘Maintain ability to strike [THE TARGET] and ‘Allies to do more.’ But for Iran, ‘All options are on the table’? What options?
Resilience and perseverance of Houthis makes a POINT: You fabricated or exaggerated their decimation. At a cost of $1 Billion, your reported equipment is not looking ‘cool and sexy.’
Pete Hegseth, you and your Chief have failed. But more importantly failed VETERANS.
Forgotten heroes deemed collateral damage of past unjust wars. And to add ‘insult to injury’ in their own country: The ‘classified’ Area 51; one million Marines and their families at Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; Hawaii Military base for over 7,500 service members and families…
WARRIORS are entitled to and deserve respect and superior treatment. Yet, Defense and Hegseth, promote spending billions overseas on what Sean Parnell calls ‘cool and sexy equipment’, even if it does NOT attain objective?
WAR Blueprint: Military Base Repositioning
‘When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.’ – Plato
Element of Surprise wears many masks and makes many deadly moves.
U.S., in withdrawing from the JCPOA, imposing Iranian sanctions, and ordering air missile strike targeting Major General Qassem Soleimani, you made the first move. Next?
Israel’s IDF and Mossad’s visits to selected Middle East countries seem focused on ground forces and plans to strategically situate their air crafts and arsenal in close proximity to Iran
Dealmakers and businessmen observe the window of opportunity is swiftly closing if the goal is to launch war. Defense and Aerospace large manufacturers and their contractors appear to have stood ready since early 2016.
Israel-U.S. partnership, RAFAEL and Kratos, for a ‘plant project’ headquartered near a US Navy and Army facility in Crane, Indiana is but one. SRMs and ‘other energetics’?
RAFAEL how about Rockets, as those launchers? Israeli Scientist Ari Sacher appears enthusiastic to speak of them on March 3, 2025. Yet, his concern of ‘relocating everything here is a must’ seems to have been dismissed on your part since your deal with the Americans was announced the day after his statement. But it sure gives Kratos a head start on those tariffs 🙂
Yet, Sacher does make a point about the future of ‘suicide drones.’ Problem he says is ‘detect on radar.’ Right something about them being ‘low to the ground… looking for threats within.’ Yet, ‘killer drones’ aren’t rocket science. Just ask Elon.
Kratos, you may think yourself a ‘God of War.’ But I remind you the punishment to Prometheus for stealing fire was long lasting. Unlike your ‘Mach TB’ the engineering of my aircraft with a Mach band would make Ernst weep with pride.
Israel Offense Force (IOF), what of your ‘super computer’? If I have command of the “Leviathan Power of Satellite Laser and Particle Beam” imagine what I could do with a QUANTUM system? And unlike your ‘Iron beam’ mine is operational now.
Pentagon, you’ve finally conceded that the F-35 can be penetrated and shut down. Unveiling of a rudimentary new F-47 prototype simply masks an old arsenal.
New ‘state of the art’ defense systems? Visits to Israel may have included engaging with Isaac Ben Israel, retired IDF Major General. The General understands ground attack and flexibility, “When people are shooting at you, it changes you for life. You learn that you don’t stick strictly to what you were told to do.”
Isaac Ben Israel, referred to as “the father of Israel’s cybersecurity business,” literally wrote the book, “Cybersecurity in Israel.” The General not only has a command of physical space but cyberspace.
Persian Empire, Ready to Strike Back?
Persian Gulf and now Red Sea are the central focus. Iran, do you too see the irony and perhaps an opportunity?
As I noted in my 2016 paper, “Islamic Republic of Iran Power and Strategy: Maneuvering Global Geopolitics and Capitalizing on Scientific Opportunities In Peacetime,” the field of science is broad.
If attacked, Iran would be in close proximity and be surrounded by U.S. ground soldiers in Pakistan, Afghanistan Turkmenistan, and Iraq. Bahrain, South of Iraq and North of UAE, and alongside Saudi Arabia can facilitate “overfly rights.” But will UAE and Bahrain soldiers be successful?
Near the UAE sit the long disputed Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunbs in the Persian Gulf. Iran and the Emirate of Ras al-Khaimah each hold claim to their right of ownership. Who will take possession, how and when?
Iranian sanctions, military strikes and war alliances are unsustainable and disastrous to economies if the goal is war, but profitable for the business of war.
Nations’ economic and current state of affairs is likely to advance in the wrong direction leaving civilians and dead soldiers in its path. And during this advancement, enemies patiently await.
Alleged “imminent threat” from Iran was not clear and present. U.S. claims of General Soleimani “actively” planning an attack on Americans are reminiscent of Saddam Hussein possessing WMDs.
Objective? Present unsubstantiated “intelligence” to Allies selling the idea of war.
Finally, the West’s actions are predictable. Arming old and new Eastern European allies with weaponry with ultimate goal of targeting Iran may backfire as past conflicts and wars have proven. Key is to be ready at the “changing of the guard.”
Israel Defending Itself by Itself?
“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” ― Marcus Aurelius
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett previously stated, “Israel will defend itself by itself.”
Sir, not according to Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State. At the Iranian American Jewish Federation (IAJF) held in New York on December 2, 2021, Pompeo stated “The day is coming. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will defend Israel.”
If the Kingdom is in fact the chosen one to defend Israel, will its compass be clear in the moonlight for as Bennett says, “Israel is a lighthouse in a storm.” But a storm of your own making.
Yet, the Iranians too have a saying, “When the storm comes, they bend; when the storm passes, they stand up again.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, when has Israel ‘defended itself by itself’?
IDF, your over-reliance on technology rendered your defense force impotent. Your subsequent actions dishonor the female field observers whose warnings of suspect activity leading to October 7th were ignored.
Netanyahu, I hear you’re going to make another trip to the White House. Need more defense funds or are things about to get very hot?
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies reported 15 aid workers killed and found buried in a ‘mass grave.’ Israel Offense Force (IOF), getting desperate or liking the taste of death?
Be reminded, with over 50,000 Men, Women and Children slaughtered in Gaza and the West Bank, their death toll has yet to surpass the millions of Jews slaughtered at the hands of Germany, Poland, Russia…
Right, we ‘never forget’ the horrendous Jewish mass graves hidden by the NAZIS. The Führer clearly had the last laugh.
In the last chapters of The House That Hitler Built, we find the Führer with a final choice: ‘either plunges Europe into war, or he loses his position in Germany.’
Netanyahu, you betray the fallen and offend the People of Israel. I have no pity for you.
“No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast.” – Shakespeare
Israel, ready to walk the war path U.S. paved?
Brutal Risks of Uncertainty
As a child I caught a glimpse of life’s uncertainties- brutality and mendacity of man. As an adult, I learned of governments and man and his “state of nature.” It is in my nature to intelligently deal with the instabilities of life. It is in my nature to bestow no mercy upon the beasts of past and present.
As one President draws red lines in the sands of Syria, another draws blood on the same sands referring to the enemy as a dog. But what does a President know of the “dogs of war?”
Nothing! Unless with sweat and tears he has crawled on bloody soil drenched from his fallen brothers in combat. U.S. having presence across the globe needs be reminded that it must “sleep in the same bed they made,” unstable and bloody.
British author Frederick Forsyth reminds us in “The Dogs of War”:
“The World as we know it goes into a kind of mad dissolve, and beyond it we see a chillingly ordered antiworld of conspiracy, greed, and ferocity. From first inkling to final (and shockingly surprising) climax, there is hot havoc indeed when these dogs of war are let slip.”
I agree, for “If one Prophet deceive another, what certainty is there of knowing the will of God, by other way than that of Reason?”
And no amount of intelligence will help you deal with the brutal risks of uncertainty. It’s in your nature.
“Strength and Honor”
Peace for the living is an elusive word. Yet, crystal clear for the dead as they “rest in peace.”
Reading Immanuel Kant’s “To Eternal Peace” I’ve deduced a few things:
Man clearly is in a conundrum. It is man’s own nature that is problematical when facing his own kind. As man ultimately aims for peace, he is at the same time using war as a strategy to get there – “War is Peace” and Peace is War.”
Netanyahu and Trump, if this idea of going to war with Iran is a façade, then END IT!
Bring the Hostages home and Hand Over the $TRILLIONS spent on ‘cool and sexy equipment’ back to the Americans living an uncertain economic ‘state of affairs.’
I remind you both: South Korea is not the only country whose leader can be removed.
Enough with illusions of peace!
The People need and want a Commander who can lead them. A Commander who understands the true meaning of “Strength and Honor.”
James N. Mattis, Commanding General, “During his more than four decades in uniform… commanded Marines at all levels…commanded U.S. Joint Forces, NATO’s Supreme Allied Command for Transformation, and U.S. Central Command…he directed military operations of more than 200,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen, Marines and allied forces across the Middle East.”
