Long live the Resistance!

I hope you are right because Hezbollah are also protecting the Maronite Catholic and Christian communities in Lebanon which are being heavily targeted by the Zionists. Unfortunately, key figures within the Lebanese government installed by the ZioWest are also coming out in opposition to Hezbollah as we’ve seen over the last few days much to the dismay of the population they claim to serve. It’s a David v Goliath scenario.

Inshallah! Hope the Resistance finishes the job before the Lebanese Authority commits more treasons.

Thanks for your diligence, Kit

…for now. Unfortuntely it will not last, the ZioDems are coming back and the polite genocide will take over from the ZioRepublican in-your-face genocide

"more war fewer votes", a political slogan that should be taken seriously going into the election cycle shortly.

I admit I don’t get it. As far as I see it the votes (or their number) have zero connection to the wars – no matter how hard you vote, there’s this magic happening and you always get a warmonger zionist in the end..

It’s not magic, it’s how every Congress person ends up a multi-millionaire- extortion, kickbacks, ponzi schemes, “campaign funding” (aka bribes), insider trading - all related to the death merchants, bankers, and Big Tech.

Princeton U did a study (2017?) and found Congress only responds to the American people 14% of the time.

one could make the ballot invalid, thus denying one's vote from being allotted to a candidate. politicians' greatest fear is receiving too few votes and a meagre voters' turn-out. on the other hand, no matter who you vote for, the government always get in (ht Bonzo Dog Band) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi5a1xkMmuA&list=RDPi5a1xkMmuA&start_radio=1

I’m not even sure about the vote annulment thing. What is it to me if they cheat or not using my ballot? What difference does it make if one of the (pre-approved on Epstein island) assh_les gets to implement the same exact policy by rigging the rigged elections?

Really doesn't seem like the idf will be able to replenish itself meaningfully any time soon though, also pretty much politically impossible for them to back out of the war even if they wanted to

“Why risk getting snatched from the street and sent to fight Russians, expect an average survival rate of one week, I’m better off going to IDF to shoot unarmed women and children” – an abject number of Ukranians apparently

ZioDems will be as successfull as ZioGOPniks. Referencing Yogi Berra, it is hard to make predictions, especially about the future. . . but Israel has lost the faith of Americans, lost the trust. It may take years, and, sadly, oceans of blood---but the US will, in the end, do as it always does, and walk away from Israel.

Israhell. The cancer of the world.

I'm just reading Arendt's essay 'On Lying in Politics' and this detail, from the Pentagon Papers on failures in Vietnam, seems apposite: "What the Pentagon papers report is the haunting fear of the impact of defeat, not on the welfare of the nation, but "on the reputation of the United States and its President." Thus, during the many debates about the advisability of using ground troops, the dominant argument was not fear of defeat itself and concern with the welfare of US troops in the case of withdrawal, but "Once U.S. troops are in, it will be difficult to withdraw them...without admitting defeat."

Kit Klarenberg's avatar

Apposite indeed.

Ed McKeon's avatar

Given Israeli weakness, I'm wondering if the US troop deployment to West Asia might be destined for Lebanon rather than Iran, whilst also trying to shore up the Gulf Monarchies.

I am sincerely grateful to you for writing this highly informative analysis of the historical, present and--fingers crossed--potential future of the Axis of Resistance. . . You made my day! Thank you Kit.

Long Live the Resistance against the Terrorist State of Israel.

Robert Hand's avatar

Thanks for shedding detailed light on the western-media-darkened material realities of West Asia re Syria and Lebanon vis a vis the Zionist entity and its ZOF aggressions. Do you agree with Laith Marouf that the liberation of Palestine will likely lead not to a Palestinian state per se but to the liquidation of the fraudulent, colonial Sykes-Picot borders and states in a long overdue pan-Arabist reformulation?

Kit Klarenberg's avatar

Thank you! And yes. I have made more or less the same point over and again since the war on Iran started - the fake states of the Gulf are on life support and they will never recover from this. Their leaders cannot reject US occupation without the illegitimate tyrannical regimes they represent collapsing instantly so currently Iranian hegemony is taking its time. But the end result of the conflict is a much-diminished Empire in West Asia, which could collapse the whole deck of cards in short order.

What was Einstein's definition of insanity? Repeating endlessly a failed strategy in hopes of achieving a different result. This is the current mental condition of Trumpnyahu and their "doting acolytes in denial". Let's make a tally of the failures...Korea, Vietnam, Iwreck, Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela, Central America, Ukraine, Russia, China, Iran. Trumpnyahu are running out of ammo, because their only weapons are machines made by men & women, utilized by men & women. Their targets have a much more powerful weapon, an unquenchable belief and faith in their right to be free to live, govern, exist in the life THEY choose and not a parasitic enslavement that the High and Mighty White Western monoliths have decided for them. An idea can/will not be extinguished by any military means, it never has been and never will be. Trumpnyahu have been exposed as members of a moribund ideology that is going to the extreme to maintain an illusion...WE are Number One or...there IS a Number One. There ISN'T. All empires die from their own weight of being an Empire, eventually the seams of their intrinsic megalomania begin to reveal a litany of chronological failures that cannot stop the tidal wave of self-destruction. Of course a healthy dose of war-mongering prop-aganda and religious fervor can keep you from drowning for only a brief instant...contrary to popular belief, they don't walk on water.

Israel itself is just an extension of the Anglo-American empire

Brian slightly misses the point. The same Empire controls both the US and Israhell. The Empire intends to use Israhell as the ultimate tax-haven, which is why all the Western mega-billionaires are on board.

The 'national' entities are subordinates, 5 Eyes and to a lesser extent EU, SK & Japan.

It is the "head of the octopus" that needs scrutiny, not never-ending arguments about which arm is in control.

ChatterX's avatar

Ppl argue whether Israel owns the U.S. or vice versa only because they don't (want to) realize that they're basically ONE and the SAME

Tuan O's avatar

It doesn't really matter if there's a formal leadership, it's converging networks of elite interest groups who are able to operate across national lines, it's like a transnational financial oligarchy. It's basically the nature of the system, finance and commodities and global supply chains all operate outside the confines of the architecture of national states so these kinds of networks follow their own logic and follow their own interests at national states and populations expense

Gnuneo's avatar

Precisely, 100%.

Jolani’s hired thugs are no match for Hizbollah. Also Hizbollah’s allies in Iraq, the Hashd Al Shabi in Iraq has warned him not to attack Hizbollah. 250,000 battle tested veterans from the war against ISIS.

I suspect that the US/Israeli axis wants to provoke civil war in Lebanon by using the puppet government in Beirut to disarm Hezbollah. This is obviously very fanciful but considering the abject capitulation of the Lebanese government to US/Israeli interests time and again then you cannot rule out some attempt at trying to undermine Hezbollah.

I wonder how Hezbollah will react to the inevitable Israeli infringements of the 10 day ceasefire? I hope it does not make the mistake of remaining silent when Israel bombs Lebanese villages/towns. It will merely encourage Israeli violence.

The US/Israeli axis uses ceasefires time and again to try and continue the conflict via other means and make up for what they have failed to achieve on the battlefield.

Amidst all this 'diplomacy' and so called 'ceasefires' the so called allies of Iran remain very muted. China and Russia have let the US empire dictate the pace of events since the war began. Their calls for international law to be respected are rather pathetic and have no impact on the Trump regime.

The US naval blockade of Iranian ports is as aimed as much at China as it is at Iran. The US is attempting to cut off another cheap energy supply for China as it successfully did when it effectively took over Venezuelan oil. Scott Besant, the super aggressive US treasury secretary, has recently been threatening and lambasting China over a host of issues and Beijing has been rather muted in response. The Xi regime just like the Putin regime, represents the interests of the billionaire oligarchy. In China it also represents the CPC nomenklatura and is currently servile when its core economic and strategic interests are under threat by the US declining US empire. China has the largest navy in the world yet it is not mobilised to escort its shipping going to and from Iranian ports.

Both regimes appear to have learned nothing from the Cold War 1.0. Only by standing up to US violence as Maoist China and the USSR did in the Korean and Vietnamese wars did US imperialism suffer defeat and losses in the ex colonial world. For over a decade following its humiliating defeat in Vietnam the US empire had a period of consolidation when it lacked the strength to invade any other nations.

Contrast how the USSR and Maoist China stood up very forcefully to US imperialism in Korea, where their troops fought openly against US forces, and in Vietnam where they supplied huge amounts of military and economic aid along with thousands of 'military advisors' to the lamentable stance both Moscow and Beijing currently have which only encourages further US violence.

By not taking a firm open stance against the ultra violence of the US/Israeli axis both Moscow and Beijing are undermining themselves over the medium-longer term. It is clear that the Trump regime wants to destroy BRICS which would be massive economic and geo-political blow to both Russia and China.

No matter how many deals Netenyahu does across thar region, it is doomed to fail. It is only a matter of time before Syria falls. Iraq is on the rise, and even the gulf countries realise that Israel is not an honest broker. We never quite know who is on the menu next, but Netenyahu hasnt realised quite yet that he is going to be the dessert. The sooner the better.
