The U.S.-Iran War Of Attrition – A Global Depression To Counter Total Destruction
The U.S. and Israel are aiming for the total destruction of the Islamic Republic. Iran is countering by globalizing the consequences of a war in its energy rich region. It calculates that the global economy will attrit sufficiently for the U.S. to change course before Iran’s internal cohesion breaks down.
When Trump announced his attack on Iran he named several seemingly random aims that the war was supposed to achieve. It turned out that none of them was achievable.
Trump and his mouthpieces seemed to assume that the war would be short. They had hoped for some kind of Venezuelan scenario where a U.S. friendly government would take over as soon as the Supreme Leader of Iran was killed. Such a view could only be held by people who were totally ignorant of the history and social structure of the society of Iran.
Ignorance is probably the most explanatory variable in the chaos we have seen. Neither the purpose, nor the length nor the consequences of the war had been gamed out.
The National Security Council, which has the task to plan out policies, had been cut down. The State Department was hardly involved in the planning. Warnings by the Pentagon have been ignored.
Trump went by his pants, got into a huge mess, and has yet to find a way to get out (archived):
When he came to office, Mr. Trump reduced the size of the N.S.C. staff by at least two thirds, casting out some of its members because of vague suspicions about their loyalty. Mr. Trump has made clear that his N.S.C. is not there to generate options, but to execute his decisions.
…
“Trump seems to think he doesn’t need options or contingency plans,” said Thomas Wright, a scholar at the Brookings Institution who worked on long-term strategic planning in the National Security Council during the Biden years. “He just wants a small team to execute his instincts. But when events go wrong, as they often do, a president without prepared choices will be gambling with a pair of twos.”
…
“Never has so much risk or such sweeping military action of so much consequence been undertaken with so little apparent planning or weighing of potential consequences, both intended and unintended,” [David Rothkopf] said.
It is the military, he notes, that develops operational plans, which are then vetted at the N.S.C. “That process has atrophied to virtually nothing in this administration and what planning there has been is often ignored by a president who trusts his own instincts more than any advisers. That may work with actions that are narrow in scope, but it does not when waging war against a large, consequential country like Iran.”
The Armchair Warrior notes that the Trump administration has already failed with three of its plans and is currently trying a fourth one:
– Plan A: Kill Khamenei, new leaders surrender
– Plan B: Kill Khamenei, mass civil unrest, regime change
– Plan C: Ethnic insurgents mobilize, ???, profit
– Plan D: Actually get air dominance and bomb indefinitely until they surrender
Israel meanwhile is perusing Plan Z: the total destruction (archived) of everything that defines modern Iran:
Israel’s endgame was the “total destruction of this regime, of the pillars of this regime, of everything that holds it together: the IRGC, the Basij [grassroots militia], its strategic capabilities”, said Danny Citrinowicz, an Iran expert and senior researcher at Tel Aviv’s Institute for National Security Studies.
Removing Iran’s ability to threaten Israel — primarily via missiles and a nascent nuclear programme — was the “obvious” endgame, but even more important to Israel’s government, Citrinowicz added, was “undermining this regime [so] it has to deal with internal problems”.
…
Summarising the Israeli government’s position, Citrinowicz said: “If we can have a coup, great. If we can have people on the streets, great. If we can have a civil war, great. Israel couldn’t care less about the future . . . [or] the stability of Iran.
…
If a new leadership just as hardline rose up from the ashes of this war, “they will be dealt with as well”, said the former senior Israeli official.
A person familiar with Israeli government thinking said: “Israel wants to destroy the Iranian regime’s capabilities to such an extent that it will not have to fight another round. They don’t want rounds two, three and four. They want to finish the job now.”
It seems that the Zionist plan is to do another “Gaza” on the nation of Iran. I probably would not mind to extend that plan to the whole Gulf region.
Parts of the Trump administration seem to endorse that plan:
[Sec. of Defense] Hegseth: Flying over their capital. Death and destruction from the sky all day long. We’re playing for keeps. Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by the president and yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it. This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.
The USraeli bombing campaign is hitting all over Iran:
Iran’s Emergency Medical Services Chief says that across 29 provinces and 172 cities targeted by US and Israeli strikes, …
The widespread attacks, which has hit at civilian targets like hospitals, schools, police stations just as much as at military targets, will have little effect on the will of Iranian people to fight back.
Iran is countering the U.S. campaign with its most dangerous weapon. Its geography allows it to hold all energy and transport in the Gulf region at risk.
This is causing many effects the Trump administration had not planned for. U.S. gas prices are rising:
President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is telling his advisers to bring ideas to the Oval Office to lower gasoline prices in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran, according to two energy industry executives familiar with the conversations.
…
The attack and Iran’s subsequent targeting of the Persian Gulf’s energy sector has sent crude oil up more than $10 a barrel, lifting gasoline prices to their highest levels since Trump took office last year.
Closing the Strait of Hormuz and rising the price of energy was one of the most obvious countermoves available to the Iranian side. But the Trump administration had not planned for it:
[Energy Secretary Chris] Wright […] has so far not publicly broached the subject of energy prices since the attack.
That’s on purpose, said a third energy industry executive who talked to White House officials right after the U.S. attack began Saturday. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other hawkish members of the administration were leading the administration’s planning, but other administration officials who would normally argue to keep oil prices low had initially been told to take a back seat while the fighting in Iran continues, this person said.
“The faction of the White House that would care about $80-90 oil [was] being silenced,” said this person, who was granted anonymity to discuss private conversations with the administration. ”There [were] louder voices winning at the moment.”
The concern for rising oil and natural gas prices brought by the war is a relatively new thing, said industry executives. The Trump administration did not start hitting the phones to discuss ways to calm oil and gas markets until several days after the attacks started and oil prices started rising.
Iran has announced that it would attack ships which were passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The insurance companies used this threat to up their prices. The high risk and lack of insurance has led ship owners to stop their vessels.
Some 20% of the world oil, gas and fertilizer has to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The closure of the Strait has many cascading global effects:
Oil and LNG fail as inputs into electricity, fertilizer, shipping, chemicals, mining, manufacturing, and state finance.
As an example, The global polyester chain begins in petrochemicals. A severe disruption to hydrocarbon and petrochemical feedstocks cascades into PTA, MEG, polyester resin, filament, and fabric production, causing acute shortages, price spikes, and factory stoppages across synthetic-heavy apparel segments. The industry does not vanish overnight, but the low-cost, high-volume apparel model starts to break down.
From this follows a chain whose logic is cumulative: fuel inflation becomes fertilizer inflation; fertilizer inflation becomes food inflation; food inflation becomes urban instability, sovereign subsidy exhaustion, and ultimately hunger. In this sequence, food shortages are not a secondary humanitarian issue. They are one of the central political outcomes of the crisis, because modern populations do not experience systemic breakdown first through grand strategy, but through unaffordable bread, intermittent power, empty pharmacies, and possibly the collapse of public order. A globalised Arab Spring.
In this framework, hyperinflation emerges as the social expression of real physical bottlenecks. When energy-importing states are forced to acquire dollarized fuel at any price, when currencies weaken, when fertilizer and transport costs reprice an entire harvest cycle, inflation ceases to be cyclical and becomes coercive.
It enters every household budget and every state ledger at once. The result is the destruction of planning itself: firms cannot quote, governments cannot subsidize, and populations can no longer calculate the future. Under such conditions, credit markets seize up, foreign-exchange reserves drain, sovereign spreads widen, and the boundary between economic crisis and political crisis disappears.
Yesterday stocks in South Korea, which to 97% depends on fossil energy imports, were down by 18%. Retail investors were panicking. Taiwan, which produces 80% of the high end chips in this world, has a gas reserve for only 11 days. Its electricity network, and the chip production depending on it, will soon be in trouble. It is planting season in many parts of the globe and the price for urea have gone up to unreasonable levels. The prices for bread will follow.
The short campaign the Trump administration had hoped for in Iran is turning into a long war of attrition. The U.S. and Israel will do their best to bomb Iran – all of it – to smithereens. Iran will to its best to enforce a near blockade on the Strait of Hormuz and the whole Gulf region.
U.S. allies in the Gulf will suffer. Global container carriers have stopped to accept traffic to Gulf port. Food security in the Gulf states is at risk.
The global economy will suffer an energy shock with all the financial and social consequences that entails.
The U.S. is to some extend autarkic and can sustain a sharp rise in energy prices. But many of its allies, who did not speak up when the U.S. attacked Iran, will soon be in very deep trouble.
Iran will suffer huge damage. But it is likely that the U.S. will be the first to blink.
An appeal to NATO countries: How can the enormous US debt be legally repaid without harming the social security of the American people and the national security of other countries?!
Dear NATO leaders, as you know, the US and Israel are currently waging war against Iran, in violation of the UN Charter. In other words, one of the most powerful countries in the world, the US, and its Talmudic mentor, Israel, are waging war against an ordinary country whose whose economy has been exploded for decades due to some subjective sanctions imposed by liberals. At the same time, the concept of democracy implies freedom of popular choice, and this choice does not necessarily have to be liberal or nationalist. If the US, Israel, and NATO prefer liberalism and nationalism, that is their right and their internal affair, but they do not have the right to impose this way of life on other peoples or other countries. They can preserve their own way of life in their own countries, but they do not have the right to forcibly change the way of life of other peoples in other countries. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte recently stated that he doesn’t rule out the possibility of NATO countries becoming involved in a war with Iran at some point, which would be shameful for all NATO countries and could potentially trigger a full-scale world war. Why would this be shameful for them? Because:1). One of the most powerful countries in the world, the United States, and its spiritual leader, Talmudic Israel, were the first to commit military aggression against the peaceful country of Iran, which itself had never started a war with anyone in the 20th or 21st centuries. Therefore, if NATO provides military assistance to the United States and Israel in this war, it will mean that the United States is not the most powerful country, and its authority will be forever diminished.2). The United States and Israel launched an unjust war against Iran because prohibiting Iran from using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is a criminal and fascist offense. Not to mention that these countries are trying to illegally change the Iranian people’s way of life, imposing immorality, lawlessness, depravity, and criminality on them. They are fighting against Iran’s legitimate elections because they want to install the power obscurantist dictator, the Shah, as Iran’s leader by military means.3). Iran is waging a defensive war, so it is striking the military bases of aggressor countries. Therefore, even if these bases are located on NATO territory, a defensive strike against them does not constitute an attack by Iran on a NATO country. Therefore, Article 5 of the Collective Self-Defense Act cannot be invoked, since the NATO member, the United States, has committed an aggressive military attack on Iran, not the other way around. If the United States ends the war with Iran, withdraws its troops, and then someone attacks it, only then can it be considered an attack.4). If NATO engages in an unjust war with Iran, a major world war cannot be ruled out, as China, Korea, and India, which need Iranian oil, are unlikely to want to become dependent on the United States if NATO countries achieve a collective victory over Iran. The situation with Russia is still unclear, but it is possible that at some point during the war it, too, will engage in a war against NATO for obvious reasons.Now let’s consider the question: how can the enormous US debt be legally repaid without harming the social security of the American people and the national security of other countries?Dear citizens of our planet, as we know, the US has over $30 trillion in national debt, which significantly hinders the development of this young and therefore somewhat foolish country. That’s why this country entrusted the presidency to a man recognized by law enforcement as a pathological liar, an immoral pervert, and a criminal, so that he could use his mafia-style methods to free the US from this debt. I personally know of only one similar case, when Georgia was officially led by the thief-in-law Jaba Ioseliani. However, we talk about the possibilities of covering this US debt, we must clearly understand that this debt did not arise from any objective needs of the American people. Rather, it arose deliberately and subjectively, authored by the Talmudic political caste of the US, including both the Republican and Democratic parties. What was their goal in doing so? Today, US scholars unanimously state that the US government system is neither constitutional nor democratic. The President does not report to Congress, he is not subordinate to law enforcement agencies, he disregards public opinion, and officially declares that no constitutional or international norms exist that would compel him to act within the law, consistent with reality, or human morality. How and why is this possible? How and why did the President of one of the most influential countries in the world come to be guided by a criminal worldview rather than by the Constitution or the morality of God’s Commandments, nominally set forth in the Bible, on which Donald Trump swears, but sure he won’t get to Heaven?! This is only possible because Donald Trump’s actions are guided by the Talmud, not the Constitution. The entire Talmudic political caste in the United States is also guided by the Talmud, which is why it has created a Talmudic system of governance that cannot keep the actions of Talmudists in the highest government positions within the bounds of constitutional law, since it aims to informally achieve its own Talmudic caste goals. This means enriching the Talmudists at the expense of Americans and other peoples of the world, since the Talmud, satanically and criminally, tells them that only they are human, and all other peoples must serve them like animals, and therefore everything the animals possess belongs to their Talmudic master, including their lives. Now we come to the question of why and how the US national debt of over $30 trillions arose. The fact is that Talmudists know that large sums of money, without any risk or competition, are in the hands of the state, so they created their own subjective political caste, which, in various political forms, perpetually holds state power and is monopolistically enriched at the expense of state funds and other state resources. In the United States, for example, the Talmudists adopted an unbalanced state budget for many years, which allowed them to use enormous funds without accountability for their own shadow enrichment. Government contracts, for the most part, were also awarded to various firms and corporations owned by these Talmudists or their relatives. This is how most US Talmudists became millionaires and billionaires, with the rare exception of those who, through their engineering talent, became auto tycoons or social media owners, or achieved this through their artistic talent. It is because of their theft that the US national debt is so large. So, how could the enormous US debt be legally repaid without harming the social security of Americans and the national security of other countries? It was necessary to abandon Talmudic theft and sabotage; it was necessary to create a constitutional system of state government, in which all state funds would be distributed according to their intended purpose by the country’s Parliament; then the economy would begin to generate real income for the country’s budget, and this debt could be covered. And what did Donald Trump do? He preserved the Talmudic caste system of governance in the United States, and, moreover, he began to address the issue of paying off the national debt by cutting social programs for the American people, and in foreign policy, by waging wars of conquest against the natural resources of other countries, such as Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, the Arab world, and so on. In other words, Nebuchadnezzar and Hitler have been reincarnated, were reborn as Donald Trump.In this regard, I can’t help but recall the USSR, which was destroyed by Russian Talmudists because their Talmudic goals clashed with the communist worldview of equality, justice, and morality. Therefore, the Talmudists of independent Russia began to embrace unconstitutional nationalism and the immoral and criminal Christian religion, since under the conditions of nationalism and Christianity, it is very easy to neglect equality, justice, and morality for one’s own Talmudic, caste-based political goals. When the European Union sanctioned the Russian government’s economy, it began creating BRICS to compensate for economic losses. Russia was offered the opportunity to form a military coalition of BRICS countries, but it refused, as Russia’s Talmudic political caste was alien to the security concerns of other countries, guided only by its own Talmudic caste goals. Only because of the non-existent BRICS military bloc did Donald Trump dare to attack Venezuela and Iran, and then, after seizing smaller countries like Greenland, Cuba, perhaps he will attack China. In other words, Talmudic Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have either understood each other, since they are in charge the most militarily powerful countries, and have decided to achieve their Talmudic goals without regard for constitutional norms, international legal frameworks, or concepts of morality and justice. Or they are lulling each other into a false sense of security, so they can launch a surprise attack at the right moment. From the very beginning of their Talmudic “perestroika,” the Russian Talmudists wanted together with the United States to jointly rob the nations of the world, but Boris Yeltsin, having destroyed Russia’s economy, politically lost this right, turning from hunter into game. But Boris Yeltsin, having destroyed Russia’s economy, politically forfeited this right, turning from hunter into hunted. Essentially, they want not a multipolar world, but a unipolar Talmudic world, in which they, along with the American Talmudists, will be the reigning rulers, while all other countries and peoples will be vassals, fulfilling only their will and desires, just as the children of fulfilled the desires of Jeffrey Epstein and Trump. How can the European Community protect itself from Donald Trump’s Talmudic dictation? It must focus all its core trade interests on its own vast market and on the external markets of countries in Asia, Africa, South America, Canada, China, Japan, and Australia. Then Donald Trump will not be able to blackmail EU countries by threatening to stop trade with them. I deeply regret that the time of great politicians like Joseph Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt, and William Churchill has passed; I regret that vultures and jackals, thieves, bandits, and child murderers now reign supreme. At the same time, my sincere respect goes to the Spanish leadership, which has preserved its honor, conscience, and dignity.Thus, the Satanic and atheistic Talmudists of the USA, and perhaps Russia as well, are greatly mistaken in preparing for their satanic domination of our planet, since they do not take into account the factor of God and the ending time for humanity, in the sense of the remaining possibilities of life on Earth, under the conditions of their satanic rule. Such management is rapidly destroying the economic and ecological potential of human life on Earth, including climate conditions what will be deprived of oxygen.
