Paul Craig Roberts has been expressing for several years in his regularly published essays great frustration over the failure of the world’s major powers to restrain the wanton criminality of the United States government on the world stage. In particular, he is perplexed at the apparent inability or unwillingness of China or Russia to stand up to U.S. military and economic aggression, even though either country, and certainly both as a united front, could very much limit the U.S.’s ability to be the global bully. He has long attributed the seeming impotence and irresoluteness of Vladimir Putin, in particular, to naivete or delusion, in particular the delusion that Washington will act in good faith toward Russia. In the ongoing Iran War debacle, Dr. Roberts has also accused Chinese President Xi Xin Ping of similar shortcomings, expressing great disappointment at Chinese seemingly craven and cowardly refusal to take a firmer stand in support of Tehran. This, to Roberts, is incomprehensible, given the economic leverage China holds over the U.S. In short, he cannot explain the nearly complete capitulation to the U.S. by most of the world, even though the Global American Empire (what some of us call the GAE) is in a state of visible collapse and can no longer project power the way it once could.
Here is something that Roberts and others in a similar state of confusion over current global events don’t appear to be considering, at least not in writing: what if the various conflicts that we see in play all around the world right now, including the newly launched debacle against Iran, are carefully scripted theater, perhaps decades in the planning prior to execution? What if each national leader is working toward a goal set by, or pursuing a reward from the Globalist cabal that is the power source of so many of the world’s governments? What if these hidden goals and rewards not only have nothing whatsoever to do with the peoples and wellbeing of the world’s nations, but are in fact inimical to their interests, serving only the welfare and power of the leadership class? What if each nation and its political class, each national leader, had a carefully choreographed role to play in a grand game that would guarantee them their reward if successful? What if what seem like unprovoked and completely illogical wars were carefully gamed, notionally rehearsed, and planned by all sides involved well in advance, even if they appeared to catch the world off guard? What if what seemed like a terrible loss for one nation in a conflict with another nation (or nations) and its citizens was actually a major gain for its national leadership, a gain not obvious to anyone, especially not that nation’s suffering citizens? What if we, the billions of unwashed, benighted serfs in every country of the world, at the mercy of controlled sources for our knowledge of world events, have been played like a cheap violin for decades?
I have absolutely zero hard proof, or even circumstantial evidence that this is what has been happening. It’s just another conspiracy theory, one of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands in circulation, created by people starving for the truth in a world overflowing with deceptive bullshit, the coating of which is now falling off in thick sheets. The “official” explanation, the narrative, no longer makes any sense to any critically thinking person, for any aspect of existence. So why do I believe that every war is theater and that every victor and victim an actor?
For starters, we need to ask ourselves: Why are some nations that are obviously capable of not only defending themselves against, but doing serious damage to the GAE not only not resisting it and its depredations, but are kowtowing to Washington, always to their own detriment? I’m looking especially hard at YOU, Russia and China. Neither one of you individually have any reason to fear the GAE militarily anymore, and if you were to ally with each other and foster solid political and ECONOMIC relations with America’s current allies as respectful equals, you could put an end to America’s global bullying entirely through diplomatic, economic, and military unity.
But these nations don’t resist. Instead, they and their people suffer in humiliation, letting the schoolyard bully stomp all over them, even when he is now at his weakest, and they know that he is at at his weakest, able to be knocked down and knocked out with a sufficiently concentrated punch while sustaining minimal, if any damage to themselves. Worse still, other, weaker nations that have made the unfortunate choice to look to Russia and China for some degree of protection against the GAE’s non-stop bullying find that their “agreements” and “treaties” aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. Syria, Libya, and now Iran have found that out the hard way (Venezuela, I will grant you, is too far away from either Russia or China to enable those nations to effectively project power. The Chavistas were morons if they seriously thought they could count on the Russian Spetznats or Red Army troops for protection).
So why have Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Xin Ping both been so willfully blind to and tolerant of Washington’s ceaseless lies and deceit? Allow me to channel Dr. Roberts here and ask why both leaders have continued to insist on engaging in diplomatic fuckery with successive U.S. presidential administrations when all of them, without exception, have acted in bad faith? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, maybe I’m a slow learner. But fool me repeatedly? I deserve to get my nose ground into the dirt, especially if I know better.
So what of any benefit are Putin and Xi getting out of playing the impotent cuck to Washington’s rapist? What are their governments getting out of it, since they haven’t removed either leader from power? Some people have theorized that both Putin and Xi are playing the long game with Washington, knowing that the U.S. government is under the complete control of (((the Tribe))) and its rogue paraiah homeland in the Levant. They are waiting, the theory goes, for the U.S., currently under the reign of puppet god-emperor Donald the First, to back itself into a corner from which it cannot extricate itself – something that Trump appears to be doing flawlessly with the war on Iran right now. Once he has wedged America into that corner, having done his semitic masters’ bidding, Russia and China, probably through their proxy Iran, will move in for the kill. As to the question of whether that move would provoke global nuclear war, there is an emerging theory, probably based on a good deal of truth leaked by insiders fed up with the status quo, that the U.S. has far fewer functional nuclear weapons in its arsenal than it claims to have, that much of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile is aging, in a poor state of maintenance, and is no longer battle ready, or even useable. This would not surprise me, given the deterioration of the U.S. military’s readiness and the corruption of its acquisition systems over the last few decades, a major contributor to its overall decline. But would the second and third most powerful nations in the world make that kind of risky gamble, especially at the cost of their own credibility as leaders capable of standing up to the GAE? I find the idea difficult to entertain seriously.
And what about countries like Iran? Iran is, to use an old folk expression, in the catbird seat right now. It has effectively closed off the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping. Its Houthi allies in Yemen could extend the damage that this is doing by simultaneously closing the Bab el Mandab Strait leading in the Red Sea, effectively shutting down commercial shipping and thus blockading trade to and from the Middle East. Simply stated, Iran now has the power to wreak havoc on global commerce that could plunge the entire world into another Great Depression. To put rudely, it has America’s balls (and Europe’s as well) in a vise that it can easily tighten. Couple all of this with NATO’s refusal to get involved as a force multiplier for U.S. military power, and Iran is in complete control. So why don’t they put an end to the war RIGHT NOW while they have the chance? A successful strike on Israel’s nuclear weapons facilities in the Negev Desert is easily within their capability (as is laying waste to all of Israel through conventional weaponry), a move which would essentially guarantee them victory. And yet they make no such move, instead continuing to allow Israel to conduct airstrikes against their infrastructure and civilian population centers. There is certainly no need for them to create additional martyrs to justify their war of self-defense. The U.S. and Israel handed them that justication on a silver latter, gift wrapped in fine paper, on the first day of their unprovoked attacks on Iran.
There are dozens of other questions that I could ask, and am sure other observers already are asking, about why the world is waging these unnecessary wars, nations prolonging their agony when they could easily subdue and defeat their enemies, especially their common enemy, the GAE (and its Israeli sidekick). So the question remains: cui bono? Who among national leaders gains anything positive from these wars, even when they and their people needlessly suffer? Within the U.S. and Western Europe the only logical answer to this question is 1) the Military-Industrial-Security Complex, and 2) global Jewry, to the extent that there is ultimately any real difference between the two. No one else has any stake in endless war, economic ruin, and societal destruction, so what are these forces offering the world’s leaders that incentivizes them to wage war at what should be a detriment to their own interests?
Or is “incentivize” the right word to use here? Is perhaps “blackmail” a more accurate one? But over what are they being collectively blackmailed that would threaten their positions? What would be so horrible, so scandalously unforgivable that revelation of it would depose them from power, or worse? Depravity, corruption, and wholesale murder are old and tired practices of tyrants. There is little, if anything left in the catalog of despicable actions of tyrants that would tip things over the edge.
So to summarize this long-winded monologue, I have no idea what could be prompting the world’s leaders to act in such a uniform way against what appears outwardly to be their own best interests. Perhaps the “global Jewry” angle needs to be explored in greater depth later on. Maybe its toxic influence has spread far wider and far deeper than we imagine possible. Whatever the cause, the official explanations of the status quo no longer convince any thinking, observant person. I hope and pray that others more informed and seasoned than I am will offer plausible explanations.
