Xi was hell-bent to attack Taiwan. Xi fired five of the other six Military Commission officers, the most powerful men in China, including 75 year old Zhang, a lifelong friend, son of the lifelong friend of Xi’s father… And chief of the entire Chinese army. The other five thought that attacking Taiwan was not a good idea, and opposed it. Xi wanted to attack now. Trump figured that one out.
So the US Navy has sent all the Iranian ships to the bottom of the sea, or even up in the air. The message to Xi? Don’t invade Taiwan, this is not the 1930s. This time the USA will not betray democracy and in particular France and Britain (which together have 8 of the 22 nuclear strategic ballistic submarines, the SSBN; each can kill more than 50 million people in twenty minutes… As a French admiral quipped, “we think that’s sufficient”).

In the 1930s, the greedy Roosevelt, wrongly venerated by naive Democrats, and the even more naive nations whom he “liberated” (after betraying them), before giving half of Europe to genocidal Stalin, wanted very much that US plutocrats could do with the European empires as they wished: carve and exploit. So Roosevelt allowed the Gettys to fuel Japan’s invasion of China, starting before 1931… Knowing full well it would excite the Nazis, Soviets, etc., as it proved the USA wanted them to carve their empires… And Roosevelt let Texaco fuel the invasion of Spain by Franco and the Nazis (the idiotic Hitler laughed about it for years, not realizing he, Hitler, had been played). Meanwhile hyper plutocrat Harriman, grand old man of the Democratic Party, and son of the railroad magnate Harriman, was busy providing the financial and human capital, the engineering the Soviets needed to exploit the Baku OFFSHORE oil fields, making the American the “Czar of the Kremlin”. Mussolini and Hitler would have been nothing without US plutocrats.
In 1939, 1940, and actually starting in 1933, Roosevelt refused to help the French Republic against the Nazis. As early as Spring 1933, FDR effected a spectacular 180 degree turn, after a visit by the French Prime Minister, within weeks, with a discourse in Geneva which threw democracy to the wolves. Roosevelt knew the world war was coming: he would make sure of it. And make sure that he would win it. Proof? He ordered, at the same time as he betrayed the French in 1933, the construction of 24 (two dozen) gigantic FLEET aircraft carriers…Several times more than the rest of the planet combined in the next 50 years (Roosevelt would also later order the construction of several dozen ESCORT aircraft carriers…).
Roosevelt started to invent the pretext of “isolationism” in 1935, well after he betrayed the French.
Up to August 1942 (yes 6 months after Hitler declared war on the USA) Prescott Bush managed what Hitler called “His most important defense company”. Yes, IBM had the monopoly of computing in Germany and fuel was made from secret US tech, etc…
The truth is simple: WW1 and WW2 were craftily and Machiavellianistically greatly organized by the USA so that European democracies would be wrecked and their empire ready to dissolve in US plutocratic maw. Proof? USA became immensely wealthier by breaking the embargo against the Kaiser fascist invasive racist empire. The Germans would have had to capitulate quickly if not for the run of the Franco-British blockade by US plutocrats, early in the war (the German Chancelor at the time said they would have had to capitulate within 18 months, max). The US charged every single bullet in WW1 to France (with punishing interest). France spent five TRILLIOn (yes, with a T) for the US Independence War and did not charge one single bullet (and made up to 90% of them).

Europe was devastated by US plutocracy in the Twentieth Century, with the help of idiotic racist and hateful Germans not understanding a thing… And manipulated from afar. Then, after 1945, the US installed a defeatist mentality in Europe, mostly by financing defeatist pedocriminal “intellectuals” starting with crypto Nazis like De Beauvoir (a professional Vichy propagandist) and Sartre (who never knew a tyrant he didn’t love). Michel Foucault was from the next generation of crazed (literally) French theorists, in love with all the little boys the Ayatollahs provided him with (they could BDSM together).
In the 1930s, the democracies did nothing as the Axis of Evil spread and invaded China, Ethiopia, Spain, Austria, etc. France tried to resist, but was distinctly betrayed by the USA and the UK (until in 1939, Madrid fell to the fascists). When German generals and admirals contacted Washington and London to beg them to make a united front with the French Republic, so that they, the German general officers, would have a reason to destroy the Nazis, they got betrayed (to Hitler; not too clear who did it among the Brits and US).
This time is different. Thanks in part to the invasion of Ukraine, after 12 years of a slow built-up, the Empire of Democracy is showing a united front. The US Navy blew up Iranian warships to show China’s Xi what would happen if he tried to invade Taiwan. The lesson is not lost on the tyrants.
In World War Two, the tyrants went a long way because plutocrats, in particular US plutocrats, provided them, too long, with what they needed: Japan invaded China for ten years, thanks to US oil. When that was finally cut off, Japan had just enough oil for one military push to Indonesia’s oil. Meanwhile Harriman and his friends developed Baku offshore oil fields for Stalin. Franco invaded Spain on US credit for his equipment.
This time the stakes are much higher, because nuclear weapons are devastating. The West has 22 nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs… Eight are Franco-British, and each can easily kill 50 million people in 20 minutes. Russia, China and their allies have understood that this is not the 1930s anymore, and that the leading democracies are allied and dangerous this time, and have drawn the line.
After Putin stole power in 1999, organizing bombings and a genocide to do that, Europeam plutocrats made a deal with him setup by Harvard intellectuals (Sachs, etc.): give us your money stolen by your oligarchs from the Russian people, you will provide us with energy and together we will rule the world…
And so on. The Putinophile crowd is aghast: they thought Trump was their agent, so why did the precious allies of Putin, Assad, Maduro, Khamenei fall? Where does the thinking of this bleating sheep come from? The plutocratically owned media, the same plutocrats who got sweet deals from the Russian oligarchs…
So why is it different from the 1930s? Because a few thinkers, such as yours truly, are pointing out the criminality of Western leaders and their alliance with the Russian tyrant. For example, why did French presidents sell crucial military tech to Putin after 2014 and after an explicit European law was passed forbidding to sell weapons to Putin?
In any case, Xi is forewarned: the Empire of Democracy is united and ready to wage war and blow Xi’s ships out of the water. By preventing the invasion of Taiwan, the attack on Iran is already a success.
In WW1, the 1920s and the 1930s, the US Deep Plutocratic State wanted to displace and replace Europe. France and Britain, the parents of the USA, were viewed as rivals by their ingrate progeny.
Nowadays, though, there is nobody for the USA to hide behind and exploit. After generations of nourishing carefully a spirit of defeatism and self hatred in Europe, the USA found itself in the solitary charge of the world. Trump’s mother, from Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, became a US citizen only when she was thirty. His paternal grandparents were German born in Germany. Trump is the first US president who could be a EU citizen, and he sure acts like the best president Europe ever had. Raising defense budgets to 5% of GDP is anecessity since Europe has grown the cancer known as Putin since 1999…
Evidence is that the Mayan civilization, which was millennia old, collapsed from war. Long story, but initially two superpower city-states controlled the Maya. Tikal may have had 50,000 citizens, straining the resources and ten million lived in Yucatan. There are many analogies with the present world. What is clear is that, helped by a historical drought, the military duopoly broke down, followed by degenerating cycles of wars and sudden destructions. Within a few centuries, more than 95% of Maya civilization had been wiped out, and stayed wiped out for five centuries, until the Conquistadores arrived… In the situation we have the Empire of Democracy has to stay in control… Whatever it takes.
