There is an old expression about the Bolshevik revolution that says it was made by Jewish brains, Latvian bayonets, and Russian stupidity. There is a lot of truth to it, as the ethnic makeup of the revolution was not very Russian. One way to look at the revolution is as a revolt of subject people against their old masters. This was made possible by the cupidity and stupidity of the Russian elites. A very similar thing is happening in the American empire, just at a slower pace.
This formulation can also apply to the Middle East. For a long time now, the history of the region has been shaped by a combination of Israeli strategy, Saudi Arabian oil, and American force. It is reasonable to say that America would have no presence in the region if not for Israel. The creation of the Jewish state in 1948 set the region on fire, drawing in the Americans and Russian. Oil and gas, of course, is what made the region vital in the long battle between the two empires.
Since the Cold War ended, the primary reason for US involvement has been Israeli intrigue and Saudi oil production. The first crusade in Iraq was about protecting the oil and gas interests. The second crusade was about changing the balance of power in the region to meet Israel security needs. The crusade in Afghanistan was mostly about containing Iran, despite the rhetoric. Look at a map and it is easy to see that it would be a useful launching pad for air strikes against the Iranians.
The collapse of Afghanistan is getting a lot attention, but it is part of a larger collapse of the regional order. Israel, for example, has undergone a political revolution of sorts with the end of the Netanyahu regime. The new prime minister is the product of the neo-liberal order, rather than the fight for independence. He got rich selling software in America and his parents were left-wing fanatics from San Francisco. He is a man of the global managerial class rather than the local elite.
On the Saudi side of things, the walls continue to close in as their stranglehold on the oil and gas market collapses. New technology has opened up vast reserves in North America, so the need for Saudi oil has declined. Iran’s Caspian Sea natural gas deposit will put her on even footing with the Saudis. That leg of the triumvirate driving regional politics is no longer the gatekeeper of the world’s energy supply. Soon, they will be just another gas station selling a commodity on the world market.
Taken together, the old combination of Israeli strategy, Saudi Arabian oil and American force is about to unravel. America still has troops staged in Syria and Iraq, but the writing is on the wall there too. It also means Israel as the primary mover and shaker in the region is coming to an end. Without American firepower and the Saudi control of energy politics, Israeli is just another country in the region. Throw in the Russian-Iranian partnership and the Middle East is going to look very different.
This is one reason the neoconservatives have been trying to restart the Cold War with the Russians. Given the their involvement in the Middle East, a new contest with them would draw America back into the region. It was also why Israel talked Trump into dumping the Iran deal. Normalization of relations between Europe and Iran makes war with Iran impossible. If that is not an option, then there is little point in America maintaining a military presence in the region.
What we may be seeing is peak Israel. For generations, Israel has occupied the center of American politics. During the Cold War, the three “I’s” of politics were Israel, Indiana, and Ireland. After the Cold War it was Israel, India, and Investment Banking. It is fair to say that what passes for conservatism in America is just low-tax Zionism. The collapse of American involvement in the region means there is little reason to make Israel the focal point of American politics.
This is no small thing. The Republicans are celebrating the bad fortune of Biden and the Democrats over Afghanistan, but this is very bad for them. During the Cold War, the left-side of the American ruling elite was allowed a free hand in domestic affairs and the right-side ran foreign affairs. The end of the Soviet empire left the right-side without a reason to exist, so we got the crusades against Islam for the last 30 years. Suddenly, the only reason to vote Republican has gone away.
It is not all roses for the left-side either. Without the distraction of endless war, the focus will be on domestic issues. All of those people who were titillated by the prospect of “glassing” various countries can now focus their energy on the people trying to turn their sons into girls. America has been at war with someone for close to a century now and this has allowed the Left to remake the country. It also allowed them to underwrite their schemes with the proceeds of empire.
For seventy years, Israel has played an enormous role in the politics of the American empire, but that seems to be coming to an end. It may be that Trump’s decision to move the embassy to Jerusalem was the top of Israeli influence. The fading of the American empire, particularly in the Middle East, means the influence of Israel on the world must fade with it. It also means the Israelis will have to seek new partners in their endless game of neighborhood politics. America is no longer useful.

Most hospitalizations are among the “fully vaccinnated”
Basically, the word I hear is that their “vexcines” don’t work against the Delta variant. 70% of the new cases are “break through”. Real issue is that not only does the current vexcines not work as a preventative, the Covid spreads regardless of the precautions. Israel is as masked up and vaccinated as any country in the world—85%+, which is probably as high a level as is humanly possible in any society.

This goes along with what I’ve said for a year or two now, which is that we’re either or slightly passed Peak Jew in the United States.
Jews were instrumental in destroying the GOP via immigration and control of the media. They did this to avoid the mythical gas chambers in Ohio. But in doing so, they destroyed the party most favorable to Israel and Jews in general. They also made whites – the only ethnic group that looks at Jews as one of their own – a soon-to-be minority.
Jews are now trying to control a Democratic Party filled with people that hate them, either because they see Jews as whites or, occasionally, Jewish. Either way, Jews are pointed out, something they’ve never enjoyed.
In addition, Jewish power was always tied to American power. By turning the United States into Brazil of the North, Jews have dramatically reduced their power. Brazil isn’t capable of – nor does it desire to – send armies around the world.
Finally, you have Jewish out marriage is watering down the crazy factor in their people. The half- and quarter-Jews that I’ve known are smart but not devious and certainly not as neurotic as full Jews.
Jewish power and success were always tied to whites. Their push to destroy our people has hurt them as well. They won’t be able to just jump ship to China or India. The fact that Jews look white is a bigger deal that most people appreciate. Indians and Chinese definitely see Jews as the other and not to be trusted.
The scorpion is sinking with the frog.

For alot of them, particularly the mixed ones, it’s now a secular, meaningless identity. Basically along the flight from white line. Kind of the way that a Mexican-“American”, born and raised in America, will go on about how Mexican he is and totally ignore his American side, when in reality he’s not Mexican at all. But it gives him an identity and makes him feel like a part of something.
I know some half Jewish whore, half German gentile half Sephardic. A total mutt that does not practice the religion, and is not really ethnically Jewish, but still calls herself one. Into the great Globohomo melting pot.
1
Z’s perspective makes perfect sense but I don’t see it happening. Jews will find a way to keep the US tied militarily and financially to Israel. After all the majority of the states require you to sign a loyalty pledge to Israel if you want to do business with them. The Biden administration is heavily made up by Jews. Both sides of the uniparty are submissive to Israel and Jews are the biggest contributors to both wings of the Party.
Even China is aware that it must have strong ties with Israel. To get on the wrong side risks major trade problems with the US, the wrath of Wall Street and possible military conflict. Around the globe all but a few countries need to bend their knee to Israel. Opposing it just isn’t worth the blowback. See what Assad has gone through as an example and what happened to Libya.
I hope I am wrong but until I see otherwise I will just assume Israel will continue being the neighborhood bully safely backed up by the US.
12
Coercion is a sign of weakness, not strength. Getting people to sign a pledge just means getting people to break a pledge. The reason they want people to sign a pledge is precisely because there is no natural support for Israel anymore. Therefore, they are attempting to build artificial (read: false) support for Israel. The support for Israel is as strong as they paper it’s signed on, which is to say the support is weak, pledges notwithstanding.

British domination of Europe seemed really likely in February 1793. A decade later, Napoleon was running the place.

15
I’m not making any prophecies about domination in the area. It just seems like these countries are in talks over the area and their motives align.

1
Yes, but those talks are driven in reaction to American dominance. Should America cease to dominate, those talks may not be necessary anymore.
3
I disagree.
The growth of Iranian influence and the potential collapse of oil prices puts enormous pressure on Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is already under a lot of strain because their ability to underwrite their welfare state is dwindling fast. They have a clear expiration date that rapidly approaches. The country is a cauldron of enormous instability and if Iran steps up it’s pressure, this may push the Saudis to call on the Pakistanis to make good on their agreement.
What agreement? To me it seems likely that Saudi funds Pakistan’s nuclear research in exchange for rights to receive nuclear arms in an emergency. In fact, they may already be there. To me, in a world of abundant shale hydrocarbons in North America, there is no other reason for our enormous commitment to the odious Saudis. The Saudis having nukes and losing control of the ones they have is the biggest nightmare of all – to the region and to our nation.
This is why our involvement in the region will persist because we cannot be assured that nuclear weapons won’t fall into the arms of radical Islamacists. We let the Saudis fail, something bad happens – maybe here.
Plus, our defense contractors are not going to let us lose a bunch of their best clients.
18
Upvoted, but really, I’m kind of indifferent. The Sauds are hardly the only ones who are kiting checks.

I once heard John O’Sullivan say on CNBC “Hardball” I think, not to worry about Pakistani nukes because MI6 had backdoor codes on all the nukes as well as all the ISI’s password file.

1
So far, it’s looking like you’re right.
I think that the most significant development in Israeli affairs over the past few decades has been the cultural change within the American Jewish Community; namely most American Jews don’t give a shit about Israel anymore. Just like you’d be hard pressed to find a single US black that gives two shits about Africa, US Jews are firmly planted here on the North American continent because of the easy pickings and they would never even consider moving back to Israel because then they’d have to be around a lot of other icky Jews and have to compete endlessly against other Jews trying to take them to the cleaners everyday. How’s that for an evolutionary development, even Jews are starting to get fed up with Jews.
27
2
Well our Republican politicians sure care about Israel quite a bit. Even the seemingly based ones like DiSantis and MTG.
12
The Republican love of Israel is chum for their evangelical base, which sees Judaism as the beginning part of their faith. It is quite amusing that evangelicals love Jews, but Jews hate evangelicals, and Jews love blacks, but blacks hate Jews.
13
Jewish pro-Israel money drove these political positions more than evangelical base IMO. Check the names on the top of this list to understand who is really running the show:
https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/biggest-donors?cycle=2020&view=fc
Interestingly, Sheldon Adelson and the like who were very big donors to the GOP are now passing away of old age. As these guys die it will be interesting to see how American foreign policy positions change wrt Israel. I suspect that the next generation of Jewish donor will be less bellicose and pro-Isreal which, hopefully, will allow the GOP to assume more moderate foreign policy positions.
1
A big eye-opener for me was the number of supposed conservatives who got on board with speech restrictions for advocacy of the BDS movement. I don’t agree with BDS but an American should be able to say whatever the fuck he wants.
8
Part of it is $. When Ilhan Omar got into trouble for suggesting that American Jews donate a lot to politicians, Steve Sailer looked into it and discovered that in 2018 66% of the money from “top 50” donors came from Jews. Don’t discount blackmail either. Ari Ben-Menashe disclosed that Epstein had been an asset for Israeli intelligence.
Nonetheless, it would be both an improvement and an entertainment if the US rounded up all it’s Jews and deported them to Israel.
7
Given Israel’s “right of return”, they’ll self deport if things become too hot for them in the USA. That’s why they feel free to “shit where they eat”—they have “options”. Most of us don’t.
3
Gee, not a word about the British re-drawing the supposed national borders of what amounted to a hodge-podge of desert city-states run by clans, which is what actually set the region “on fire”.
The Anglo-Saxons never get tired of trying to make everyone else in the world do things just the way they’re done within 300 miles of the Thames River. In the case of the US, spreading democracy over the planet doesn’t extend to the unelected kleptocracy that is Saudi Arabia, At least Israel has elections that seem to be as legitimate as those in the US. Just as the Americans have turned Japan from a semi-feudal Asian empire to an outpost of “democracy” in the region, so too is Israel meant to be an example of modernity in social and political arrangements to the rest of the Middle East. The US won’t walk away from Israel any more than it will abandon Japan.
Also unmentioned is the role of religion in the area. Its importance may well diminish over time but presently the Muslims take their supernatural beliefs, Sunni or Shiite, very seriously. The western world worships Mammon, not Allah.

Oil was discovered on the coast of Iran in 1906, in Baghdad in 1921, and the naval nations began converting their coal-powered ships to the superior convenience of oil.

What I still don’t understand is the Iran deal.
I know Obama openly hated Netanyahu, but was the deal just a cut of some easy money by two low-rent grifters, Obama and Biden? Did Pelosi-Reid and the Democrat party need some emergency rent money?
What? I don’t get what happened there.
9
I thought it was because the sanctions regime against Iran was going to collapse anyway (some expiring time limits in that time frame) that, rather than trying to enforce the unenforceable (see, Russia and Nord Stream) or try to force a resolution to the sanctions (see: Iraq) he folded. Since the sanctions were ended, assets seized as part of the sanctions were returned (the pallets of cash being part off this).
Now was there some “higher game” to this where Obama and his cronies got a cut of the returned graft? Maybe, but Obama was(is) and ideolog so hurting an enemy can often be reward enough.
It seemed that the consensus on the real-right was that Obama did the right thing here, and it was a rare Obama achievement where, perhaps accidentally, the interests of America came out on top. Of course, it never makes it into his list of accomplishments spouted by turd-polishing supporters, which further reinforces in my mind that he did the right thing, even if it was for the wrong reasons.
3
Obama liked to read press clippings. As the WaPo and NYT drifted left there was political space for more balanced policy (read anti-Israel) in the ME. Hence support for the Arab Spring and nuclear control talks with Iran. The media drove US positions in the Obama admin regarding these issues. The fact that this policy debated centered on the interests of the Jewish NYT vs Jewish Israelis is the comedy of life.
The debate also exposes how little core American interests weigh when crafting American foreign policy. Which has been a problem for the last 70 years or so. Cleaning up this problem would require herculean efforts: getting rid of dual citizen governmental officials, cleaning up campaign financing laws, prosecuting for bribery — no more book/speech deals etc, repatriating many recent arrivals, reforging a healthy American identity for the remainder, etc.

Zman has been referencing “The Jewish Century” by Yuri Slezkine recently, and when you read it, you’ll see why.
Excellent insights on how there were 3 diasporas of the Jews:
*Bolshevik Russia (oops, sorry about all the murdering for utopia)
*To the US, with a heavy emphasis on globalism to weaken nationalism and thereby avoid another Holocaust
*To Israel, where HYPER-Nationalism is the watchword.
Probably impossible for the Jews in the US (globalists) to square the circle for the Jews in Israel. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out. Jews are not the monolithic united force The Protocols would have you think.
Most groups would be well served adopting many of the cultural habits embraced by this subgroup that punches well above their numbers.

Yep, we are a lawless nation—but not in the manner one commonly thinks. It’s not so much that the people no longer obey the law, it’s that those in charge not longer obey, or even enforce the law. That is not a distinction without a difference. It is the essence of the problem—no citizen can be expected to play by the rules when the elite do as they will.
This phenomenon is a throw back to medieval times of one set of rules for the aristocracy and another for the peasants. It is what our Founders set out to avoid and the true meaning of the phrase, “…all men are created equal…”

One of the mistakes I see Americans of all political stripes make – is that they don’t take the time to understand the arab history, their traditions, their values and their tactics. They are obsessed with themselves and their own place in the conflict … and that very seldom ends well.
The Middle East has always been on fire, long before the arrival of Isreal. Islam is an honour and warrior based culture that have blood feuds that go as far back as 7 centuries.
US and Israeli foreign policy in the area is actually sound: throw a monkey wrench into their politics and relationships as often as possible and keep them at each other’s throats. This is actually wise: left to themselves, a strong man would eventually wipe out his rivals and unify the arab world. If that happened, Israel is toast, and the US empire is legitimately threatened..
Arab politicos are masters of brinkmanship and the Iranians are the best of the lot. They know fools when they see them, and exploit them whenever they encounter them. In my time they humiliated the US under Carter, Clinton, Obutthole and now Joe. The argument could be made that Dubya was played by them as well. They knew better than to try Reagan or Trump.
Expect the pattern to hold while the USA still remains a country: acts of aggression, terrorism, and provocation will spike in times of weak leadership, and subside under stronger Presidents. Until Americans take the time to learn about arabs and understand them, any adventures in their world will ultimately fail.

“The fading of the American empire, particularly in the Middle East, means the influence of Israel on the world must fade with it. It also means the Israelis will have to seek new partners in their endless game of neighborhood politics.”
My question is, “What do the Israelis have that China wants?” Access to the Middle East? China already has an in with Iran, plus defecting allies of perfidious America. Money? What money do the Israelis have that wasn’t given to them by the West? Army/Air Force bases? They can get those easily from Muslim countries, and an Israel/China connection would just piss off the goat humpers. I’m not sure Israel will have much leverage with China since there is no sizable jewish presence in China.
11
“What do the Israelis have that China wants?”
China likes Israeli military technology. Much of this technology originates in the US. Some of it is sold to China against US wishes. US fears a future conflict with China. Israel has no fear of conflict with China. So their is an asymmetry of interest regarding weapons sales. See link below for an example:
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-china-arms-export-suicide-drones
Israel also likes Chinese money and investment in their VC space. China likes access to Israeli commercial IP and technology to bolster their own domestic industries.
8
China can get any US military technology from “The Big Guy” now, so what they can get from Israel is minor. Plus, they do all their weapon purchases on the down low. Is pissing off Islam worth it just for some minor advantages?
6
Regarding stealing or buying secrets from the US vs Israel, why not both?
Every country has something to gain from another country. Sometimes people forget that China is still a developing country. There are alot of commercial and defense related technologies in Israel that could benefit China. Israelis of course like cash. This is the basis for alot of the transactions between the two countries (Chinese cash for Israeli tech).
“Pissing off Islam?” Everyone respects money and power. China has millions of Muslims in concentration camps. But this doesn’t stop Islamic countries from doing deals with Chinese.
2
‘“Pissing off Islam?” Everyone respects money and power.’
Yeah, that’s really worked for America in the ME and Afghanistan. Your points are valid, but primarily because China is an alternative to the US. What will happen if China is the only game in town? Imperial power attracts opposition.

Reply to AWM: “What will happen if China is the only game in town?”
I think the answer to your question is what is going on in Africa. While western state and business interests have largely abandoned the continent, China is investing and developing. I don’t hear much about it, so it must be going well. Just because China is an economic hegemon doesn’t mean that they engender an opposition. Lack of opposition, I think, is due to focus on modest mutually beneficial economic goals for their projects. No BLM/globohomo flags from Chinese embassies. A lesson there for us for the future.
“I think the answer to your question is what is going on in Africa. While western state and business interests have largely abandoned the continent, China is investing and developing. I don’t hear much about it, so it must be going well.”
And why do you think western state and business interest have largely abandoned the continent? And just because you don’t hear much about doesn’t mean its going well. You get your info from the same people everybody else does. You’re making the assumption that China will not make any mistakes. If you’ve studied their history, one thing that stands out is their ability to make mistakes. Like everybody else that tries to achieve hegemony.
1
To AWM: “And why do you think western state and business interest have largely abandoned the continent?”
1. Colonial retreat from continent since end of WWII. Moral qualms about ruling other peoples.
2. Lack of interest in Africa’s raw commodities. West doesn’t manufacture anymore, so we don’t need commodities. Chinese manufactures alot, so they need them.
3. Moral qualms about investing in third world places. What about the environment, human rights, womens rights, LGTB peoples, minorities, etc? The west chooses to take no action thus avoiding harm. Buying iPhones direct from China avoids moral conflict (last sentence is a joke btw).
“And just because you don’t hear much about doesn’t mean its going well.” Looks like its going well (see link):
https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/china-africa
Not trying to argue military strategy or history with you. Noting only that China is having some success with straight transactions (cash for stuff — Israeli tech, Africa oil etc). Maybe our (USA) international problems now have to do with not knowing what we want and how to conduct a straight transaction without injecting morality into everything?

The geeky, scrawny nerd, who can’t dance and eats crappy food. The idea that brains > brawn. The idea that the loser becomes the winner. The idea that attractive people are dumb. The idea that fit/strong people are dumb.
These are all idea pushed on us by Hollywood. Europeans have always been quite strong, attractive, and martial. But we have an idea now in our heads that being weak, and/or a loser is cool.
Citizen put it perfectly though. They are finished, because Brazil can’t stand up to China, and can’t fight a war for Israel. Neither can Brazil Norte. They can’t blend in with “fellow” non whites. They are seen as just another white group – “white” vs “Jew” is the same thing as “English” vs “German”. Non whites see no difference, and hate them both regardless.
And important thing for our side is to keep our “radar” strong. They’re starting to try and blend in with the gentiles again using the “hey fellow whites” – now that non white aliens are getting absolute majorities. We need to prevent this. We make a home for ourselves, and let them fight for their own home in Israel.

I will believe its influence has been lessened when people are allowed to speak freely about a certain historical event without fear of being cancelled.

i believe the idea behind the article is that ju*uwish influence is waning due to the fact USA is loosing its foothold in the middle eastern region, not that the tribe ain’t still in control of Amuhrica.
All that’s left is the dollar, the j*uuw’s last card, they would indeed become nobodies if countries weren’t forced to use dollars anymore when buying oil. Thing is the major oil sellers(the saudis) need the retreating americans in that region for protection, their country is surrounded by shia muslims who hate them cause they’re sunnis. Imagine shia muslims who owe allegiance to Iran taking control over Saudi Arabia, petrodollars would quickly become a thing of the past.
There’s also China, but they obviously don’t give one fuck about the self-chosen tribe so the goldbergs won’t get any help from that part of the world either.

“For seventy years, Israel has played an enormous role in the politics of the American empire…”
This began when President Truman recognized Israel in 1948. He did this behind the back of his Sec. of State, General George C. Marshall, who adamantly opposed recognizing an Israeli state. Marshall thought he had talked Truman out of recognizing Israel and asked him to wait until he had delivered a speech at the UN explaining why America would not recognize a Chewisch state. While Marshall was on the way to New York to deliver his speech, Truman signed off on Israeli recognition. Marshall woke up to the headlines in the New York Times the next morning…and immediately handed in his resignation and went home to Virginia. This was back when some of our government officials had at least a shred of dignity left.
“America is no longer useful.”
This means that the Historic American Nation is no longer useful, and the Globalists who control our institutions will no longer have to pretend they like or need us. It’s about to get real very quickly.

One thing that must be said about Saudi Arabia, is that its kingdom is long in the tooth, just like our democracy. I can only imagine what the average Saudi is thinking while the government normalizes relations with Israel. There’s a palpable hatred of the royals in that country and it’s only waiting for some Sunni version of the Ayatollah to turn it upside down. I was amused by the world media love affair with the dead Khashoggi. This guy was planning to be that very Ayatollah, that’s why they took him out. He hated the royal family because he wanted power for himself and his friends. Had the Shaw sent assassins to Paris perhaps the story in Iran would have ended differently. One day these people will take over Saudi Arabia and the whole middle east will be in chaos. Yet another reason why we shouldn’t be within five time zones of that region.

Z-man, you are just plain completely wrong here.
First, Saudi oil is more not less important. Shale is done in the US, as the Biden Regency shut it down. No federal leases, cancelling the nearly completed Keystone XL pipeline, harassing existing frackers on private land. The jobs, money, and taxes don’t matter to the Upper Class Whites who control along with the Mulatto Ascendancy every part of society. They are committed to the ESG model, green and “reparations.” Biden had to beg the Saudis and Russians to pump more oil and was met with nothing. As the Green/Justice frenzy takes hold of the Upper Classes even more firmly Saudi Arabia will be even more of the critical swing producer and thus demand even MORE US military protection. Religious idiocy over the original sin of oil and gas production raising wages for icky Dirt People has consequences. This will make the Military happy as they lost their Special Forces Olympics playgrounds, and one star generals need promoting too (over bodies of dead soldiers).
As for the other nation, lets be honest about what it was — the proxy and deniable one at that for White dudes happy to see some other White dudes beat brown ones. That is why American certain people hate the US White supporters of the other nation. They know exactly what is going on. Moreover the failure of Bibi shows the limits of politics even when the White Upper Class is facing extinction. The other nation has due to its small size and small population basically zero margin for immigration, and Bennett being the anti-Bibi will throw the borders open eradicating that nation rapidly. Demoralizing those who wanted/needed a political solution to mass third world immigration and giving power to those who want a “los Pepes” solution to the issue.
Alternatively of course, Iran/Russia/Syria could simply wage a years long war of attrition and destroy that other nation. It has zero capacity to fight anything longer than a couple of weeks, again due to its small size and population. This has been known for decades. The destruction of that other nation of course would put the sword to dream of the Colors of Benetton. No one will fight or die for the Gay Pride Flag. They will for Allah.

It’s along the lines of censorship and declaring MAGA and covid skeptics terrorists. Desperately clinging to power. Not a fait accompli by any means.
The hats have written about Ukraine as the/an escape hatch. The 2014 Coup was a neo-bolshevik takeover by our best friends and greatest allies. The Ukraine Trump impeachment show trial was again our tastes great less filling crowd.
