The Agony Of The Script Writers

The great philosopher Mike Tyson famously said, “Everyone has a plan until I punch them in the face.” He was, of course, paraphrasing the great Prussian field marshal, Helmuth von Moltke, who said, “No plan survives contact with the enemy.” That is an abbreviated version of the original. Some version of this expression no doubt exists in most languages, as it is an essential part of human existence. All plans suffer from the faults of the people making the plans.

We may be seeing this unfold in the Levant, where the Israeli plan to exterminate Hamas and anyone near them is running into trouble. The narrative unleashed on the public was that the attack on the drug rave near Gaza, in which an undetermined number of people were killed, was the red line. The Israelis were now justified in taking any and all necessary steps to eradicate this threat. All media nodes were activated to whip up support for maximum vengeance against Gaza,

Curiously, it was not just Israel whipping support. The Washington regime swung into action with more than just words of support. Every administration official was sent out to cry in public while demanding blood. Word was leaked to regime media that Washington told Tel Aviv they had a green light for anything. They sent two carrier groups the eastern Mediterranean in support of the project. Top diplomats were sent to Israel to express their unwavering loyalty to Israel.

As an aside, the dispatching of two carrier groups to the eastern Mediterranean only makes sense if Washington expects to be in an air war. Given that Hamas lacks an air force, it must mean they are thinking about a neighboring country. There has also been talk about moving another attack group to the northern part of the Indian Ocean, within reach of Iran. You do not need these assets to launch a rescue mission into Gaza and they are not needed to supply Israel with weapons.

You do not have to be a suspicious person to think that maybe there was something else going on here rather than just a response to a terrorist attack. Israel and the Palestinians have been at this for half a century. This Hamas attack was an unusually successful action on their part, but it was not that unusual. They stage these raids all the time, which is why Israel spends enormous amounts of American tax dollars on the world’s most advanced border security.

One possibility is that this Hamas attack was catalyst for a larger narrative developed in Washington for when the time was right. Israel would be seen as pushed into a corner with no choice but to preemptively strike at its enemies. These enemies would be aligned with Iran, which would then come to the aid of them. This would trigger a wider war with Iran, which would be when the United States joined in to attack the nuclear, missile and drone facilities in Iran.

That skeleton of a narrative was quickly filled in with the Hamas attack. Note that regime media was filled with claims about Hamas being an Iranian proxy and that this attack had to be planned by Iran. In reality, Hamas gets its support from Qatar and was a creation of Washington and Tel Aviv. Iran has provided support over the years, but they have little control over Hamas. Few people know this, so these details could be bulldozed by the wave of claims to the contrary.

Israel immediately went to work dropping bombs on Gaza, while saying quite plainly that the intent was to drive the people out of Gaza. According to the pro-Israel media complex, the Palestinians have forfeited their right to exist by their ongoing support of Hamas, so Israel had the right to use any means necessary on them. The rhetoric and immediate actions were over the top, but most likely intended to elicit a response from Iran in support of the Palestinians.

Looking at the rhetoric, Washington must have been thinking that Iran would greenlight Hezbollah to launch cross border attacks from Lebanon. They spent a couple of days warning against such an act. Israel launched some attacks into Lebanon, probably on the same assumption. They also launched an air raid on the Damascus airport, probably for the same reason. The script said Hezbollah would attack so Israel just assumed it would happen and acted accordingly.

Outpacing the script is something we have seen with Ukraine. Washington created a narrative for the Ukrainian offensive last spring, which said that they would burst through Russian defenses and reach the Sea of Azov in a few weeks. This would set off a crisis in Moscow, maybe even topple Putin. They were so sure this would happen they even planned a peace conference in Saudi Arabia, without inviting Russia, in order to determine the terms that would be imposed on Russia.

The great Ukrainian offensive was a disaster, complete with images of burning Western tanks and video of Ukrainian soldiers trapped in mine fields. Instead of marching to the Sea of Azov, the Ukrainians marched into thick minefields without air cover and were destroyed by Russian air power and artillery. It took months for this reality to sink into Washington, so they continued on as if the script was reality. Only recently have they abandoned the script they created last winter.

That is something to keep in mind with this new script. Iran did not take the bait and has instead called for negotiations. Hezbollah has stayed quiet, despite the Israel attacks on their facilities in Lebanon. Instead of offering an excuse for the regime to launch attacks on Iran, the Iranians are backing the play of Russia and China to find a diplomatic solution to the Gaza problem. Washington remains committed to their bit, but it is clear that the Middle East is not playing its part.

Where things go from here is hard to say. The Arab world is slowly figuring out that they are being gas lit by Washington. Biden’s trip to the region was scaled back to just a goodwill visit to Israel. This is happening as the world debates who dropped a missile on a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds of civilians. Israel says Hamas bombed themselves, while everyone else says it was Israel. Odds are it was Israel, and it was simply a mistake, which happens in war.

Then you have the fact that the IDF does not want to enter Gaza. A ground campaign would be a bloody and expensive project. There is no guarantee of success, given the history of such efforts. There are up to half a million fighting age men in Gaza, which is one of the most densely populated places on earth. Imagine a guerilla war in Manhattan and you have a good idea. It took the Russians six month to take Mariupol and that is a city a quarter of the size of Gaza.

Instead of an excuse to bomb Iran and maybe Syria, the narrative writers are slowly getting boxed in by the diplomatic efforts of Russia and China. Putin has had one-on-one talks with all of the players, including Israel. China is coming in with promises of financial support for the peacemakers. Meanwhile, Washington is saber rattling and carrying on as if their script for this project is reality. It is not a good look and probably why Arab leaders refused to meet with Biden today.

Washington now finds itself on the wrong side of a war that no one really wants, especially the Israelis. As is the case with all of the narratives dreamed up by Washington, this one does not come with an exit ramp. A week of fiery rhetoric in favor of righteous retribution and threats to anyone saying otherwise has left the administration with few options. As with the Ukraine offensive, they may be forced to pretend everything is going according to the script.

So for 4 years I heard liberals claim that Donald Trump’s reckless behavior was going to start WWIII. That sounded like identical claims I heard when Ronald Reagan was taking down the Soviet Union. One note regarding this… both men were anti-government outsiders, Trump absolutely, Reagan more or less. Of course neither man started WWIII and both left the world a safer place regarding foreign policy, because both men projected strength and our enemies feared them. Now we put a weak, self-serving, corrupt, lifelong government bureaucrat with deep connections to the deep-state and neocons (who are really Trotskyites) and all… Read more »

The Biden trip over there had a two-part purpose. – Hamas is a US creation and we need to stall the Israelis to protect their Hamas investment. Jordan and Egypt canceled their meetings with the Biden regime because the Biden regime was insisting they let Palestinian refugees into their countries. Both Jordan and Egypt have spent the last 10 years (since Obama’s “Arab Spring” attempt to put the Muslim Brotherhood in charge) trying to purge their countries of these murderers…and have been fairly successful. Letting the “refugees” in simply means they would be forced to re-radicalize their population. Telling Biden… Read more »

“The US reaction resembles some late 1980’s response, just lacking the USS New Jersey lobbing 500lb shells from off shore…”

That sounded low, unless only the secondary armament was used, so I looked it up. And it seems the projectiles fired by the USS New Jersey’s main guns weighed from 1,900 to 2,700 lb.

Well Putin just noted that the two U.S. carrier strike groups in the Eastern Mediterranean are now within range of Kinjal missiles. He said that was not a threat and that he was only relaying information from the Russia Air Force.

Just as with any random country you might pick in Central and South America, Israel’s existence depends in no small part on the people who live there. Israel is unique in that its people have been mostly dwelling somewhere else for the last 2,000 years. So the first thing you might fail to notice when we talk about Israel is that Ashkenazi (Central European) Jews may not have all that much in common with the Sephardi (Iberian) or the Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) Jews, even genetically. From such oversights, it is easy to suppose that Jewish decision-makers (the Ashkenazim among them… Read more »

2004: Teheran’s brand new billion-dollar airport is closed down on its first day.

Reason? The first thing to land was a shipment of North Korean uranium for enrichment by Iranian cyclotrons.

The hazmat handling equipment authorized by Al Gore for Pakistan and Iran hadn’t arrived yet; so the unloaders clumsily dumped the radioactive material in the landing zone, closing it for a year.

Plus! At the time, Iran had the largest missle array; they had delivery, but not the bomb, so they resorted to buying up the old Baikanoor Soviet warheads thru third parties in Kazakhstan.

Generally the use or prohibition of a weapon in war is based on its ability (or lack thereof) to cause collateral damage which, ostensibly, warmongers try to minimize. The bullet can be precisely aimed; the chemical weapon can waft to places unknown and contaminate for long periods.

“Weapons of mass destruction” is total bullshit — an attempt to steal the significance of nukes and smear it on weaponry that doesn’t remotely justify it.

I have no doubts that the satanic jews blew up that hospital on purpose. The jews have no belief in the intrinsic value of human beings who aren’t jewish. They look at the rest of us as farm animals to be worked or slaughtered based on their whims. jews only abuse, steal and destroy; The Lord God will vanquish them and their master satan at the end of days, using God-fearing people as His vessels.

You missed a step. The AntiChrist is a culture, whose values are accepted by goyim. Not a singular man or entity like a Bond villain, Nicolai Carpathia, or Gavin Newsome. Like Jesus or Allah are the faces of a culture. The political vision of the AntiChrist manifested physically in 1948 as a certain State. Culturally, the White world accepted Its dominion, its values, as did our Aryan Israelite tribal ancestors in the past. This is what we call the Judeo-Puritans, or the Rhodes Societies, or the Free Masons. The Whites were promised that they could rule openly… But only under… Read more »

The Antichrist, written by Friedrich Nietzsche, was translated from the German by H.L. Menken for the publisher Knopf (Borzoi Books). His amazing introduction is nearly as long as Nietzsche’s work, and full of his typically sardonic humor. He mentions that Nietzsche, the son of a Christian clergyman, had intensively studied the scriptures and came away wondering if Christ had been the only Christian. [There are plenty masquerading as such these days, and with broadcasting networks, yet.]

I have always thought that one of the main reasons the Jews remain so butthurt about what happened in the 1930s and 1940s is that the Germans beat them at their own game.

Methinks that Biden’s handlers believe that only a major war can save his candidacy and they don’t give a damn if it starts WW3 as a consequence. As bad as that is, I don’t think Russia or China will take the bait. The GAE is in a death spiral and they are perfectly willing to let the West flail about mindlessly exhausting itself as an embarrassment to the world. Narratives only matter within the beltway and most Americans pay little heed to the MSM any longer. The way things are going, if Biden gets his war, he may find out… Read more »

I don’t see why they would think war in the Middle East, particularly with Iran would improve Biden’s chances at home. A war with Iran would likely send the price of oil through the roof and inflation would spiral out of control. It could also mean shortages of oil. Gas could be North of $10 a gallon. Nor would they likely be a pushover like Iraq or Afghanistan. Iran’s drones were very effective in Ukraine. Whose to say they don’t have other very effective weapons? They also have a lot of missiles that aren’t made from pipes.

Bernhard over at his site Moon of Alabama makes a case that the immediate goal for Israel and AINO is not Iran, but Syria. Syria serves as a link between Iran and Hezbollah.

Also, the Russians have their presence, both through their naval base at Tartus, as well as through their air and ground forces in Syria. But those forces are relatively small, and anything that complicates their resupply or the upgrading of air defense can be problematic for defending against any major AINO assaults.

The sad truth is to have lasting peace, either the Palestinians or the Israelis are going to be ethnically cleansed. The only peaceful way for this to happen is to give the entire population of Palestine a big, fat check to leave and find a host country to take them. Israeli’s will never leave until they are overrun or nuked.

The problem is also, that no sane country wants them:

This is kind of a replay of the Suez Crisis, with the United States in the role of 1956 France/England/Israel, and China and Russia in the role of the US circa ’56. The imperial shift from the UK to the States had occurred quite a few years prior to ’56 but Suez made that stark. This is very similar to then. It is staggering to think that less than 70 years ago the States could be hostile to Israel, although demographics may make that great again.

Your ultra blue libtard is no doubt like all the other libtards: if non-Jewish, they side with Palestine but they don’t want to criticize Biden because they’ve invested so much in him as the “Anti-Trump”, covering his a$$, they have to fall in line or at least keep silent.

Not surprised the Israelis have paused; seen reports that they’ve mobilized over 300,000 troops but here’s the thing – they’re gonna need that & a lot more: urban combat is THE. WORST. I speak with a lot of Veterans by nature of what I do & former Marines who served in Hue City during the Tet Offensive in 1968 have spoken @ length about it. Urban combat is an absolute nightmare; you never know what’s around the next corner, in the next room, upstairs or downstairs. The Marines couldn’t move down the streets due to the NVA having them covered… Read more »

Encircling in the hope of an evacuation seemed to be Israel’s plan as well.

It’s obvious that Israel want the Palestinians to leave. For most of the world, the solution to this problem is a Palestinian state, but Israel isn’t going to go for that. They want the Palestinians gone and Gaza for Israeli settlers.

That’s why the Russian/Chinese diplomatic moves are so interesting. They’re going to force Israel’s hand.

It doesn’t get mentioned a lot, but Israel has been somewhat neutral in the Russia/Ukraine war. The reason for this is the obvious decline in American power.

Not neutral enough though, they’ve aided the Ukraine more than a true neutral would have done. They’ve provided advisors and a little military aid but no money.

The way events are unfolding you’ve just got to wonder if that New Khazaria story that has been floating around doesn’t have a little basis in truth. The Ukraine is being depopulated right now so it’s empty in case those in the Middle East decide it has beome too hot for them to stay.

Z – Bahkmut – & the whole Ukraine SMO – seems to be a reworking of General Erich von Falkenhayn’s strategy @ Verdun 1916; bleed the enemy forces white. According to Col Douglas MacGregor, USA, Ret., Ukraine has lost upwards of 450,000 KIA to date with Russian casualties somewhere around 70,000. That’s an incredible inflict-to-loss ratio if accurate (Germans inflicted an incredible 11 to 1 ratio on the Soviets during WWII). As heretofore noted, he’s getting reports that Ukraine Press Gangs are rounding up all able-bodied men from 16-60 for active service. The Russians even claim to have captured a… Read more »

I increasingly hear the word “stalemate”. I’m not sure that’s accurate. Not an educated person here, but I always thought it referred to two opponents—neither of whom can make progress against the other. How do we define progress? Well, simplistically we can look at territorial gains. Another way, we can look at the losses one side inflicts upon the other. I prefer the latter. Russia is bleeding Ukraine dry wrt combat effectiveness and if latest accounts are to be believed, extending their attacks to more of the country’s infrastructure to affect civilians than before. This is not a stalemate, but… Read more »

Compsci- You are correct sir. Bad wording on my part. It’s only a “stalemate” in that the Russians – for whatever reason Putin has chosen – to lay back behind fortified positions & let the Ukrainians hurl themselves at them. Since their armor never appears to get very far the Ukrainians have had to attempt it with infantry, hence their high casualty rates. According to Col Douglas MacGregor, USA, Ret., & Larry Johnson (former CIA) they are under the educated – thru their sources in Ukraine & Belorus – opinion that Putin’s “hanging back” strategy seems to bleed the Ukrainians… Read more »

They may be turning Avdeevka into another Bakhmut. It will not be entirely encircled, but Zelensky will be allowed to push in reenforcements to be killed in another “meatgrinder.” 50,000 more dead Ukrainians.

Senseless & there’s no reason for it; they could have had a ceasefire over a year ago but former PM Boris Johnson convinced Zelensky to suspend any convo with Putin since the west “had his back”.

The west will defend Ukraine to the very last Ukrainian.

An urban battle that is not well known, but was extremely costly was the 1945 Battle of Manila. IIRC, the Japanese Army evacuated the city, but Japanese naval infantry put up a ferocious and ruthless resistance that inflicted heavy casualties on the advancing Americans, but especially on Philippino civilians. Almost all the Japanese defenders died, but that was typical of WWII. Urban warfare is something to be avoided if at all possible. Even when you win, you lose.

Disagree.

Wikipedia (Battle of Manila (1945)):
Strength
35,000 US troops
3,000 Filipino guerrillas
[Japan:]12,500 sailors and marines
4,500 soldiers…
Casualties and losses
[US]1,010 killed
5,565 wounded…
[Japan]16,665 killed (counted dead in Intramuros[section of Manila] alone)… 
Civilians:
100,000 killed
250,000 total casualties…”

Given that the civilians in this case would be enemy ones repeating this might even be a good investment for the Israelis.

Helmuth von Moltke! There’s been a story about him floating around that’s always cracked me up. Apparently the tale is told that he only smiled two times in his life – once when they showed him some kind of obsolescent field fortifications and once when his mother-in-law died.

Your tale is most likely false. They don’t make them like von Moltke anymore. He was cut from the same cloth that produced military leaders like Washington, Marshal, and Lee. But von Moltke’s son did not measure up and proved to be a mediocrity.

It was said of Helmuth von Moltke the Elder that he was the only man who could be silent in seven languages. He was very unusual; an introvert who nevertheless became an excellent and highly respected military commander. His statue in Berlin depicts him in thoughtful repose, not astride a horse, or waiving a sword. Towards the end of his life he became concerned about how destructive modern war was becoming. Unfortunately for Germany, his nephew, von Moltke the Younger, lacked his cool temperament and had a de facto nervous breakdown during the First Battle of the Marne. As another… Read more »

To the Pentagon, All Wars Are WWII — America has endless supplies of everything and total air and naval superiority, so it can do what it likes (my favorite statistic from WWII is along the lines of “6,000 lbs of ice a day.” That’s what they were making on some godforsaken Pacific rock within a week of it being captured, just to keep the rations cold.

“Washington now finds itself on the wrong side of a war that no one really wants, especially the Israelis.”

The Israelis want the war, I think. They just don’t want to fight it themselves. Rather, they want American soldiers to fight and die for the cause. We saw this dynamic in Ukraine, where the tribe didn’t hesitate to sacrifice mountains of goyish blood for the cause.

Sacrificing other people’s kids is easy. Their own, not so much.

It does almost seem like the DC crew maybe had the same idea as Ukraine and fighting Iran to the last Israeli. Too bad for them the Israelis aren’t quite as dumb as the Ukes.
