US and NATO Are "The Fourth Reich". Strikes Inside Iran are Contemplated.
By Drago Bosnic | February 05, 2024
Brazilian journalist Pepe Escobar, often calls the United States a "Rogue Superpower". Could this be an exaggeration? Not in the slightest.
On the contrary, Escobar is exercising basic decency and etiquette, something that even American diplomacy is completely incapable of. It's certainly old news that the US-led political West has been conducting a comprehensive aggression against the world. However, we keep forgetting just how massive its scope is.

Brazilian journalist Pepe Escobar, often calls the United States a "Rogue Superpower". Could this be an exaggeration? Not in the slightest.
On the contrary, Escobar is exercising basic decency and etiquette, something that even American diplomacy is completely incapable of. It's certainly old news that the US-led political West has been conducting a comprehensive aggression against the world. However, we keep forgetting just how massive its scope is.
It's barely been a month into 2024, and here's Washington DC, already bombing half a dozen countries and threatening at least that many more. This includes Syria, Iraq and Yemen, while nobody's even reporting on drone strikes all across Africa and the Middle East (including occasional attacks on Afghanistan). They're also threatening Iran, Venezuela and several other countries in Latin America, including Mexico.
On February 4, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan refused to rule out the possibility of strikes inside Iran. Attacks on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its allied militias in Iraq and Syria are already underway. On February 3, the United Kingdom also joined this aggression. To put it simply, there was an attack on American soldiers in Jordan, so Washington DC is bombing Syria and Iraq (for God knows which time). Make it make sense. Former US president Donald Trump, who's anything but innocent when it comes to America's disastrous foreign policy, has repeatedly condemned Washington DC's presence in the Middle East. He completely deconstructed the mainstream propaganda machine's laughable narrative that the unfortunate region is supposedly "more stable" thanks to the political West's aggression by simply pointing out that it's "a mess".
And indeed, who in their mind would think that having terrorists and various shady groups running entire regions and even countries in the Middle East is better than having Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi or Bashar al-Assad in power?
Well, the US and its puppets certainly think so and precisely thanks to that, countries such as Libya, Syria and Iraq have been ravaged by decades of war. This is without even taking into account other countries such as Yemen where millions have been brought to the point of extinction, mostly through hunger and sheer brutality. Despite all that, including its humiliating defeat in Afghanistan nearly two and a half years ago, Washington DC wants to convince everyone that invading Iran would actually make anything better. There are close to 90 million people in that country, which also has a very robust domestic military industry, as well as a sizeable stockpile of ballistic missiles and drones.
It should be noted that the US itself is also a far cry from 2003 when it could muster hundreds of thousands of soldiers, as well as those of its vassals and satellite states. In other words, Washington DC simply doesn't have the conventional forces to pull off such an invasion. The American people are simply not interested in serving in the military as they were just 20 years ago. So, what does that leave it with? Weapons of mass destruction or WMDs. And indeed, the Pentagon has an undisclosed number of W76-2 warheads that have a very small yield of 2-7 kt (kilotons of TNT). This is upwards of only 10% of the destructive power of the "Fat Man" atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Basic military logic implies that such weapons are pointless against a country like Russia that has multi-megaton monstrosities such as the unrivaled RS-28 "Sarmat" and whose retaliation would devastate the entire NATO.

In all actuality if you were to go to Tehran and speak with the average Iranian what you would discover is that they don't give a shit about Israel:
Loading up various countries with more weapons as more evidence of the United States being a "rogue superpower". What are the dynamics here? Wouldn't we like discovery on the names of the people at the Pentagon, the US State Department, the weapon manufacturers and those in Taiwan who are involved in cutting these weapon deals?
