Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
War is the steady-state of history, human and otherwise. Those who win the wars of their times are revered. Those who do not are not. That is all.
Germans of recent memory lost three wars in a row (WWI/WWII/Cold War I). Now they have lost a fourth, against Islam. Summarily surrendered to is more accurate. Russians lost two wars (Afghanistan, Cold War I). French and British lost three wars (WWI/WWII/Cold War I). Americans lost five wars (China/Korea/Vietnam/against Socialism/against Islam) and contemplate losing three more (against EU, Iran, and China again).
Carnage is never a measure of statecraft’s legitimacy. Only victory is. And victory is controlling the land an enemy calls home.
Principles, decorums, moral standards, so-called human rights (there are none) do not enter calculations of statecraft. Only independence (freedom) and sovereignty matter in affairs of state.
To those who dread the eclipse of so-called Western Civilization (properly spoken, The Latin Church), I say, look at the number of wars of recent memory that you have lost, and, Cry Me A River.
Βασιλεία του Θεού
Kingdom of God
Update 1:
1- Continetti IS the liberal/neocon foreign policy establishment (aka globalist, fear-mongering swindlers) wanting to appease Iran and reinstall D-R UniParty’s sell-out of US sovereignty. Married to a chief swindler’s daughter, or was not too long ago. Family matters, pace Maggie T.
2- This analysis excludes two actors: Israel and the gulf state monarchies.
3- POTUS Trump knows the force levels needed for direct battle with Iran. The technical term is: overwhelming.
4- Russia is reported to have told Iran that they are on their own in a shootout with USA. This move, whether it happened or not, is completely rational and predictable relative to Russia’s strategic conditions and needs.
5- Were I to guess at realities behind the fog of war puffing forth from USA, Iran, and the other two actors mentioned here by me, it would be that Iran plans to continue attacking gulf state monarchy energy assets (she must restrict supply by others) and USA-Coalition and gulf state monarchies are preparing to open a gap in the Iranian line (Soleimani) for Israeli assets to breeze through to cross the goal line of ayatollah annihilation, overwhelming.
