Alastair Crooke discusses Iran’s announcement of a new offensive that includes targeting US soil, the deployment of the USS George Washington to the Middle East and Israel’s shock about Iran’s rapid recovery amid talks of renewed CENTCOM & IDF strikes.
During the Danny Haiphong interview, he reveals the views of oil market experts that rationing of diesel in Europe is imminent, without saying exactly when it will come.
The rest of the interview is also very interesting.
Changes inside Iran. The young are highly dissatisfied with western cultural understanding. And are returning to more imaginative and spacious thinking, as was their tradition. The West is richer in money, but they see it as totally hollow and corrupt with no values. The Epstein world does not deserve to dominate.
Persia was the dominant empire in the region for thousands of years and they are thinking their way back to this state of being. The situation of American weakness in the region is opening up new possibilioties. The Americans destroyed Syria, weakened Lebanon by using Sunni and Oil Sheikhs, but Iran remembers that Iran was formerly the dominant player before Britsh and American interventions. As America withdraws, the Iranians are looking to the future, and to reestablishing their original culture, and spiritual ideas – the divine presence around you is now becoming visible once more as western materialist rationality is defeated and it withdraws.
The west is dysfunctional. The carrier crews are cracking. The equipment is malfunctioning. The lack of empathy is what is striking from high command. Not enough food. Bad food. Young men need food. Trump’s team called it fake news. Total lack of care. A deep malaise within the US armed forces.
Food privatised to a contractor. A sign of the decline of the United States.
The Romans only realised their empire was on the brink of collapse when the roads weren’t being repaired.
Trump’s team are into the quick buck. No longterm planning. The collapse is empire wide.
Iran’s partnership with Russia and China is now very deep.
BRICS is moving – China in a measured way to unfold a brand new financial order. Even European banks are giving credit in Renmimbi. Gold exchangeable warrants can be bought in Hong Kong. Deutsch Bank are giving out loans in Renmimbi for example devaluing the dollar. Credit in the future will come from China. Iran will be able to borrow from China. Iran has repaired much of her infrastructure in a very short space of time.
China and Russia won’t allow Iran to be collapsed, helping in all sorts of ways we don’t know about. The whole vibe has been changed globally. Americans, once feared and respected, are now laughed at. Their standing shrinks by the hour.
