“If it feels right, do it!” is lousy advice when deciding whether or not to go to war. From Alastair Crooke at strategic-culture.su:
China and Russia have been remarkably quiet, watching carefully the global tectonic plates shifting around in response to the ‘two wars’.
China and Russia have been remarkably quiet, watching carefully the global tectonic plates shifting around in response to the ‘two wars’ (Ukraine and Israel’s ‘multiwar’). Really it is not surprising; both states can sit back to simply watch Biden and his team persist with their strategic mistakes in Ukraine and in Israel’s multiple wars.
The interlacing of the two wars will, of course, shape the new era. There are substantive risks, but for now they can observe with comfort from afar as a climatic juncture in world politics unfolds, gradually raising the pace of the attrition to a circle of fire.
The point here is that Biden, at the centre of the storm, is no cool-headed Sun-Tzu. His politics are personal and highly visceral: As Noah Lanard has written in his forensic analysis of How Joe Biden Became America’s Top Hawk, his own team say it plainly: Biden’s politics is seated in his ‘kishkes’ – his guts.
That can be seen in the disdainful and graphic way in which Biden sneers at President Putin as an ‘autocrat’, and the way he talks about victims of the Hamas attack being massacred, sexually assaulted, and taken hostage, whilst “Palestinian suffering is left vague – if mentioned at all”. “I don’t really think he sees the Palestinians at all”, says Rashid Khalidi, Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University.
At least the tweets aren’t mean and Brandon Tzu is a warmaster on par with Austin von Clausewitz and his bedpan.
External enemies will stand by while O’Brandon burns it all down the best.
Wakanda? Yes we can, si se puede!
Wakanda is the law deplorable kulak untermenschen scum.
