Don’t let the title scare you. Lucas Leiroz has a unique and interesting perspective. From Leiroz at strategic-culture.su:
Ancient civilizations know how to fight wars; terrorist organizations and modern micro-states do not.
In an age of escalating geopolitical turbulence, it is essential to understand the underlying forces shaping the outcomes of today’s conflicts. One key factor – often overlooked – is the deep disparity between the historical weight of the opposing forces: modern terrorist networks attempting to challenge civilizations that have accumulated millennia of political, social, and military experience.
At the center of this confrontation is Israel, whose geopolitical nature defies traditional definitions. Far from being a sovereign state with legitimate historical roots, Israel operates more as a military protectorate, propped up by a Zionist ideology that many view as bearing messianic and apocalyptic traits. It is not merely a state project but the territorial embodiment of a sectarian vision, whose agenda, according to some analysts, reaches far beyond national security and ventures into the realm of global destabilization.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), far from being conventional national forces, trace their origins to a merger of terrorist groups that engaged in violent campaigns against Palestinian populations during the 20th century. These ethnic cleansing operations laid the groundwork for territorial occupation. That legacy gave rise to a strategy of military terror – mass bombings of civilian areas and targeted assassinations – which succeeded only in contexts where the enemy was fragmented, disorganized, and strategically weak.
For decades, Israel operated in a theater dominated by non-state actors and fragile Arab republics, incapable of mounting a serious resistance. But its confrontation with Iran marks a turning point. For the first time, Israel is fighting against a formidable state opponent – not just politically coherent, but one rooted in an ancient civilization: Persia.
Bibi thinks he is King David reincarnated and Chabad convert Trump (2017) was introduced by Mark Levin as the first Jewish president.
If these two don’t succeed in burning down the world for the mythical Rapture Express and the CPUSA (D) comes back, the Fundamental Transformation into South Africa continues?
Nothing new under the sun and those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it.
