ONE WEEK TO ARMAGEDDON?

   The article below is more "food for thoughts" than information. Still, some of the points highlighted are credible and worth considering. 

   Behind this absurd war there are real geo-strategic considerations and consequences. Iran knew they could not directly "win" a war with the US so they changed the checker board and transformed the goals of the conflict. 

   Trump by making the war existential for Iran obliged them in turn to make it existential for the US by endangering the hegemony of the US dollar. This in turn guaranties that the war cannot end without the defeat of one of the protagonists. Worse, the bar is much lower for Iran than for the US. They only need not to fold to win whereas the US must salvage the current system which at this stage may be far more difficult.

    It would have been easier for the Trump administration if the US was not over leveraged and if they had not spent the last few years literally insulting their partners, in Europe, North American (both Canada and Mexico) and Asia. But they did, so much so that the cooperation with the UK is said to be beyond repair, Takaichi, the Prime Minister of Japan recently said she would not put foot again on US soil to be insulted as she was last month and Macron recently announcing that negotiations with Iran might finally be a better path forward for Europe. Amazing job of destruction of a coalition if there ever was one! 

   So what comes next? 

   Trump could announce "Mission Accomplished"  and end the war as some people expected earlier. But at this stage neither Iran, Israel or even the Gulf countries will allow this easy exit. So the war which started on false premises, without strategy and without a plan B must go on and that is where we are entering dangerous territory. 

   As the war last, weeks after weeks, the credibility of the US is taking a beating. Their armament too but this is almost secondary at this stage, as soon, far darker economic consequences will emerge as the world global supply chain starts crumbling. Oil first, then LNG, Jet Fuel, Naphtha, Helium, Tungsten, Aluminum, Rare Earths from China, essential parts for machinery, Microchips, then more and more as the complexity of the system we have built starts unraveling.  

   Some countries will start paying Iran in Yuan to insure safe passage of their boats across the Hormuz Strait, then some Gulf countries will start accepting Petro-Yuan, and before we know it, the world will be a very different place. 

   This ineluctable consequence cannot be let to happen from the US perspective but then how do you prevent it from happening? Doubling down short of an almost impossible immediate victory makes the problem even more intractable. Boots on the ground in Hormuz is a nightmare of geography as we discussed in our previous post. There are talks of a nuclear strike, but this would solve nothing beyond killing scores of Iranians, radicalizing the rest of the world against the US and Israel. And it is likely that both China and Russia have quietly conveyed to their US counterparts that they would not accept such a move. 

   So beyond muddling through and indirectly losing the war slowly what unlikely solution can the US come up with? Could a general depression unite the world against America and oblige them to stop the war with the radical menace of ditching the US dollar? This is not completely impossible but this would require the support of the International Financial Authorities which would need to face Armageddon first in order to contemplate such a radical measure which if it fails risk endangering their own "system".    

   Whatever the solution to this crisis, it is now certain to be far reaching and have radical consequences. Think about it: The end of the Petrodollar, the end of Trump or a nuclear war. And first a depression which might be as deep or deeper than the one in the 1930s. We are truly on the verge of major changes. Buckle up!    

Post by Died Suddenly

The investigators at Died Suddenly have received a very concerning piece of intel that we wanted to share with our followers regarding the war in Iran.

Over the course of the last 4 years, this same source has given us intel that we have shared that has never once been wrong.

Please feel free to pray about this and use discernment in what we are about to share:

America has only one week of missiles left to defend allies in Middle East.

Nukes, invasion, and war with Russia all on the table.

Joe Kent resigned for one simple reason: He knows the Iran war is going poorly, was started purely by Israel lying and manipulating Trump, and he refuses to lie about those facts publicly.

I have spoken to several national security sources and this is the summary of what they have told me.

1) America is one week from exhausting our supply of interceptor missiles, without which we have NO EFFECTIVE MEANS of stopping incoming missiles and drones to Israel, Jordan, Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia.

Iran knows this and has intentionally kept back their biggest, most advanced, and deadly cruise missiles. Attempts by the U.S. to destroy those missile sites have failed and a good portion remain operational and ready to launch.

If America cannot protect our allies in the region, they will sue for peace without us. And without protection, Israel will suffer massive casualties.

The stockpile is dangerously low from the Trump administration using missiles to defend Israel since the Oct 7 attacks, and the war in Ukraine.

2) The current Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, survived the decapitation strike and follow on attempts, and has now successfully fled to Russia, where the U.S. is weighing committing another act of war, with Putin, by trying to kill him in Moscow.

AI videos or not, Iran will never surrender if they find out they successfully killed or gravely injured the “Great Satan’s” puppet master.

3) America has no good options to end this war, which needed to be finished quickly due to tyranny of variables stacked against the U.S. such as terrain, distance, lack of ground forces, and durability of the Iranian government.

Options now being considered are nuclear, and futuristic weapons, like the ones which were deployed in Venezuela, that struck fear into the minds of all our adversaries, the same adversaries now watching in shock and laughter as America falters in this half cocked, expedition against one of the strongest nations in the Middle East.

4) China is weighing an invasion of Taiwan by July of this year, because of the very real distraction and depletion of U.S. military stock piles, troops, and resources, for the Iran conflict.

5) U.S. casualties have easily reached 500, with many injured and dead that have not yet been admitted by the Pentagon.

America has lost 4 fixed wing aircraft, more than we’ve lost in 20 years of war combined.

The aircraft were not shot down “accidentally” as previously thought. They were downed by sympathizers in the Kuwaiti Air Force. The pilot indeed went rogue, and other fractures in the shaky Middle East alliance are plausible as this war drags on.

Russia and China have been capturing data from the combat operations, and providing satellite and intelligence support to Iran, and as part of this, have cracked the signal communication for America’s B-2 bombers, meaning, one of our primary deployment means for nuclear weapons, previously stealth and untraceable in radar, can now be tracked in flight and shot down, a major blow to nuclear deterrence and MAD threat against other super powers.

This war may have effectively “evened the playing field” for China.

America’s only options are bad, and Kent knew this when he resigned. Best thing we can do is literally and figuratively “put down the shovel” and stop digging our hole deeper.

Cease all combat operations before this escalates into a new world war, and more Americans and allies are killed.
