The End of Pax Judaica or the Beginning of World War III?
Eric Striker
The seeming conclusion of the Iran war, dubbed a humiliating defeat for the soon to be fully integrated US and Israeli militaries, is more than another one of Washington’s failed Middle Eastern adventures (the sixth in 25 years). This time, regime insiders are warning that the end of Pax Judaica, the world order established by the Allied victory in 1945 and reinforced with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989, is finally here.
On one side of the global conflict to decide the fate of the world is the Washington consensus, represented by its G7 client states as well as Israel and Ukraine, which costumes itself as normative liberalism while granting sovereign power to a network of Jewish supremacist billionaires and their lackeys. Examples of how this works is the British Labour government’s ban on ideological fellow traveler Hasan Piker for his criticism of Israel or the high priests of human rights in the Biden administration serving as accomplices in the Gaza genocide.
On the other side are the revisionist powers of CRINK — China, Russia, Iran and North Korean — who assert the primacy of the state over money and exercise power openly. As civilizational powers, CRINK nations support a pluralistic world order governed by realpolitik, in contrast to the liberal democracies who declare all nations outside of its institutions (NATO, IMF, etc) as illegitimate and thus fair targets for economic and military violence. For this reason, the hard core of CRINK often finds fair weather friends among the numerous middle and small powers who would prefer to pursue their own national interests over Washingtons, such as Turkey. Multipolarity in action.
A direct war between these two competing forms of geopolitics is fait accompli. In the last few years, we have seen this clash take on kinetic forms — Russia-Ukraine, US-Israel and Iran — as well as economic clashes, such as the trade war with China.
Most neutral observers will conclude that the Ukraine war (especially the failure of economic sanctions against Russia) and the US trade war with China represent strategic defeats for Pax Judaica. While disappointing, the rulers of the West believe they can handle this.
What is unacceptable, however, is the situation Donald Trump has left in Iran. The demonstration by the Iranians in the Strait of Hormuz, along with the obliteration of American military bases throughout the Middle East, has left the mothership — Israel — in one of the worst security positions in its history. Over a decade of horse trading with the Gulf Arabs, hoping to bribe them into signing the Abraham Accords, is now in jeopardy as Iran emerges from the war a geopolitical power. If the leaked details of the Iran negotiated settlement are accurate, and Donald Trump signs off, Iran will come away the new masters of West Asia.
Credit where credit is due. The will power and rediscovered unity of the Iranian people, produced by American and Israeli atrocities, as well as their ability to improvise and adapt in terrible conditions won them the day. Yet, CRINK is also an important component of this story, as China and Russia provided crucial satellite intelligence, weapons and technology that Iran used to expose American and Israeli forces as paper tigers and land devastating blows inside Gulf states to punish their collaborators.
This relationship now appears to be altering the balance of Israel’s war in Lebanon. Entering the war, Israel had every reason to believe it could finally eliminate Hezbollah once and for all. These hopes have been dashed in the last three months, with Hezbollah’s full integration with the IRGC command and control structure. Most importantly, Hezbollah has mysteriously obtained the latest in Russian FPV and fiber optic drone technology — either directly from Russia or through an Iranian intermediary — and is inflicting massive casualties on vulnerable advancing Israeli troops and their vehicles, reducing the Israelis to erratic air strikes against random civilians in Beirut in frustration. The strategic initiative has been recouped by Hezbollah, and now the Shia group is setting the terms for any ceasefire , refusing to allow the IDF to consolidate an inch of Lebanese land.
The role of Russia and China, as well as more neutral periphery powers like Pakistan and Turkey, as background players undermining the US-Israeli effort cannot be underestimated. The Trump administration’s plan to blockade the blockade on Hormuz and place Iran under siege has been thwarted by Russia and Turkey opening up land and sea corridors for them to obtain weapons and resources through the Caspian sea and overland routes in Central Asia. Trump has gone so far as to threaten Oman, the neutral Switzerland of the region, for their willingness to engage in talks with Iran on the future management of the Strait of Hormuz.
As the Jewish Neo-Cons predicted, Russia’s entry into Ukraine and now Iran’s potential victory are emboldening more nations, including NATO treaty allies like Turkey, to pursue their own interests regardless of what Israeli cabal behind Trump thinks. The initial plan from the Mossad and CIA to topple the Iranian regime with an armed Kurd uprising was allegedly thwarted last minute by Turkey, who asserted itself against America and promised to respond to any attempt to militarize the Kurds.
On the nuclear front, Russia is actively aiding and deepening Iran’s access to nuclear capabilities by signing a deal to construct eight new power plants. Moscow is also handsomely profiting from the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, with oil revenues up 40% , partially due to enemies like Britain being forced to buy Russian diesel and jet fuel at a markup to avoid a crisis. China, which has its own bilateral agreement with Iran, is allowed to use the Strait of Hormuz at its leisure, which defeats any incentive to follow America’s sole contingency plan of begging China to get it reopened.
The rising revisionist powers have thus paralyzed the warmongers in Washington and Israel, developing ways to beat their sanctions, match their intelligence capabilities, and most importantly, conduct warfare on a shoestring budget. Perhaps the most alarming takeaway from this war for Washington is the ability of new weapons, often built from parts available on the internet, to grind down stockpiles of gold-plated, difficult to replace munitions and platforms provided by America’s corrupt for-profit military industrial base. Iran’s latest innovation, to inflict pain on the attacking Zionist liberal plutocracies in their homes through strategic denial of vital trade hubs, grants the once cornered nation a new form of escalatory dominance. On Iran, USrael has no choice but to do what Trump does with his many failed businesses: declare bankruptcy and go back to the drawing board.
The intelligent response to the reality of the situation is for the United States to manage its decline and prepare for a world of mutually beneficial bilateral partnerships instead of vassals corralled for the convenience of Wall Street. The problem is that this is not possible, as the United States — along with other “first world” liberal plutocracies — has lost much of its historic ability to build or innovate. The industrial base that won World War II and the state directed Research and Development complex that won the Cold War has been replaced with data center ponzi schemes and stock buybacks. Gentile Neo-Conservative intellectual Christopher Caldwell portrays Britain positively for consensually reducing its imperial scope to avoid overextension, while noting that America is doing the opposite. If America was run for the benefit of Americans, it could take half of its chips home and retire to rule the Western Hemisphere.
But all of Washington’s latest maneuvers suggest that delusions of trying to sever the Gordian Knot instead have taken hold in the State Department, where non-Zionist voices of reason like Joe Kent, Tulsi Gabbard, and others have either been forced out of the conversation or had their roles minimized.
Three new developments point to Washington’s willingness to plunge the world into war.
The first is the recent decision to provide an additional $9 billion dollars of aid to Ukraine, certain to be signed by Trump despite the press’ baseless Russiagate intrigue, so that Kiev can hire more mercenaries and obtain weapons so they can continue the war in perpetuity. This is on top of the European Union/NATO’s $105 billion dollar cash injection into the imploded Ukrainian economy and military passed in April.
The second development is Washington’s year-long campaign to force Europe to transition into a war economy in order to stage a conflict with Russia when the time is right.
NATO military planners are preparing to attack Russia by 2030. According to leaked plans, American-ruled Europe will draft its young men and surge nearly a million troops to Russia’s borders. NATO generals have begun meeting with movie producers in Hollywood, Britain, Germany and France to produce propaganda films and TV shows designed to whet the nervous Western European public’s appetite for bloodshed through manufactured jingoism.
A parallel development is occurring in Washington’s main Pacific territories, Japan and South Korea, who are remilitarizing at a breakneck speed in preparation for a potential war with China.
The third development, likely to be deployed against both Russia and Iran, is the America’s attempt to transform Armenia into the next Ukraine.
Last February, JD Vance concluded a $9 billion dollar investment in Armenia’s nuclear power. Also inked was a contract to provide American weapons to the country.
Most importantly, the US is offering Armenia, a close Russian ally since the 19th century, membership in the European Union in exchange for breaking off all ties to Moscow. Just as with the Ukraine, the prospect of the European Union taking on yet another mouth to feed is remote, yet Brussels and Washington are still cynically dangling the prospect before the Armenians. Through a highly developed network of foreign NGOs, whose financial and operational inner workings are treated like a guarded state secret in Armenia, the country’s youth is being reprogramed in an anti-Russian, pro-US direction.
The Kremlin is already foreseeing another Ukraine-style crisis on its Caucasian flank. Vladimir Putin has threatened to sanction Armenia if it continues down its pro-American, pro-NATO path. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who is handled by Deputy CIA Director David Cohen, has Washington engineering his re-election bid in two days. This election has not garnered much attention, but could be pivotal in producing yet another major world conflict.
Additionally, an American foothold in Armenia could provide new options for attempting to de-stabilize Iran, another long term ally of the Armenian people.
All things considered, it’s clear that the American empire will not follow the path of Britain or the Soviet Union and go quietly. Without a drastic change in world-history, Europe is on track for yet another exterminatory war that could also spill over into Asia. Desperate and deranged operatives in Washington seem to be drawing up plans without nuclear weapons in mind. The inmates aren’t in charge of the asylum, they are in charge of major European and Asian armies, and they are determined to crash them into Russia and China out of nihilistic spite as they leave the world stage.
