  • Can Syria Become Another Vietnam For The Us And Russia?

    Iran is the problem.

    a) Russian population ~145M but with autocracy, missiles and oil, a world power.
    b) Iran + Iraq + Syria + Lebanon + Yemen = ~150M. But with autocracy, missiles and oil a world power.

    Iran is recreating the persian empire under arab rather than persian culture as the ottoman declined. Just as Russia created its empire by conquest of the mongolian empire as it declined.

    The purpose of Vietnam was proxy for war with China, since the USA failed to finish the conquest of communist china during the second world war.

    The purpose of the cold war was a proxy for war with russia, since the USA failed to finish the conquest of communist russia during the second world war.

    The purpose of syria is a proxy for the war with Iran, since the USA failed to finish the conquest of islamism during the gulf wars.

    The question is only whether the USA has the economic and cultural reserves itself to survive the defeat of iran.

    My expectation is that the arabs are sufficiently inferior as a genetic, cultural, and institutional system, and that the Persians have been sufficiently decimated, that the transformation of Iran will not follow the pattern of the more advanced civilizations of russia and china.

    Semitic Abrahamism’s ‘communism’ was economic and ideological, where the combination of french abrahamic postmodernism and arab abrahamic islamism are purely religious systems that do not need to provide empirical results.

    Since these strategies do not ask for direct redistribution from the middle and upper classes, but slowly appropriate culture and institutions, it is hard to see how they will not succeed in conquest by immigration.

    So it’s not a question of whether syria will become another vietnam, but whether it is worth it or not to take the battle home to Iran before she becomes another Russia or China and we cannot fight her except by proxy.

    Unlike previous ‘battles of modernization’ in which the west has tried to drag primitive cultures into modernity (consumer capitalism), it is not clear that americans will take the battle to Iran until the discussion is put in such clear terms: that this is just the continuation of the battle against Abrahamism in byzantine/syrian-christian, jewish-communist, and islamic forms. And that we have been fighting this battle for over 2000 years. And that until 1800 we were losing that battle.

    Worse, while Russia – as a low trust polity – is Iran’s ally, it appears irrational for russia to advance Iran’s interests given that so much of Russia’s resources are in muslim regions of the former soviet empire. And that russia would have a very hard time competing against a restored and expansionist Iranian Empire on her southern border.

    Strategically Russia’s intersets are with Germany, not with Iran or China. But Americans lost that opportunity. So perhaps it is in the west’s interest to allow the rise of iran, and withdraw the USA from continental affairs, so that russia’s only option is to ally with europe.

    The alternative for Russia is incremental conquest and conversion.

    There is no economic or strategic value to west, russia, or east of the islamic peoples.

    For all intents and purposes, once the oil is gone the middle east is just a hostile and alien sub-saharan africa.

    That’s my analysis and I’m pretty sure around the globe, in every general staff, that this is the same thought OTHER than Russians, who are still a little bit ‘off’ in their desire for a restoration.

    It takes 500M people to be a world power in economics. The anglos have about that many. The europeans about that many. The muslims like the chinese have more than a billion, and no concern for economics. the chinese have more than a billion totally homogenous and do care about economics. The west cares most about economics -too much, but is no longer homogenous.

    That last paragraph is worth pondering for a few years.

    Launch an investigation into Israel’s interference in the election. What about George Soros’ interference in the election? Launch a treason investigation against hillary clinton. If we cannot make positive progress then break it all to pieces.

    THE TEST OF ‘DIVINE RIGHT’ (MARKET FOR RULE)

    Ely Harman

    The problem is that rule by divine right is a DESCRIPTIVE theory and not a PRESCRIPTIVE theory.

    So yeah, if the sovereign can at once awe and inspire loyalty, then don’t challenge him. But if not, there is no reason not to.

    You cannot know whether or not he has the divine mandate unless you put it to the test. The gods will show their mind if they are offered a choice.

    Even a bad king may be a punishment for worse subjects, rather than merely a usurper whose fall shows the emptiness of his pretensions. But only the test can reveal the difference.

    (Curt: King of the Hill is a market process.)

    THE MONARCHY AS A TRADE

    By Lorenz Fiorenza

    Monarchies are a family. Family is the foundation of social organization.

    As a rule, one has more investment in their direct family than their extended kin. Combine state with family and the monarch should be very, very invested in the well-being of the state.

    Families -usually- practice consistent trades. A working class family teaches their sons to be mechanics*, bougie family focuses on their jeweler business*, a monarchical family focuses on the administration and decorum of the nation*. ***or they cease to be a family and are erased from history.

    You make a profitable trade out of rule and rulers are very likely to make a multi-generational business out of it.

    If you fail, you get the Romanov solution.

    THERE IS ONLY ONE METHOD OF OPTING-IN

    by Lorenz Fiorenza

    —“We only opt-in through participation in the militia and the revolution. The system can’t be reformed. If the militia is a sword that forges itself, then it is up to the discretion of the militia to choose what leader they give their sword to. It is a gamble and there is no 100% likelihood of benevolence- Washington could have contracted syphilis and gone mad despite pure intent. The question is, will a world of monarchies be inevitable due to the long-term institutions needed for managing the domestication and transcendence of man?”—

  • The ukrainians assume that if they give up the territory the russians will keep

    The ukrainians assume that if they give up the territory the russians will keep pushing to cut them off from the black sea (probably true) and unite russia with Transnistria. The russians have already taken ukrainian oil deposits in the black sea. They’ve already taken Crimea. They’ve already taken the donbas. They are just waiting for a period of geopolitical opportunity under which they can solidify their gains.

    By this act of aggression russia has broken the postwar consensus and ended the prohibition on involuntary changes in borders – which was the whole reason for the world wars.

    Putin repeatedly threatened all of eastern europe with reoccupation during 2014, and caused nato to re-pivot toward russia, after having nearly denuded nato in europe. There were only 60k total US personnel in all of europe. So this ‘surrounding russia’ stuff from the west’s perspective was ‘russia will unite with germany and we will achieve our long term goals if we can get russia to modernize her government and economy.’ (whch was Gorbachev’s position.)

    The western perspective is that the sanctions against russia were serious enough and threat threat of being cut off from the world financial system enough of a death sentence, that this contained russian reassertion.

    Now, this does not eliminate the fact that russia was right against the chechens. And that russia was right about serbia. and that russia was right about all the islamic countries. Or that the west is constantly wrong.

    This does not eliminate the fact that NATO did not add russia immediately to is membership when putin asked – or that westerners are too fucking stupid to understand russians well enough to just fucking do it. (americans are just too fucking stupid for words).

    This does not eliminate the fact that putin’s attack on populism (democracy) is an attack on hedonism in an effort do defend the family and the nation from regression. And that he is right and the west is wrong and suicidal.

    The problem is the international principle that “no agreement with russia is worth the paper it’s printed on” holds. And so 2014 fucked up the entire world order.

    In other words, putin fucked up. he could have done what was needed and he fucked up. He was the strongest most powerful man in the world and he ‘flinched’.

    Makes me so mad. Roman is out training guys in the woods to fight for their country. They pay money to be trained. They buy their own equipment. They pack together in trains and cars to drive to the front. They creep around in dirt in a war zone and kill invaders with knives in the night. They hold the airport in brutal close combat. They fight and die for their country. Because they want to be free of corruption. And some stupid shit anglo attributes his behavior to global politics….

    RUSSIA AND THE FAMILY OVER THE INDIVIDUAL

    —“Is “utopia” to be found in something close to the Russian model but with a developed middle class, meaning combining the Russian model with European. And does Eastern-Europe (Poland, Ukraine, etc.) fit those criteria?”—

    Russia has preserved the family, and the west has heralded the individual. Russia has restored the military to the top of the order. The west has the academy (church) at the top of the order. Russia has high corruption for money, America has high corruption for (church) virtue signaling and money.

    How do you fix both? Well, you simply stop playing dishonest games and institute in your constitution that which is important: familiy, and you institutionalize the commons in the service of the family and individuals can benefit only so long as they do not diminish the sacredness of the family. And that’s pretty easy to do. You just have to write it into the law. I can do that.
