It is easy, nay intentional, to think that the White Empire is more powerful than ever, amidst all the terror. But that's just the terrorism. What was once the most powerful land, sea, and air force on the planet has been reduced to luxury terrorism. America—as the latest capital of capital—cannot impose terms on anyone, all they can do is terminate children (and their own pawns). Remember what's buried in the news cycle, but what will rise again on historical judgement day.

America lost a major naval battle in the Red Sea to Yemen and had to sue for peace and retreat. Now they've lost a major land battle in the Ukraine to Russia, and—again—have to admit defeat. They have to come to terms with this. All the Empire's horses and all the Empire's men can't put this dumpster fire back together again.

I'll repeat myself because these big historical stories get buried under the nattering and distracting news. The White Empire lost a major naval battle in the Red Sea, to brave and steadfast Yemen. Then they lost a major land battle in the Ukraine, to industrially superior Russia. They're still talking about China, but that's a joke. This is not a major power anymore. They're only good for killing women and children.

Even in that context—the siege of Gaza—they still cannot impose terms on their enemies. Hamas et al—bless them—are still hitting. As many tanks and bombs as the Empire sends into Gaza, those bombs still get sent back and those tanks still burn. The Palestinian Resistance is still resistant, after the most brutal starvation siege since Leningrad. The human losses are immeasurable, but Empire still cannot impose political terms. They are winning the genocide and losing the war.

Clausewitz

For perspective, I've been reading Carl von Clausewitz and he says, “War is thus an act of force to compels our enemy to do our will.” He also says that “War is merely the continuation of policy by other means.” Note that war is not just killing people and terrorizing the global population. That is—if you can admit that colored people have feelings—just terrorism. Yes, unfortunately yes, America, via 'Israel' can continue to starve and kill civilians in Gaza, but they still cannot compel the enemy to do their will, which is the point of war. Hamas, PIJ, the PFLP et al still fire back and the IOF is run so ragged they're killing themselves at home.

Again, luxury terrorism is all that America is capable of now. It's fitting that they put Al Qaeda in power in Syria, they're getting the band back together, they're on a mission from Satan. Yes, the now openly sadistic empire can bomb defenseless civilians in Gaza and get the united Arab eunuchs to bow. They can press-gang Ukrainians into death marches to get their own press gang to say wow. But this advances their political interests how?

This is all just a lurid show of violence to scare people through the media, AKA terrorism. As the President of Colombia said, “They are telling us: look at our military power. What happens to Palestine can happen to any of you if you dare to make changes without our permission.” But people are still making changes! From Iran to Palestine to Russia to China, nobody is backing down. America has also tried to tariff everyone else into terror, but they're just being ignored.

This is hard to see through the tears that their constant terrorism rightly causes, but these many wrongs don't make a right. And I don't just mean that in a moral sense, though morality is self-interest in the long term. What I mean is that they cannot write history this way. All the news they're making will be overwritten by the lack of political gains to match their posturing. None of the bluster, none of the bullshit, none of the lies that are already risible in the present will not hold up in hindsight. What will be written is that America lost a counter-insurgency in Afghanistan, then naval supremacy to Yemen, then technological supremacy to Russia, and then moral supremacy to Palestine.

Machiavelli

Niccolo Machiavelli said you can rule by being loved or being feared, and Empire has completely given up on being loved. But the fear's not working! Again and again, if people fear you they come to terms with you, but neither Russia or Yemen or Palestine or Iran give a fuck. North Korea would also like to enter the chat but America has no bandwidth. The opposite of being loved is not being hated, it's being ignored, and that's what's happening to America now. Their enemies won't accept terms, and their allies get nothing but burned for their sycophancy, and look increasingly absurd.

Perhaps Trump pursued the only Machiavellian course. Machiavelli said, “since his being loved depends upon his subjects, while his being feared depends upon himself, a wise Prince should build on what is his own, and not on what rests with others. Only, as I have said, he must do his utmost to escape hatred.” However, the proof is in the blood pudding and it didn't work. America had to sue Yemen for peace and get nothing but the right to retreat, and it's the same with Russia. Same for Iran, same for Palestine, it's all tactical tantrums followed by strategic defeat. America can't even start its war with China without getting laughed off the map entirely. They made a final play for rule by fear, and ended up being hated everywhere, and, even worse, ignored.

I remind you that America is also tariffing everyone in the world, effectively blockading its own ports. Now they're left with a bunch of playing cards made in China that just cost them more. By sanctioning everyone in the world they effectively created a trade union against themselves, and that union is moving on, trading with each other. Now they have to occupy their own capital and batten down the hatches before stagflation tears them apart. America tried to set the terms for global war and trade, but have just gone on a tirade of genocide and self-harm. The Empire ends in murder-suicide, the classic American shooter story. It's hard to see this broader story in the news but that's on purpose. But wait for the dust to settle and you'll see. White Empire bit it long ago.
