I repeat the history that gets lost in the news, that Palestine has precipitated a major defeat upon the White Empire. We are witnessing a retreat turned into a rout. The Whites have lost two naval battles in the Red Sea, all of their forward bases in Persian Gulf, and the less-White members of their coalition are effectively on their own. If I may return to a Clausewitzian definition of war, "War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will... To secure that object we must render the enemy powerless; and that, in theory, is the true aim of warfare." The White Empire cannot compel Iran, Yemen, or Palestine to do their will and, in practice, that is a true loss in war.

War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will... Attached to force are certain self-imposed, imperceptible limitations hardly worth mentioning, known as international law [lol] and custom, but they scarcely weaken it. Force—that is, physical force, for moral force has no existence save as expressed in the state and the law—is thus the means of war; to impose our will on the enemy is its object. To secure that object we must render the enemy powerless; and that, in theory, is the true aim of warfare.

The only thing that prevents the Empire from understanding its failure to win against Hamas and Hezbollah (a W for the guerrilla army, according to Kissinger) and its direct losses to Yemen and Iran is also, unfortunately Clausewitzian logic. Because Clausewitz was European and said that only Whites could be military geniuses. Their theory literally cannot process what's happening. Clausewitz said,

The latter [military genius] depends on the general intellectual development of a given society. In any primitive, warlike race, the warrior spirit is far more common than among civilized peoples. It is possessed by almost every warrior: but in civilized societies only necessity will stimulate it in the people as a whole, since they lack the natural disposition for it. On the other hand, we will never find a savage who is a truly great commander, and very rarely one who would be considered a military genius, since this requires a degree of intellectual powers beyond anything that a primitive people can develop.

I include this not to dunk on Clausewitz, this theory was practical enough across 500 years of colonialism. Clause is an honest representative of Whites, drunk on their hubris because, fair enough, lack of martial evidence. But today, commanders like Soleimani, Sinwar, Nasrallah, Khamenei, and al-Houthi are obviously military geniuses, and commandeers like Trump are oblivious idiots who wouldn't know Clausewitz from Santa Claus. So let's apply Clausewitz where it wasn't intended, non-White on White violence.

Clausewitz said—about rendering an enemy powerless, ie winning—that "Wearing down the enemy in a conflict means using the duration of
the war to bring about a gradual exhaustion of his physical and moral
resistance." It is that moral component we will discuss here, following Will Schryver, wherein he says war is a moral argument. These are not morals as in ethics, but, "the skill of the commander, the experience and courage of the troops, and their patriotic spirit." That is what we shall discuss here. As in, how much are the troops, who Trump himself has addressed as suckers and losers, feeling it?

That sorta answers my question. Trump has never served in the military beyond playing dress-up and doesn't understand strategy beyond blowing stuff up. US troops only have experience killing civilians and people without air defenses; the glass courage of a gang of bullied bullies. And what patriotic spirit? They're far from home, dying for Jeffrey Epstein's ghost. Morale is obviously down in the dumps, as you can see from the grunts trying to kill themselves and the generals falling on their pens and resigning.

For example, the NYTimes underreports that 80 war criminals find even this too much of a criminal enterprise. That's how much of the generals and flag officers have been culled. About 10%, or a literal decimation. This is not just their drunk administrator Hegseth going on a bender, this is long-worked policy. The US is planning to cut 20% of its total generals/flag officers by 2027 (10 U.S.C. §526). In the middle of World War III.

I'm not saying that the American military is necessarily improved by these officers. They are just terrorists with epaulets and nothing more. And if you're going to actually change the beast, I suppose you need a purge. As fictional Hitler said in Downfall, I should have purged all of them! Like Stalin! However, the fact that this happening in the middle of a war has the practical effect of flag-bearers throwing down their flags and running off. As they would do during a rout.

And make no mistake, this is what America is doing. They cleared the Fifth Fleet Base haphazardly, leaving its terrorist troops begging for soap and support when they got home, on their own dime, often. They keep rotating aircraft carrier troops in and out as they near mutiny. And as I write this, people are saying America might go back to war because they're evacuating people. But who even does this? Retreat before even joining the battle? This is not even a retreat anymore, which involves being in the field, this is a rout, where they're just scrambling to get out. This is not what they say but precisely what it looks like. A retreat turned into a rout. All the fools that paid the Whites protection-money—the Saudis, the Emiratis—are discovering that war is a racket and they're not members of the White mafia at all.

Can you imagine the morale in this situation, all around? The American troops know they're led by idiots and the least idiotic of their leaders have been culled. Far from killing people in their homes, as they're used to, these troops are getting killed in their bunks, without even getting to Iran. American troops are meaningless sheep in wolves clothing, but the morale must be dismal because they know this now. And then consider the morale among the Saudis, who are a pathetic proxy, or the Yemenis they corrupted, who are the even more pathetic proxy of a proxy.

We've discussed the physical factors here (weapons, oil, ships) but it is these moral factors that are predominant, according to Clausewitz. He said, "One might say that the physical seem little more than the wooden hilt, while the moral factors are the precious metal, the real weapon, the finely-honed blade." So compare the moral factors of men like those in Yemen, who are fighting against their own and Palestine's genocide in the name of God. Same for Iran, Palestine, and all around. Compare that to American troops who are fighting for what? They're a bunch of child-killers working for pedophiles and they know it. And this is no longer just what they're killing for, it's what they're dying for, which these cowards certainly feel much more than the loss of their souls, in hock to the Great Satan already. War comes down to people at some point, and what are these people even fighting for? The money ruling America might back this war up to the hilt, but the moral point of the blade is hopelessly dull.
