Unforeseeable consequences of Iranian resistance

Thierry Meyssan, in fact, published another article that should have us all, and in peculiar those ruling our country, thought. He should, but of course he won't. The rulers are just puppets doing alien commands, and society is totally stupid. But what is it? To learn from observing what is presently happening in the Arabian Peninsula. Like our country, the countries there were convinced that American bases and the presence of American troops would guarantee their safety. It turned out to be the opposite! Iran treated them as aggressors on an equal footing with the US and Israel and attacked not only American bases, but besides another targets. If that's not enough, it turns out the U.S. can't only defend themselves, they're not going to defend their vassals yet. The arms that these countries have spent billions of dollars on are completely ineffective and cannot even deal with primitive Iranian drones. It turned out that the celebrated F-35, which for an hr of flight request 30(!) hours of inspections, can be shot down by old anti-aircraft defenses!! A long time ago prof. Mearsheimer called what the USA produces, a "butic" weapon – an impressive, expensive, but impractical and unusable. This ineffectiveness first came to light in Ukraine, now in a clash with Iran. Billions that we throw on this crap are money thrown in the mud!!!

Meyssan besides comments on China's change of strategy. Well, in a conflict with the US, which China considers inevitable, they intend to follow Iran's lead and mark American bases in Asian countries. Russia hasn't said anything about it yet, but 1 can be certain it will do the same. Besides, Russia has never hidden that Redzkovo is on the list of targets that will be attacked first. This is our security. Virtually all military presence in our country is simply a threat to us!! We're a lightning rod to pull Russian lightning and thus defend the US. Unfortunately, to the vast majority of citizens of our country, Russia is not a threat to us! We are the threat to Russia due to the fact that we are burning ourselves to war with it and are willing to usage our territory to attack it. We dream of Chestnut and saber, but we don't realize that today's wars are different. Russian officials have already said Europe many times: we will not fight you; we will destruct you. Evacuation backpacks are an example of a complete misunderstanding of today's war!! There will be nowhere to evacuate!! For those who do not evaporate in a atomic detonation and will be in terrible torment slow and without any aid to die (this is the right word!!) for radiation sickness, any means will be needed to guarantee a fast and painless death. And you don't request backpacks to evacuate to that world! It must be brutally honest to say!!!

But let's get to the Meyssan article.

Unforeseeable consequences of Iranian resistance

author: Thierry Meyssan

Based on Israel and the United States' illegal attack on their country, The Iranians forced the “paper tiger” to uncover their actual nature. In just a fewer days, they showed that the advanced and costly weapon of the Pentagon was not suitable for their very cost-effective way of conducting war. They have disorganized the global oil market, which is the basis of the US dollar. Finally, they have created a fresh model, which all opponents of Anglo-Saxon domination are considering. This has already prompted China to complete a review of defence plans in the event of a US attack in the Taiwan area.

The war on Iran is no different. For the first time, it does not substance what targets will be destroyed. Major players focus on the economical consequences of their actions. This experience revolutionizes the way war is waged and has already prompted the Chinese People's Liberation Army to revise its war plans.

Drone Shahed costs about $35,000. To shoot it down, the United States must launch 2 Patriot missiles worth $3.3 million each. If they let the Shahed drone to hit the target—any—it will be taken as evidence that they are incapable to defend themselves or cannot defend their allies. By firing a drone, Iran is assured that it will force the United States to spend 6.6 million dollars, or about 188 times their rate.

The United States has a Merops drone system. However, they have been in the investigating phase in Ukraine for a year and a half. This strategy was besides installed at the borders of Poland and Romania. The Pentagon has decided to retreat these systems from the east NATO front to transport them to the Persian Gulf.

"We have received a request for circumstantial protection support from the United States" from Iranian drone systems," stated Volodymyr Zelenski on 12 March. Immediately Ukrainian officers went to the Persian Gulf.

In addition, the United States has been investigating drone lasers for years. It is an highly economical solution, but so far it is not known how to usage this weapon, and even more so how to produce it serially. It'll be many years before the Pentagon uses it on the battlefield.

Besides, Patriot's rocket supplies are melting in the eyes. Although the Pentagon keeps secret information about available supplies, it strips off all another fronts to deliver Patriot missiles to the mediate East. It is only known that the American military-industrial complex is incapable to produce more than 700 units per year, while Iran has already fired respective 1000 Shahed drones.

At this point, we focus solely on operations to destruct Shahed drones. The defence of the United States and Israel against long-range missiles is not only a financial issue, but also, in the very short term, the exhaustion of stocks of THAAD interceptors, which can be produced only about 10 per week [1].

In any event, the United States officially spent $5.6 billion on ammunition during the first 2 days of its illegal war against Iran [2]. This amount increased to $11.3 billion, as stated by the Pentagon on March 10 before Congress. Given the 1444 killed Iranians (according to the Iranian Ministry of wellness data of March 12 [3]), this gives an ratio of about $8 million per human life!!! The most costly war in history.

In comparison, the Iranians experienced 2 large traumatic events: planet War I – which consumed more casualties in Iran than in Germany and France – caused the deaths of about 6 million people. The war imposed by Iraq consumed the lives of at least 500,000 Iranians. So it can be understood that the present fewer 100 deaths will not break this country.

Another Iranian innovation is Tehran's reaction to its neighbours. Based on global law and statements by Israeli and American leaders, Iran attacked US military bases in the Persian Gulf and the mediate East. I am not talking about the attacks of Lebanese Hezbollah (Party of God) and Iraqi Saraya Awliya al-Dam (Brigada of Blood Guards), but only about Iranian attacks.

The surprise was that Iran reminded the West of Resolution 3314 (XXIX) of 14 December 1974 [4]. Adopted without vote by the UN General Assembly, it clarifies the concept of aggression to which the San Francisco Charter refers. The global press, dominated by the Anglo-Saxons, found that global law prohibits entry into another country. It was on the basis of this pre-established presumption that the General Assembly condemned the Russian military operation in Ukraine. Iran brought this forgotten text back to life.

This text allows for the usage of force to assist "nations subject to colonial or racist regimes", as is the case with Russian aid to the republics of Donbas (Article 7). It prohibits not only the aggression of Israel and the United States against Iran, but besides the 3rd countries in which the Israeli or American military bases active in this aggression are located (Article 3), taking akin action. It follows that Iran has the right to retaliation in the Gulf and Levant States.

We announcement that these countries are confused in the face of the Iranian response, and their economy is paralyzed. Meanwhile, these countries, mainly Gulf countries, are crucial oil producers. So they effort to separate themselves from Israel and the United States, which has kept them safe so far, and present they are liable for their misfortunes. If their quest for independency led them to sale oil not in US dollars, but in another currencies, the value of the dollar would break. It is not guaranteed by the GDP of the United States, but by the global marketplace for hydrocarbons. During the kidnapping of president Nicolás Maduro, we stressed that the United States did not search to take over the vast oil reserves of this country, but to reconstruct oil trade in dollars. What has succeeded in Venezuela may neglect in the mediate East and origin the end of the United States to begin.

What is presently happening in the mediate East is abruptly an inspiration for all states that argue the dominance of the United States. Let's start with China.

Beijing is preparing to conflict with the United States and Japan in the Taiwan Region dispute. It should be recalled that China has no intention of invading this island, but all effort to grant its independency is considered an act of aggression. From their point of view, Chang Kaj-szek had no right to secession, and Taiwan remains a Chinese region. Kuomintang, a organization that is the heiress of Chang Kaj-sheka, agrees with this position; only representing a number of the Progressive Democratic organization (PDP) of president Lai Ching-te seeks independence. This issue arises solely due to the fact that it is addressed by the United States.

Beijing has just realised that global law entitles it, in the event of aggression from the United States, to carry out retaliation on American military bases in the Asia-Pacific region. In a flash, the Chinese People's Liberation Army reviewed all its plans [5]. She diverted her missiles not to Taiwan, but to 24 U.S. military bases in the region.

This change is followed by all countries in which US military bases are located, and which now anticipate the problems facing the Gulf and Levant countries. No uncertainty they will shortly gotta reconsider their presence.

In addition to the Iranian conflict, it seems present that Iran's model of opposition is being imposed on everyone who anticipates an armed conflict with Washington and revolutionizes the way we understood the balance of forces.

It should be understood that the United States has been manipulated by its own propaganda. They were convinced that the events that followed the collapse of Ayandeh's bank claimed more than 40,000 casualties for which the Watch Towers of the Revolution were responsible. This is, of course, completely untrue. Most of the victims were the consequence of Daesh attacks and panic caused by snipers placed on roofs who killed both demonstrators and police officers. As regards their actual number, it is at least six times lower.

Similarly, they were convinced that all these demonstrators were “adversaries of the regime”, recognising that those who demanded the return of their bank deposits had to be surely opponents of Ayatollah Ali Chamenei. In this way they equalized protesters for economical reasons, those who opposed spiritual totalitarianism, and those who wanted governments like Western ones. Today, they discover that you can be ruined by the banking system, resent Mullahs, be fascinated by American tv series broadcast in Persian by any forty western tv channels, and inactive defend your country.

This mistake in the assessment of the situation, comparable to the 1 that prompted the U.S. to organize the departure of Reza Pahlevi's chess and the return of the imam Ruhollah Chomeini, now leads them to a military defeat and possibly even to a fall.
