Iran-the-Unready
Iran-the-Unready
Paul Craig Roberts
Like all opponents of Washington and Israel, Iran proved itself unready. Muslims never seize the initiative. They sit on their butts until they are decapitated. Instead of taking Israel out, Iran suffered a serious attack and then feebly retaliated. Wars are not won by retaliation.
The mystery is why was Iran unready? Iran has had years of US hostility dating from the Carter years and decades of observing Washington carry out the Zionist neoconservatives program of eliminating 7 Muslin countries. Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Lebanon, with the target now on Iran and Saudi Arabia awaiting in the wings.
Why was Putin unready? Despite the warning of the US using a color revolution in Georgia to invade South Ossetia, Putin was caught off guard by Washington’s overthrow of the Ukrainian government and installation of a Washington puppet. For eight years Putin watched the buildup of a large Ukrainian army and failed to build one of his own. The Russians, Muslims, and Chinese seem incapable of understanding the Wolfowitz doctrine of Washington’s hegemony, or are they simply unable to face reality?
The Fars News Agency says Iran is planning to attack US bases in the Middle East in response to the Israeli attack, preferring to call Israel’s declaration of war an “attack.” Planning? So again the pathetic Iranians announce in advance something they are planning to do so that Washington and Israel know in advance and are prepared to frustrate the attack. If Iran had been ready, the US bases would already have been destroyed.
The American public never learns either. The American people have been fed a constant diet of war propaganda against Iran for many hears going back to the Carter years in the 1970s when Iranians overthrew the American puppet ruler, the Shah of Iran, and established their revolution, thus depriving the US and the British of control over Iran’s oil. 9/11, an inside job that Washington blamed on Muslims in order to launch wars against seven countries, served to legitimize Washington’s 21st century wars in the Middle East.
Israel has taken advantage of Washington’s alignment of Americans with Israel’s interest and has been for years in the forefront of encouraging war between the US and Iran for Israel’s gain.
Unlike the attack on Russia’s strategic forces, President Trump cannot claim he was uninformed. The Jerusalem Post reports that an Israeli government official told the Post that “There was full and complete coordination with the Americans.” https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-857590
In plain language Washington was involved and has jointly with Israel declared war on Iran.
In his effort to protect US bases in the region from Iranian attack, assuming Iran still has the means and has the will to go with the means, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement, “Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.”
George Orwell was right in predicting how words would come to mean their opposite. War is peace. And now US Secretary of State Rubio has turned “full and complete coordination with the Americans” into America’s non-involvement.
As Washington was fully involved, why did Washington not tell Israel: “NO! Trump is trying to get out of one war, not be dragged into another by Israel.”
Obviously, Washington or whoever Washington’s master is–in this case it seems to be Israel–wanted war.
This was obvious from the beginning of Trump’s “negotiations” with Iran. Trump’s definition as determined by his use of “negotiations” is another example of words being turned into their opposite. By negotiation, Trump means “complying with Washington’s demands.”
Trump says that Iran is responsible for the Israeli/Washington attack, because Iran was recalcitrant and despite Trump giving Iran “chance after chance” to agree with Trump’s demands, failed to sign Trump’s “deal.” https://www.rt.com/news/619171-trump-gave-iran-chance-post-israeli-strikes/
In this sentence Trump shows the essence of his view of negotiation: “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.” Apparently, Trump means “the Persian Empire.”
So, failing to comply with Washington or Israel means war and destruction, or surrender after sufficient punishment.
Despite this obvious fact, Putin is negotiating over Ukraine. How reckless will the next attack on Putin-the-Unready be?

Paul Craig Roberts
My Life-Long Experience Is that the Worst Thing You Can Do for Your Own Interest is to Tell the Truth. Judging by the narratives rolled out for us dumbshit Americans, we are regarded as totally stupid by the Democrats, Republicans, CIA, FBI and rest of the ruling establishment and their media whores.
Americans have been slow to learn that governments at every level, including their property owners association, cannot be trusted any more than the local monopoly, the local polluter, financial shysters, or their Big Pharma-indoctrinated doctor. Americans have fallen for every lie fed to them: the “Civil War,” WW I, WW II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the lies about Gaddafi and Libya, the lies about “Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction,” “Assad’s use of chemical weapons,” “Iranian nukes,” “Russia’s invasion of Georgia,” “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.” “Russia’s planned invasion of Europe,” 9/11, “Muslim terrorists,” Palestinian terrorists, “the Covid vax is safe and effective,” the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump, Jan 6 “insurrectionists” who were merely protesters against a stolen presidential election. The lies that the American people have swallowed hook, line, and sinker would fill up many volumes of books. Americans are so lost in their patriotism that it makes them stupid. Patriotism can be used to support every lie.
Despite President Trump’s intentions, the lie narratives have not stopped and continue to roll out. Which of the many shall I choose? Shall I take the narrative that the riots against ICE are organized by China? This false narrative is so potent, it so fits existing anti-China narratives that even Kash Patel, head of the FBI, has taken it up. In response to concerns about possible Chinese influence in promoting the riots, Director Patel said, “the FBI is investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”
Think about this for a minute. The riots against the deportation of illegal residents are likely financed by George Soros and his network of NGOs and by American foundations such as Ford, Pew, and Rockefeller, and by USAID if the Democrat judiciary has succeeded in keeping USAID funded and in operation. If Chinese money is entering the coffers of the Democrat NGOs and liberal foundations that are financing the riots, we have a real China-gate on our hands, unlike the make-believe Russiagate hoax perpetuated by the CIA/FBI on the American people in the effort to cancel President Trump. A real China-gate makes it legitimate to arrest George Soros, Gov. Newsom, the participating liberal foundations, and many Democrat government officials for engaging in a conspiracy with the Chinese Communist Party to undermine America.
At the base of everything is THE LIBERAL/LEFT DEMOCRAT ATTACK ON AMERICA. When America goes down, the remainder of Western Civilization goes down. America is a poor representative of Western Civilization. American universities, having conducted for several generations relentless attacks on Western civilization, have succeeded in destroying the belief system that is the foundation of Western civilization. When a people lose their belief system, they no longer exist and neither does their civilization. Over the course of my lifetime, America has acquired many non-European ethnicities, which have established their own cultures–Spanish is now an official language in the US–elected their own ethnic representatives, and had their own ethnicities appointed judges whose views differ from those bequeathed to us by Blackstone’s Rights of Englishmen. Our law is being gradually eroded away from us. In its place we have a hierarchy of aristocratic race and gender legal privileges based on skin color and self-declared gender. Sixty years of discriminatory practices in university admission, employment, and hiring against white heterosexual men in America have established DEI as more powerful than the 14th Amenment’s requirement of equal protection under the law. Decades of American law schools teaching that the US Constitution is a racist document have destroyed the belief of the American legal profession in the validity of the US Constitution, Belief in the Constitution is so destroyed that President George W. Bush announced two decades ago that he could ignore the US Constitution and retain in prison American citizens on suspicion alone without due process. Obama, “American’s First Black President,” announced that he could execute US citizens on suspicion alone without due process, and he did.
I have always been puzzled that the dumbshit students who demanded that “Western Civ Has To Go” in the 1960s and 1970s were too stupid to understand that it had already gone. The dumbshits were protesting against something that was already on its death bed.
Will I be remembered as an originator of the supply-side policy that cured stagflation, and as a person who helped President Reagan end the Cold War (temporarily as it turned out), or will the Wikipedia lie machine control the narrative and demonize me as a “Russian agent/dupe,” and a “conspiracy theorist?” Our world is one in which facts are of no relevance. As facts themselves, along with math, science, English literature, and the English language are considered racist, acknowledgement of one’s contributions is unlikely unless the contributions are in the arena of advancing “diversity, equity, inclusion” (DEI) at the expense of merit and equal rights under the law.
I was wondering the other day if any history had been written correctly other than Harry Elmer Barnes’ history of World War I and David Irvings’ history of World War II. These histories are not part of the narrative. I would almost bet my life that no policymaker in the US government, or any Western government, has read either author.
So today we have Washington imposing its foreign policy decisions on Russia, Iran, and China. This is not an approach to foreign policy that is likely to have a hopeful outcome.
