They face a supreme chess player named Vladimir Putin, who, along with China’s Xi Ziping and India’s Modi, have only to lose from a wider war.
By Nick Stamatakis
As the West comes nearer to the realization that its global hegemony is ending, the desperate – and mostly incompetent and corrupt – Western leaders have reverted to assassinations of their opponents as a means to achieve exactly what? Assassinations can achieve none of their goals. Qatar PM said it best when asked: “How can mediation succeed when one side assassinates the negotiator?” (link here). It is noteworthy that just two days before the assassination by Israel of Hams leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, the “Assassination” concept was in full bloom in Western circles when Foreign Policy published a very interesting piece titled “Would the U.S. Consider Assassinating Putin?” So, as we start to analyze what will happen next, let’s keep this in mind: The West, in a state of panic and desperation, has no other avenue forward but to plan assassinations, hoping that a World War will relieve its huge economic problems and postpone the official announcement of its global defeat. Here are my major takeaways from the Tehran event:
- It was fully coordinated between Netanyahu and the DC establishment, and the reports that supposedly “Washington was left in the dark” have no credibility. Netanyahu spent a few days in the US this week and had the chance to speak to Congress and have meetings at all power levels.
- Israel acted in a completely illegal manner, totally against international law. Russia called an emergency meeting at the UN Security Council, publicly denouncing such behavior. Yes, the US will veto any practical measures taken against Israel. But at the same time, it will reinforce the image of isolation of both Israel and the US in the United Nations.
- Israel, on the surface, acted against its interests – who can claim that war benefits any country? Yet, this is exactly what insane Bibi Netanyahu is doing, apparently assisted by the Zionist leadership of the West.
There is no way for Israel to win in any wider military conflict in the Middle East. Here is why:
- The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), a non-professional army, are already exhausted from the war in Gaza and are weakened by numerous internal conflicts. Just last week, a huge trial against some officers was made public, referring to abhorrent tortures of Palestinian prisoners. It is a truly horrible situation (warning – it’s graphic!)
- Israel is divided internally, although the Zionists in government surround Netanyahu with solid support. The people have lost faith in the government and we already know that hundreds of thousands have abandoned the country for various destinations in Europe and America. For example, we have already reported substantial Israeli real estate purchases in Cyprus and Greece. The Israeli Army is practically opposing the political leadership on the war in Gaza: “Hamas is an idea, we cannot defeat an idea”, they say…
- Russia and Iran have transferred fairly advanced missile technology to the Huthis and Hezbollah. The Huthis have already won their part of the war: 1) More than 80% of the Red Sea / Suez Canal traffic is lost. 2) The Western warships have largely failed to suppress their drones and missiles – while recently, they hit Tel Aviv.
- Hezbollah hides hundreds of thousands of missiles in tunnels in Mount Lebanon. Most people do not realize Mount Lebanon is among the tallest in the Mediterranean (over 10,000 ft tall – Lebanon, Cyprus, Crete, and Sicily are unique places where someone can go skiing and swimming in the same 8 hours or less!!) Well-hidden missiles, especially if they include some advanced hypersonic among them, are impossible to defeat.
The wider geopolitical picture also supports that Israel cannot win:
- China, just in the last few days, achieved a major coup: It managed to unite all Palestinian factions in one “government” (including Hamas and PLO), and it plans to introduce them to full-member status at the U.N. assembly next month.
- Russia is mediating a peaceful rapprochement between Syrian President Assad and Turkish President Erdogan, with some success so far. If this concludes, it will mean Israel will lose much of the oil it now gets through Turkey (which is stolen from Eastern Syria – where about 2,000 US troops are stationed. Yes, you guessed it, US troops help steal Syrian oil and channel it to Israel through Turkey – and Erdogan barks, but he is complicit. Why? Because his corrupt immediate family is profiteering from this scheme!! Welcome to the Middle East!…
- Russia has clearly warned Israel not to expand the war. Russia has the power to greatly reduce Israeli defenses from its bases in Syria with its advanced radar, fighter jets, and other capabilities.
- Iran itself has proven it has the power to attack Israel at will. Last month, its strikes were “theatrical” and coordinated with the West. In real terms, it can cause untold damage in a small area such as Israel.
Then what is Netanyahu’s and his Western supporters’ goal?
- In a panicky and desperate move, Netanyahu is trying to provoke a more expansive war, where his only “game” is to draw the US and other Western powers on his side. It’s totally desperate, as there is no winning outlook for Israel. But Bibi himself may postpone the time when he will go to jail for his criminal acts—domestically and during the war.
- Some in the DC establishment are playing with the idea of causing a wider war, hoping that it will give them enough “reason” to postpone the November elections likely “forever.”
Netanyahu’s game will fail, and it will not cause wider war…
- From the above facts, it is clear that Russia, China, and India (and India follows them) have taken the path to peace and will not let Israel drag the broader Middle East into a war. These countries have nothing to gain from war. Kissinger said it first decades ago: “The biggest problem every morning for China’s leader is how to give work to 1.4 billion people.” It’s even worse for India’s leadership.
- In about two months (October 22-24, in Kazan, Russia), there will be a huge BRICS summit, at which the major powers of the group, along with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and UAE, will draw the basic outlines of a new multipolar world order. This is Netanyahu’s – and the globalist warmongers’ – worst nightmare. They cannot fathom the loss of “their power”. And they act like crybabies…
- Any mature Western leadership would assume their countless failures (dating back through centuries of crusades, colonialism, and imperialism) and try to map their participation in this new multipolar world. Not so with Netanyahu and the DC Swamp. They are considering their “Samson option.”… This means they prefer even to use nuclear weapons and destroy humanity than accept defeat…
- Hopefully, Trump’s victory will change this nightmarish scenario. But even the “Sampson option” has little probability of success against Russia, who has taken measures to counter it.

One aspect that I fail to understand is why, a publication that leans to the right, as Helleniscope does, is against a darling of the right, Netanyahu. Republicans, Evangelicals, QAnnon crazies and assorted MAGAs love Netanyahu.
We love the truth more than anything else – truth above all.
Glad to hear that.
Nick, Israel, with its fearsome Mossad, is a little country that could. It is incredible how they freed the hostages at Entebbe, in the 70’s. punished the Munich Olympic hostage takers, killed Iranb’s scientists, just as it is incredible that they planted a bomb at the room that the victim was occupying, a few months prior to his arrival and detonated it from a long distance. The Israelis have arxidia and I admire them. I wish we, Greeks were like them. The Jews have immense wealth and power and are not intimidated. They use the holocaust as a dagger, wielding it over any anti-Zionist. But, they survive, in the midst of hundred of millions of Arabs and thrive. And no Arab nationalone or in combination, can stand up to them. Iran is deathly afraid of them. Look at the recent “bombing” that they did. It was meant as a balm to their own people, to show that they had some arxidia also. But they just proved how inept they are
When talking geopolitics you have to take many factors into account and put them in perspective..Israel is in the worst position in its short modern history. Not only it is surrounded by armed enemies but this October its worst nightmare will come true when Saudi Arabia and Iran will take part in the BRICS meeting in Russia. It’s game over for the Zionists, one way or the other. That’s why they are in panic
Bob, Nick answered correctly.
As for why so many on the American Right are ga-ga for Israel, all I can offer is this answer: brainwashing, pure and simple.
Also, culturally, heritage Americans look at the Israelis as plucky people who are surrounded by enemies but were able to “make the desert bloom.” This was American paradigm, i.e. “How the West Was Won,” etc. Unfortunately, liberals have indoctrinated heritage Americans to be ashamed of their past so they’ve transferred their racial pride onto the Israelis.
That’s a lot of it. Also, there’s the whole dispensationalist heresy which animated a lot of Protestantism for well over a century.
As much as I oppose Zionism, I oppose Islam even more. Muslims do not negotiate for a lasting peace. Their goal is to negotiate for time to reassess, readjust, and renew their war for total conquest. Iran, who takes the leading role, and their minions Hamas and Hezbollah MUST BE DESTROYED.
This attitude of “destroying” is more destructive than anything else. Did anyone wonder how come Russia has achieved peace with its millions of Muslims within its borders? And how come Russia and China (and India) are mediating for peace with Muslims? I will tell you one of the main reasons: the abandoned pre-conceived stereotypes, they treat them with fairness and they do not exploit them to death. The ultimate goal in the multipolar world order should be to get rid of “Judeo-Christian” sense of the “chosen” people (which is a Zionist notion hiding exploitation) and work on fairness, inclusion multipolarity AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Humans are not perfect creatures, there will always be problems, a mechanism to resolve these problems peacefully should be established.
