The Undercard

In championship boxing matches the hype and excitement is all around the title bout, but as a preliminary promoters run what is called The Undercard. It consists of a couple of fights of rising tyros, striving journeyman or novices of promise, and matches are fiercely contested. They set the stage for the champions.

The aborted, useless farce in Iran perpetrated by The Empire at the urging of the criminal Nazi Bibi, in its ridiculously inept and futile conduct by America and Israel was the Undercard of the clash of true champions of which it is the certain precursor.

The degree of humiliation suffered by The Empire in this prelim bout is not yet clear, and completely concealed by lying Empire MSM, even by that element that hates Trump, because it is in a box of its own construction. It must express hatred of him but stridently defend the nation he directs. They must never, for a moment, suggest that the country itself has failed or fallen short.

Time, which is with Iran that had the guts to tell the buffoon to stick his demands where the sun don’t shine while holding to its own, will show the extent of this massive reversal and loss of status for the dissembling, posturing “indispensable nation”.

Equally interesting is what has been revealed of the diminishing military might of Aunt Sam, and the risk aversion of its top brass. The military chieftaincy, for all its hard chauvinism and primitive cogitation, is not unaware of the iron algebra of force, and it does have a decent grasp of its own strengths and weakness. Trump was advised by his oberkommando that he couldn’t win a war against Iran and the arrogant imbecile launched it anyway.

Iran knew from the assaults on Natanz, its uranium enrichment facility, that the threat of full scale attack was real, and it did all possible to prepare for it. It assembled a formidable array of drone and missile weaponry, concealed and dispersed, that made invasion suicidal, and severely blunted damage by enemy missiles, though it could not be fully eliminated.

There is no certainty how sophisticated and extensive Iranian missile defense remains, but given what has been demonstrated, one must assume from their intransigence that it is state of the art and still abundant. Resolve is not based on wishful thinking.

In any case, its resistance broke the sneak attack of The Empire and its succubus, Nazi Israel, and the damage it inflicted on the complex of bases hosted by its gaggle of hired Arab whores has been staggering, and sufficient to force it to retreat and scramble.

Americans, with an MSM that is the slut propaganda arm of the regime, can’t know how thwarted and enraged Trump was by his total failure, how absurd it is for the Imperial Yoyo to brag about it, and how baffled he is in devising what to do now. The only certainty is that the idea of invasion has been permanently killed.

It is the fixed custom of militaries, from Sun Tzu to Clausewitz, to base plans and preparations for conflict on the last war fought, and this latest Trump blunder has proven that rule. The main lesson from it is startling, but plain. All conventional war fighting equipment has now been rendered obsolete and irrelevant.

The plain fact is that war machinery, from tanks to airplanes— regardless of stealth and speed—to carriers and destroyers, and even submarines, is now vulnerable to annihilating missile attack, and nothing can alter that fact, just as gunpowder, once made, could not be undiscovered. Missiles now function at speeds and with navigational capacities that make the big, clunky, fearsome engines of past wars mere targets and nothing more.

Carriers cannot now approach their aircrafts’ operational limits without being destroyed, besides which, long before planes could near their target area they would be blown from the sky.

There is another radical change in the calculus of conflict now. The idea of landing masses of troops in an invasion has become as insane as it was to order tens of thousands of men from the trenches to death by machine gun at Verdun and the Somme.

A landing cannot even be approached because troop ships will be sunk far at sea. Paratroop drops are a relic, much like Cavalry charges. There is simply no longer a way to introduce a powerful invading force into a hostile nation. None.

This being true, the outcome of The Undercard has pointed up critically important factors in regard to what The Empire has stated openly as its future intent: degradation of Russia, and war with China. The full absurdity of this lunatic fantasy can now be seen clearly in the light of what has been amply demonstrated.

There were two reasons The Empire’s assault failed. First, it was unable to defend its properties in the Gulf, most of which were so damaged by Iran’s missiles as to be put out of the fight. Second, in attacking civilian Iran and trying to defend its assets and Israel, it ran very short of its own missiles which, given its slow, absurdly expensive Capitalist supply system, it cannot rapidly restore.

To a sane observer, these facts make clear the great limitations of the war powers of The Empire. It attacked Iran in the baseless belief it would be an easy win. It was too weak and was shamed.

Think, then: Iran is courageous and resolute, but it is not Russia, or China. Those are Titans, orders of magnitude more powerful than Iran. What can be said of a nation that, having failed miserably on The Undercard, wishes to take on the champs?
