Does Israel bombing Iran mean the end of the American empire?
Does Israel bombing Iran mean the end of the American empire.
Let me explain.
Israel bombed Iran recently.
Out of nowhere.
No heads up.
Diplomatic negotiations between Iran and the US were happening a few days ago.
There’s a clip of the lead negotiator of Iran who said he thinks a deal is likely when he was interviewed on Fox News (here).
Israel murdered him and his family in cold blood.
Just like they’ve done to Hamas’ negotiators.
They bombed Tehran.
They bombed bases.
They bombed everywhere.
Then Iran came back.
They defended themselves.
As every country signed onto to International law is allowed to do.
If you hit me, I’m allowed to hit you back.
That’s what Israel did.
Only the previous countries they’ve bombed, JUST THIS YEAR, couldn’t fight back as hard.
They’ve bombed Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and now Iran.
Think about how nuts it is.
Up till now, those other countries didn’t have a formidable military.
Iran does.
Iran has been developing their ballistic missile program for decades.
Notice how I didn’t say nuclear weapons.
They don’t have nuclear weapons.
They weren’t trying to build nuclear weapons.
This is a lie that has been spewn by Netanyahu for 30 years.
Notice how many times he says Iran is close to having nuclear weapons.
He’s been doing this for 30 years!!
So this is a lie.
It’s not about the nukes.
Oh and btw, what about Israel?
The biggest open secret in international politics.
Israel has nuclear weapons.
They’re allowed to have nuclear weapons.
They stole it from the Americans.
Look up Jonathan Pollard.
Look up the Dimona reactor.
Look up the Samson option.
But no one is allowed to acknowledge this in public.
At least American politicians or the American media.
So one country stole nuclear weapons, has it themselves, has bombed another country, sorry 5 of them, just this year AND is still committing a genocide in Gaza for the last almost 2 years, where hundreds of people are dying every day?
Listening to this, would you think this country is good or bad?
You decide.
It’s pretty easy where I stand.
But now here’s how we get crazy.
Again, all of this is speculation but indulge me as we go down the rabbit hole to prove the original thesis.
Does this war signal the end of the American empire?
You could argue it’s already begun.
The Russia Ukraine war was probably that.
History will show that when the Americans took out the foreign central bank reserves of the Russians, that was the spark that precipitated their downfall.
Why?
Because countries are now moving away from the dollar.
Quick history lesson.
In 1944 towards the end of World War 2, the Bretton Woods conference took place.
This established a new monetary order where the US dollar was made the world’s primary reserve currency.
The one that most countries can trust and use to transact.
The major reason?
America had most of the world’s gold.
Europe had exported its gold to the States because of World War 2.
Europe was destroyed as Hitler rose to power, so many countries were scared that their reserves were going to get taken away.
Thus began the beginning of the American dollar as the global reserve currency.
As I’ve written before, All Hail King Dollar.
Then in the 70s, things changed a bit.
The Petrodollar began.
Thanks to Kissinger and his deal with the Saudis, a lot of the world’s oil began to be transacted in dollars.
In exchange for Saudi using US dollars as their preferred currency, the Saudi government started buying US weapons and recycling those dollars into US assets.
However, the currency also changed.
We went into a FIAT monetary system.
In 1971, Richard Nixon broke the gold standard.
Because Charles De Gaulle in the 60s began to call back his gold to France, other countries got nervous.
They decided to start asking for their gold back too.
There was a run on the bank.
So Nixon took the currency off the gold standard.
Now the currency was backed by nothing.
Still is.
It’s basically the American military and the finance apparatus aka the SWIFT system.
But this was America’s recent mistake.
Going back to what we were talking about before, America took US dollars out of Russia’s central bank.
All of a sudden the global reserve currency wasn’t neutral.
It was political.
For generations since 1944, everyone trusted the currency regardless of politics.
Biden and the Americans made it political.
So what did the world start doing?
It woke up.
Central banks and governments around the world started getting nervous.
What if I do something the Americans don’t like?
Are all my US dollar reserves gone?
Why not?
If they could do it to Russia, one of the largest countries in the world.
Why couldn’t they do it to me?
So the world began diversifying.
It started buying gold.
Lots of it.
Loads and loads.
Even today, reports mention that China has significantly underreported their gold holdings.
Meanwhile, whatever happened to the audit the Trump administration was going to do at Fort Knox - the vault where all the gold is stored?
China understands history.
All currencies eventually fail.
It’s inevitable.
It’s history.
The ones that eventually win out, are the ones with the most assets.
Tangible assets.
What has been used as a currency for millenia?
Gold.
Could they eventually challenge the dollar system?
Maybe.
But regardless, that’s not the major point.
The major point is the demand for US treasuries and dollars is going down.
It’s not the same as it once was.
This is a HUGE problem for America.
As it is for all empires.
When you eventually stretch yourself too thin, and start spending your money on useless wars that are unproductive for your population, you print money to do this.
This happens by selling bonds - aka US treasuries.
For the US government to finance what it spends money on, it sells bonds.
Via the US Treasury market.
What’s happening with that?
Chaos.
Quick lesson on bonds and why people should be paying attention to that.
Again with our history lesson, because the US dollar had the world’s reserve currency since 1944, they sold lots of debt.
Almost 37 trillion of it.
Who would buy the debt?
At the beginning, foreign countries.
So they could keep dollars in their central banks as reserves.
China, Japan, Saudi, Canada, etc.
But now pension funds, large endowments and banks also buy treasuries.
They keep them as reserves as well.
Recently when the market had a brief panic in April with Trump’s trade war out of nowhere, the bond market starting cracking.
It means people were selling.
People didn’t want US treasuries.
The asset that has been considered the gold standard of the global financial system since 1944.
When yields go up, that is very bad for the US economy.
It means everything becomes more expensive to borrow.
Mortgages, car payments, credit cards, etc.
Think about how many people are struggling right now in America to afford the basics.
It’s A LOT, especially post Covid and the inflation that came with it.
The world is becoming more unequal.
The erosion of the middle class.
If everything starts getting too expensive and all of a sudden you can barely afford to survive, your country is not doing well.
People won’t take it.
They’ll rebel.
Rise up.
Force their governments to change.
Either peacefully or like history, sadly, violently.
Here’s why this Iran-Israel situation matters.
The US is spending hundreds of millions of dollars a day to support Israel’s air defense system, including the Navy support they brought to the Middle East.
Only it seems like the Iranians have already pierced it.
There are videos of hypersonic missiles hitting major Israeli cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Now Trump is thinking about entering the war.
Spending more US dollars and the American taxpayer’s money on a foreign country that can’t defend itself.
Let alone that they were the ones who started it.
So if America enters, here’s where it could get crazy.
What happens in the Pacific with Taiwan?
Let a former Pentagon official, Dan Caldwell, tell you.
Was watching this video when this whole idea came up.
The Pacific is way more important to America than the Middle East.
40% of the world economy comes from Asia.
5% from the Middle East.
If China has a stronger Navy in the Pacific, they can start cutting off America from economic trade.
Apparently, China might soon have the world’s largest navy.
That matters, especially when most of global trade is done via that ocean.
And the biggest thing here is equipment.
China owns a lot of the key supply chains for American military components.
What happens when you go to war with a country where your weapons come from that country?
Not only that, what happens if you’ve spent billions of your weapons already in Ukraine and Israel?
Not only that, but what happens when your missiles and equipment starts to malfunction and you need more?
Only you can’t produce the equipment needed because you’ve hollowed out your manufacturing base and don’t make anything.
That’s a problem.
But again, here’s where America could have a secret weapon.
Some weapon that is more destructive than anything we can comprehend.
They might.
Never say never.
But assuming they don’t and these other countries can outlast the Americans by making them waste equipment without too much damage, America is cooked.
I don’t know if they can win a war against Russia in Ukraine, Iran with Israel and China for Taiwan, all at the same time, while making sure they don’t have any domestic problems.
History has told us that this is usually the catalyst that leads to the end of the empire.
Overspending on wars too far away from the empire and diversifying resources away from your population where most of them start to rebel and rise up because they can’t afford to survive.
See Rome.
Too many useless wars, not enough investment in the population, massive wealth inequality, shift from democracy to oligarchy and poor leaders who made bad decisions to continue fighting wars thinking they could win them all, when really they were too overstretched.
If America enters this war with Iran on behalf of Israel, we may be witnessing the end of the American empire.
Let’s watch.
