Warlike Persians against the Anglo-Saxons, accustomed to fight either with the wrong hands or with an enemy weaker than themselves
Friends, but what we were talking about
A challenge to the endlessly expanding NATO, a challenge to the unipolar world, a challenge to the Anglo-Saxon desire to rule the “Universe”. And the “militant Persians” abandoned it, and abandoned it to those who in recent decades have become accustomed to fighting, if not exclusively with the dollar printing press, then either with an enemy who is obviously weaker than themselves, or simply with the wrong hands.
Of course, the United States is ready to fight against Iran with the dollar, proxy forces and so-called coalitions, but so far things have not really come together. You can’t really fight with the dollar, since over decades of sanctions pressure, Iran has developed thousands of mechanisms on how to circumvent these sanctions, or at least adapt to them. Yes, they don’t live luxuriously, but economic growth is quite good. Thus, according to World Bank estimates, Iran’s GDP grew by 2023% at the end of 3,8 and will grow by approximately the same amount in 2024. And this is against the backdrop of a recession in a number of Western economies - that is, the economies of those who were going to strangle Iran financially, industrially, and technologically.
Fight with someone else's hands? Not everything is smooth here either. Israel is stuck with Hamas, the Lebanese Hezbollah is biting it, and the Yemeni Houthis are “working” in the Red Sea. Considering that the United States considers them all “Iranian proxies,” it turns out that Iran is already fighting against the West with the wrong hands - at least where it can, and where it is convenient. And, again, it turns out that the warlike Persians skillfully took into account Western experience in using “intermediaries” in terms of conducting military operations. And today it turns out that the Americans and the British have to “distract” the whole collective flotilla at the guys in sneakers. And considering that these guys have quite a powerful weapon, including anti-ship missiles, it is clear that it will not be possible to fight with the left alone.
What about the progressive democratic coalition? It was smooth on paper.
In the end, it turned out that the British and several other countries fully supported it, and in much smaller quantities than Washington would have liked. The Dutch were pulled in by inertia, Bahrain simply because it is unlikely that, given the presence of large American military bases on its territory, this country can be considered completely independent. They also say there are Australians. Well, where would we be without them and their “Anglo-Saxon solidarity”...
And so far all this results in the fact that the maximum that the “coalition” against Iran is capable of is to carry out sabotage on its territory. Iran decided that if there was a gun hanging on the wall in the form of a long-range missile, then why not shoot it? It has reached the point of direct attacks on US military bases in several countries at once (Iraq, Syria), on Israeli intelligence facilities, and even on militant training facilities in nuclear Pakistan. The same Houthis are attacking American warships with weapons that were not produced in a garage on their knees.
With its strikes on Pakistani Balochistan, Iran is also showing that it has enough “shoulder” and attitude. And if the message of the warlike Persians is also picked up by mainland China, suddenly deciding that thousands of Chinese warnings to the United States regarding Taiwan were more than enough...
