US Bombs Fall on Iran, and the Empire’s Playbook Stays the Same
(Chaz Anon) Hold on to your pants! The U.S. has bombed Iran, just another chapter in the endless saga of American firepower raining down on the Middle East.
Israel, with its American and European sugar daddies, is swinging a wrecking ball at Iran, and don’t kid yourself—this isn’t just a regional cage match. It’s a full-on assault on the idea that any nation outside the West’s VIP list gets to call its own shots. For Iran, it’s a fight to keep breathing, sure, but zoom out and you see the bigger con: a civilizational shakedown, where the Global South’s dreams of standing tall get curb-stomped by the same old colonial playbook.
The majority world—those billions who don’t brunch in Georgetown or sip espressos in Brussels—is watching. This isn’t just about Tehran’s mullahs dodging drones. It’s about whether their kids get to live in countries that aren’t just strip-mines for Western profit. On one side, you’ve got a vision, however messy, of nations linking arms to build something human—schools, roads, futures. On the other? The West’s C-suite nihilists, licking their chops, ready to frack the planet’s soul for another yacht. It’s solidarity versus a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet’s got missiles.
The North American and European elite are sweating bullets, and it’s not just the caviar going bad. Their shiny new world order—where they don’t get to play global bully anymore—is a five-alarm fire for their centuries-old hustle. It’s a racket built on genocide, conquest, and slavery, polished with neoliberal fairy dust, now teetering because the Global South and players like China and Russia aren’t buying their “rules-based order” nonsense. These aristocrats of arrogance genuinely believed their propaganda—that their rigged financial casino and military death machine would keep the world’s wealth funneled into their offshore accounts forever. No alternative to their vampire capitalism? Tell that to the nations building their own table.
Now, Iran’s in the crosshairs, another desperate roll of the dice to claw back their fading mojo or maybe cut a deal with Beijing and Moscow from a slightly less pathetic position. Ukraine was their Waterloo—Western hardware got smoked, and the NATO playbook looked like it was written by a drunk toddler. So what’s the plan? Double down, naturally. The U.S. is greenlighting a 2025 “defense” budget of $850 billion, which is cute until you realize it’s just 45% of the real war chest—$1.9 trillion when you count the Pentagon’s off-books slush funds. USAspending.gov, in a rare moment of honesty, admits they’re burning cash from obligations older than some TikTok influencers. Compare that to Russia and China, whose combined budgets get lapped by Uncle Sam’s checkbook, yet Russia’s cranking out 350,000 155mm shells a month while U.S. arms dealers are huffing to hit 100,000 by year’s end. Efficiency, meet corruption.
Europe’s no better. Their military budgets are neck-and-neck with Russia and China’s, but their defense industries are bloated, bribe-soaked dinosaurs. NATO’s so spooked they’re huddling in The Hague on June 24th and 25th to beg for a 5% spending bump, like kids asking for extra allowance. Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission’s resident warhawk-in-heels, is practically salivating. On March 4th, she crowed about “an era of rearmament,” promising to unleash €800 billion to “ReArm Europe” and keep NATO’s leash tight. Meanwhile, Christine Lagarde, the European Central Bank’s ice-queen-in-chief, penned a June 17th love letter to “hard power,” urging Europe to flex its “Global Euro” muscle. Translation: the West’s unelected overlords are itching to militarize their way out of irrelevance.
This isn’t strategy; it’s a tantrum. The West’s criminal elite—anti-democratic to the core—are coordinating a global power grab, dressing it up as “security.” They’re not just fighting Iran or Russia; they’re fighting the future, where their divine right to loot the planet isn’t a given. Pass the popcorn.
