The Israeli paradigm crashed — both in its external, and internal manifestations of ‘deterrence’.
Paradigms are fractured beyond the imagined; perhaps irreparably

Russian forces in southern Ukraine installed a powerful radio-jammer designed to interfere with the signals that help to direct GPS-guided munitions and drones.
Last week, Ukrainian forces blew up the Pole-21 GPS-jammer … with an apparent GPS-guided bomb.

Escobar: Let’s set West Asia on fire
The immediate goal of Straussian neocon psychos and their silos across the Beltway is to go for Syria, Lebanon – and ultimately Iran.
That’s what explains the presence in the Central and Eastern Mediterranean of a fleet of at least 73 U.S./NATO warships – ranging from two American aircraft carrier groups to 30+ ships from 14 NATO members involved in the ongoing Dynamic Mariner war games off the coast of Italy.
That’s the largest concentration of U.S./NATO warships since the 1970s.
Anyone believing this fleet is being assembled to “assist” Israel in its Final Solution project of imposing Nakba 2.0 on Gaza must read some Lewis Carroll. …

Escobar, Oct. 27/‘23
The warmongers in charge of US foreign policy, not exactly Bismarckian stalwarts, believe that if Project Ukraine is unattainable, Project Final Solution in Palestine could instead be a – ethnic cleansing – cakewalk.
A more plausible scenario, though is that Iran-Russia – and the new “axis of evil” Russia-China-Iran – have all it takes to drag the Hegemon into a second quagmire. It’s all about using the enemy’s own, discombobulated flip-flapping to unbalance him and disorient him to oblivion.

“Should Israel enter Gaza (and Israel may decide it has no choice but to launch a ground operation, given the domestic political dynamics and public sentiment), it is likely that Hizbullah will incrementally be drawn further in, leaving the U.S. with the binary option of seeing Israel defeated, or launching a major war in which all the hotspots become fused ‘as one’.”

It’s all about “pre-planned” and “reactive” US Navy and People’s Liberation Army Navy machinations, … in the Persian Gulf!
”The US Navy, for now at least, is not the preeminent naval force in the Gulf. That distinction now belongs to the 44th and 45th naval escort groups of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). The two groups, one of which has just arrived to take over from the other, have a total of six ships. Two are Type 052D destroyers equipped with YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missiles.
There was some breathless reporting on how this was a takeover move by China: but as with the US movements above, it’s worth looking at what is pre-planned and what is reactive. The handover between the two groups was long planned as part of their established operating pattern in the region. Granted, this handover has now been extended (as in the case of USS Ford) but the total number of ships is not an immediate response to what is happening in Gaza.”
Iran makes two moves, US carriers shift, and today China rules the Gulf

Just an observation: Alastair Crooke, routinely, posts articles weekly on Strategic Culture and Al Mayadeen, … but not this week! Last time I saw him on vid, it was a week or so ago having his weekly discussion with Judge Napolitano, … and he looked like he was significantly sick. Hence perhaps, it’s a reason no posts this week, no live interviews.
Anyway, … here is his latest article on Al Mayadeen – I’m posting it since I don’t recall seeing it TAE earlier ( fore give me if it was posted before). Snip first:
In the pre-WW1 era, policy-makers (and markets too) ‘forged ahead’ — blissfully ignoring the rising danger that was accreting during the sleepy summer hiatus between the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the outbreak of the War, five weeks later. (Markets, historically, almost never have anticipated the outbreak of conflict correctly).
Some, of course, did understand that two heavily armed alliances were on a potential collision course. Opinion however (resonating with today’s consensus), had been heavily influenced by Norman Angell’s 1909 best-seller, The Great Illusion, arguing that war wouldn’t happen, because global trade and capital flows were too closely interlinked.
Then it did. ( … bold added by moi)

And so, … more and more it is shaping to be that Middle East will become a war zone of Israel vs. Arabs as opposed to just war of Israel vs Hamas with generous help ( to Israel!) from the U.S. and it’s satraps ( trusted political followers) –
a message that western MSM is insisting we all accept.” Egyptian parliament met on October 19 and gave President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi the power to declare war against Israel, if necessary.”
”Jordanian King Abdullah II said, “The violent bombing campaign in Gaza is a collective punishment of a besieged and helpless population,” he said, calling it a “flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime.”
“Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on October 18, that any attempts to displace Palestinians from the West Bank to Jordan would be considered a declaration of “war.”

A Chinese military jet intercepted a Canadian Armed Forces Aurora aircraft in an “aggressive manner” on Monday in international airspace off the coast of China.
Seriously!
At least two different Chinese jets intercepted the Canadian plane consistently for multiple hours during the more than eight-hour-long mission. The Chinese jets came within about five metres of the Canadian plane.
The Chinese jet also launched multiple firework-like flares near the Canadian aircraft. These aggressive intercepts took place shortly after the crew lost contact with their base due to an apparent communications glitch with the equipment.
The 13-member crew on board the Canadian mission is tasked with helping to stop illegal oil shipments to North Korea.

If there is to be peace in the Middle East, it will come from them. [Putin and Xi]
—————————-Not Putin, … not from Russia! But what do I know? The Moscow Times:
Makeshift memorials have sprung up near synagogues and Israeli diplomatic missions across Russia in the days since Hamas militants launched a surprise offensive on Israel.
These spontaneous acts of sympathy by ordinary Russians contrasted with a lukewarm response from the Kremlin toward the attack that has resulted in the deaths of more than 1,300 people in Israel — including at least four Russian citizens — and over 1,500 in Gaza.
Regional analysts and experts told The Moscow Times that while Moscow’s response to the Oct. 7 attack might be in line with its long-standing policy of maintaining friendly ties with all political actors in the Middle East, Israel views Russia’s attempt at neutrality as a firm expression of both a pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas position.

Still Serene on the Eastern Front
… loooong snip:
[…]”Minus Israel, Lebanon and Syria can finally heal, and the entire Middle East will breathe easier. Some countries, though, may be beyond salvation. Killing for Jews all these decades, they’ve brought it upon themselves.
Last month, I emailed Beth in Philly, “You should stop deferring to Jews and their outrageous crimes. By fearing them so much, you are complicit in what they’ve done to Palestinians, other Arabs, Ukrainians, Europeans and Americans. Stop siding with these genocidal criminals. By making excuses for them, if only in your mind, you become a criminal.”
By Jews, I mean those who embrace and deploy Jewish thinking. It’s an insanely racist, deviously divisive and genocidal ideology. The last is its bedrock. If you’re born Jewish, who cares? If you’re a Jew in spirit or honorary Jew, may God help you.
Syrian Girl has just posted a video of Jews urinating on Palestinian corpses, whom they had just murdered, then stripped naked. Favored by a most spiteful, genocidal god, they’re free to grab land, massacre, swindle, poison and orchestrate wars, so a bit of corpse abuse is hardly worth noticing. Only hateful anti-Semites niggle.
