There is a significant chance that this will trigger the long-awaited world-wide credit, sovereign debt, and sovereign currency collapse.
Watch Silver.
If it escapes the control of credit markets again, it will be an indicator that they cannot contain the exponentially growing fraud inherent in the credit system.
I would rehash my earlier statements that hostile regimes have never, NEVER, been antisceptically collapsed from air power alone...at least not without delivering so much pain to the population (a la Dresden) that they would rather destroy their elites than face that pain again.
The fact remains that we are rehashing old tropes here.
The core percept the administration has brought for testing is: Can a TEMPORARY aerial bombing campaign produce a cultural reversal of behavior?
That was tested in Pyongyang Korea.
That was tested in Hannoi, Vietnam.
That was tested extensively throughout the 1990s in Operation Northern Watch and Operation Southern Watch.
That was tested in Afghanistan in 2002.
That was tested in Iraq in 2003.
Every. Single. Time. The result has been that the offending regime doubles down as soon as the bombing campaign eases enough for them to resume power.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. That bombed ruling coalition became more violent and offensive.
The Sunnis of Saddams Baath Party were many of the same Sunnis of ISIS.
ERGO...The OBJECTIVE VERDICT is that doing things in this way is less effective than doing nothing at all.
It might nibble around the edges of the worst of the corruption.
But without impartial courts and rule of Law you WILL NEVER get the same Law Enforcement that participates in the corruption, that facilitates the corruption, that covers up the most heinous crimes of the corruption, to punish or threaten the core of the corruption.
You know what you need to know: That your national and state governments are controlled by pedophiles and Satanists.
You are you looking for Court Exposition to spare you the effort of organizing to do something about it.
It wont. The Court case is to titilate you until you go back to sleep.
You already know that you must take action.
You already have lists of names of those against whom action must be taken.
Those names will have more names and details of more crimes. You are still only dealing with the tip of the tip of the iceberg of Evil here.
You already know government law enforcement is compromised.
You already know government courts are compromised.
Why resist so hard privately assembling teams of investigators, grand Juries of 24, and Juries of 12?
You need 24 to apprehend. You need 12 to sentence.
The rest of the legal system is corruption to let only SOME criminals be prosecuted. You have to dump that corrupt fluff and focus on the core principles: grand jury, IMPARTIAL LOCAL JURY, defense and prosecution advocates.
US Law Enforcement and the US Judiciary are IMPLICATED IN THIS.
They CANNOT investigate and try cases in which they are implicated.
Failure to regime-change means the following reconstituted regime will be even more hardline and aggressive.
The observation that target lists have become empty is meaningful only if it is accompanied with an estimate of time for the (even more hostile) follow-on regime to reconstitute them.
An operation of this size is not fiscally, politically, or socially feasible to repeat every few years to whack down the latest crop of apocalyptic Shias bent on world destruction through regional domination.
Therefore, if reconstitution time to rebuild drone, missile, and nuclear production capability is less than 10 years then this military action would be revealed as an exercise in ineffective use of military power.
With Force the trick is not just to do something, but to carefully analyze the end state to be achieved and the means available in order to do something EFFECTIVE.
If in five years everything is rebuilt and used in an even MORE HOSTILE way, then this will have been a very expensive waste of time, having produced a net negative result.
Ultimately this is the fundamental problem with use of air and sea power alone to solve a land-based human behavior problem. Short of using nukes to depopulate the place, the effects of air power are too ephemeral to to yield a change in the course of events.
Say what you will of 20 years in Iraq. Iraq will not soon be seizing neighboring countries.
The antiseptic view of military power as a means of delivering disincentives to an opponent's military action often fails to understand that the specific persons ultimately recieving the disincentives might not be the same ones responsible for the offensive activity.
Both land invasion and nuclear population reduction are shotgun approaches that deliver so much pain to everyone that no one thereafter is willing to repeat the actions that resulted in the pain.
My advice would be that if unwilling to go to the apocalyptic endstate, it is best not to start down the path leading to it.
But if confronted with such existential conditions that the apocalyptic end state is needed...then go there immediately and without further warning.
If humans cannot learn not to rob and enslave one another, then potential extinction is a benefit rather than a drawback.
Hopefully saner heads in Iran and DC will prevail.
The blue places will tolerate no industry but finance and credit.
It fits their entitled conceptions of the world to think themselves empowered to create loans from nothing as a permission slip to existence for lesser beings to go about the business of life.
They view all human production as their entitled tribute, without need to earn any of it.
Unless you have the devotion to law to do to criminal government officials as was done to Mussolini, you have no business complaining about either government or law, because it is you and no one else who has licensed some people to ignore law.
Inasmuch as the People believe they need permission to enforce law in the legally mandated way, through fair trials and punishment, there are no laws.
There are just criminals with government jobs, and private criminals without government jobs.
If you are unwilling to make cases, juries, and deliver verdicts and sentences without permission, then you have agreed to dissolve law entirely in favor of a slave/master relationship.
Take the beam from your own eye.
Law, in order to be law, must consist of more than a government issued gun and license to violate others.
Stop with the placards, protests, and meek supplication, as of a slave to its master, for government to stop giving out immunity to law to its favorites.
When a government employee licenses a person to break laws, that employee has become a co-conspirator and an accomplice to those crimes.
You are both legally and morally justified to form a jury, assign counsels, and deliver verdicts.
They will call this "vigilante justice", irrespective of your observance of the forms of Law because they are illegitimate monopolists protesting curtailment of their extra-legal privileges rather than sovereigns performing sovereign duties.
Common Law mandates that you cease to ignore your civic duties, and perform the public responsibility of enforcing law against government officials.
The form of trial and punishment through Juries and advocates is constructed explicitly prevent monopolies on law enforcement, else written law cannot exist and must be replaced by a "slave and owner" relationship.
Only through compulsory compliance with law levied AGAINST government officials, can free men exist.
If you seek "permission" to enforce law, then there are no laws but physical force, and no governments nor citizens but only slaves and masters.
If you do not understand that this works, and why it works, then you do not understand human nature at all.
The government and judges commit crimes against you because YOU LET THEM.
They will comply with Law if you punish the most egregious transgressors for the same reason that you follow law - fear of consequences.
When governments cease to fear consequences from those they govern, they CEASE TO BE SOVEREIGN, and transform into simple criminal gangs.
To publicly punish corrupt government functionaries, without awaiting their permission to do so, is a civic duty that men have been ignoring and malingering for far too long.
Some officials must be hung, or they will never understand that they are employees not slave masters.
Hang the judge and the migrants from the same public tree, rinse and repeat a few times, and this 'laws for some, no laws for others' silliness will rapidly end.
It is gross maliscious fraud and liable through intentional mis-quoting. And the BBC does it serially.
Nor is it an error of a private company. It is a government policy of a government ministry that constitutes a serial of intentional hostile acts.
What if the WallStreet Journal and Financial Times both were to start making similar misquotes of the BOE and/or ECB about financial conditions or rates?
Europe could be collapsed. The UK could be collapsed.
Dont be overtly hostile, doing things serially that are recognized acts of war, and then beg for handouts and defense.
Honestly, the only reason this isn't already produced in the US is because Defense Contracting is a closed Cartel.
It is an RC Plane with a hand-grenade or RPG warhead connected to a drone-brain.
If the US economy were functioning freely you would have dozens of US Start-Ups making them.
Differentiator would be range, fuel efficiency, and the ability to be controlled/directed to targets via link 16 or link 22, enabling existing radar systems and software connected to them to direct them to target.
If you wanted to be fancy you give it one of several off-the-shelf terminal target guidance systems.
If you didnt, then you give terminal guidance and decision to explode to a drone operator chosen from a pool who rotate in/out of the "Awaiting Target" pool and the "Current Target" pool. Not a lot different than how tube artillery fire mission assignment works now.
Either way, there is not much here beyond off-the-shelf components. And none of the potential novel components are critical to completing the mission.
Nevertheless, there is not a free market for defense material in the US.
It is in the Ukrainians' interest to charge a very significant mark-up for using the defense production base that they need for themselves.
I hope they do.
I hope it hurts.
I hope the US oligarchs feel enough pain that the US will stop being so full of monopolies, duopolies, and Cartels.
Getting rid of those barriers to creating start-up manufacturing businesses is the NUMBER ONE REQUIREMENT to regain a fully functioning economy.
Everything under the sun need not be regulated at all, much less from Washington, much less cartelized via financialization by a corrupt credit-ponzi cartel of bankers.
Successfully militarily controlling a country entirely from the air would be an unprecedented military innovation that has never been successfully done before.
They may officially "surrender" but without changing policies one little bit.
That results in a replay of the 1990s over Iraq with Operation Northern Watch and Operation Southern Watch.
The gamble was (and is) that the regime can be ejected from within if pressured from without.
Saddam's neighboring government could not be thusly ejected. That is the only analogous precedent.
The only incomes the UK earns are a couple of second rate vehicle companies, and a big finance industry that is majority owned by legal US Person Corporations.
Accuse Lloyds Insurance Marketplace of illicit political and financial manipulation in court (which they are 100% guilty of and well-known to be) and assert regulatory authority to freeze the funds of US Companies involved in that illicit trade, temporarily, while the matter is adjudicated.
US investment fund about 60% of the syndicates in the Lloyd's Marketplace. Freezing them does not divest their ownership in the syndicates. It merely causes them to be unable to issue new insurance until the matter is resolved.
It would be entirely within the US and US System.
But, because it affects the majority of funds at Lloyds, shipping would have to seek insurance elsewhere, probably from the Japanese Market...which would help Takaichi... The US banks could even get assistance to invest to help enlarge the Japanese Market -temporarily, of course - while the issue is decided, protecting them from much of the potential losses. They would simply be doing the same business in a different market...without freeing up their ownership interest in the Lloyd's market.
There would be pass-through fees to Japan, of course, for "helping to resolve the fraud" in international shipping insurance which US Financials *might* have participated in.
This would be a mature and respectful way to do it.
The UK Pederastocracy is incapable of that due to class privilege-induced blindness and luxury beliefs.
These are the HR Karen's who give CEOs orders.
A wise CEO would have fired everyone with the temerity to thusly break ranks.
US companies had no representation in the crafting of any UK Law, including this one.
Therefore, while not within UK jurisdiction it IS NOT A LAW AT ALL, but simply state-sponsored banditry that can be answered as such.
