For understanding this, I rely especially upon the following reporters whom I have found to have the highest percentage (at or near 100%) predictive accuracy on these matters and I thus consider to be the most reliable and brilliant geostrategic analysts on the Web: Alexander Mercouris, Brian Berletic, Douglas Macgregor, the “Moon of Alabama” blogger, the “Simplicius76” blogger, and Scott Ritter. All of them are in agreement that Russia will win its war to defend itself against the U.S. empire’s war to conquer Russia in the battlefields of Ukraine, and that the U.S. regime is therefore now reving-up its war to conquer China, so as to keep the controlling owners of the U.S. Government, America’s billionaires, satisfied and continuing to fund the political careers of America’s billionaires-s‘elected’ installed Government officials. Their war to conquer Iran is thus now being viewed by these analysts as a part of the U.S.-and-allied billionaires’ war to conquer China even more than it is a part of their war to conquer Russia (because the latter war is no longer the empire’s main focus).

Below are recent statements about these matters, from Berletic, Ritter, “Moon of Alabama,” and “Simplicius76” excerpts I’ve selected as showing their main points:

“Syria Today, Iran Tomorrow, and Inevitably China”

Brian Berletic, December 19, 2024

The collapse of the Syrian government in mid-December 2024 represents a pivotal moment for U.S. geopolitical strategies in the Middle East and beyond. …

Syria’s Collapse Was Long Sought …

Next Target: Iran …

The Times of Israel itself, in an article titled, “IDF sees chance for strikes on Iran nuke sites after knocking out Syria air defenses,” connected Israel’s targeting and destruction of Syrian air defenses with plans to then carry out direct strikes on Iran.

The article points out:

According to the military, the IAF destroyed 86% of the former Assad regime’s air defense systems across Syria, totaling 107 separate air defense components and another 47 radars. The numbers include 80% of the short-to medium-range SA-22, also known as the Pantsir-S1; and 90% of the Russian SA-17 medium-range air defense system, also known as the Buk.

These airstrikes reveal just how effective Russian-made air defense systems were, having previously forced Israel (and the US) to rely on stand-off strikes on targets in Syria and forcing Israeli warplanes to circumvent Syrian airspace during recent missions targeting Iran itself. …

Far from simply exploiting recent, unexpected developments, the elimination of Syria as an ally of Iran was a long-standing prerequisite required and planned for before moving on to toppling Iran itself.
