    ‘Operation Epic Fury’ – Anatomy Of A War Of Aggression

    Wednesday, 4 March 2026 — Media Lens

    Commenting last week on the build-up of US military forces targeting Iran, Robert A. Pape, Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago,  got it right:

    ‘This represents 40-50% of the deployable US air power in the world. Think air power on the order of the 1991 and 2003 Iraq war. And growing. Never has the US deployed this much force against a potential enemy and not launched strikes.’

    “Volatility” Is a Euphemism for Imperialism: Reading the Asian Market Crash Through Lenin

    Wednesday, 4 March 2026 — Liberation News Network

    The lessons that Lenin started to teach us in 1916 can guide our understanding of the latest market crash

    The financial press has a thesaurus of euphemisms for systemic failure. “Market volatility.” “Geopolitical risk.” “Risk-off sentiment.”

    What they won’t print: Imperialism is eating itself alive, and Asian workers are paying for the meal.

    The end to deceptive Trumpian diplomacy

    Monday, 2 March 2026 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    By Alastair Crooke

    With the demise of diplomacy, the conflict has moved from the realm of strategic calculus and realism into one of psychological conditioning.

    China’s Satellites Over West Asia: A Silent Shield for Iran

    Tuesday, 3 March 2026 — The Cradle

    Shivan Mahendrarajah

    Beijing’s expanding satellite network now hangs over the region as an unmistakable warning to Washington and Tel Aviv: their every deployment is visible.

    When MizarVision began publishing satellite images of the US force buildup in the Persian Gulf and Jordan ahead of the US–Israel war on Iran that began on 28 February 2026, the internet reacted instantly. The photographs circulated widely because they revealed something western providers had carefully avoided showing.

    Nate Bear

    Living under late stage empire is like living in a twilight zone. The last few days have been especially trippy.

    The US and Israel declared war on Iran with the full support of many European and regional leaders, and when Iran retaliated (as is their legal right under international law) the western political and media class wet the bed.

    Iran: Another US Miscalculation?

    Monday, 2 March 2026 — Geopolitics and Climate Change

    Roger Boyd

    In the first few months of 2022, the US and its European vassals were in an effusive mood as president Biden waxed lyrically about the Russian Ruble becoming “rubble” and European leaders salivated over the prospects for all the new profit-making opportunities with the defeat and subjugation of Russia. And also, the great weakening of China without its northern ally. The Western optimism was so great that an extremely good offer proffered by Russia in the Istanbul negotiations was rejected. Four years later, the Russo-Ukrainian proxy war continues to grind on with Russia showing increasing economic and military strength while the Western arsenals have been depleted; with the US now handing off the financial support for Ukraine to its European vassals. With the economies of those vassals weakened by the loss of cheap Russian fossil fuels. More and more, even the European elites are coming to accept some form of Russian victory.

    Unexpected Iranian reaction paralyzed Americans and Israelis on the first day of war

    The recent military escalation in the Middle East revealed a strategic miscalculation on the part of Washington and Tel Aviv. By launching a direct offensive against Iran, authorities in the United States and Israel apparently assumed that Tehran would repeat the pattern observed in previous confrontations: initial restraint, calibrated retaliation, and delayed timing. This pattern was evident both during the so-called Twelve-Day War and in earlier episodes of Israeli aggression against Iranian targets and regional allies. This time, however, the calculation proved mistaken.

    Ten hours that shook West Asia

    Sunday, 1 March 2026 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    By Pepe Escobar

    Iran executed a large-scale, coordinated attack on U.S. and Israeli military assets across West Asia in ten hours, launching over 1,200 missiles and drones. The operation targeted 27 U.S. bases, damaged critical infrastructure, and disrupted the Strait of Hormuz, restricting passage to only Russian and Chinese vessels. Despite a U.S.-Israeli decapitation strike that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and others, Iran’s leadership quickly activated a pre-planned response with a detailed succession strategy. The conflict marked a strategic rupture between Washington and Tehran, with Iran pursuing retaliation and shifting the global dynamics in West Asia. Russia and China are expected to support Iran, while economic and military pressures could force a U.S.-backed ceasefire. The article suggests the region may be entering a post-U.S. order following decades of sanctions and imperial presence.

    We may just be reaching the portal of the post-U.S. West Asia order.

    Saturday, 28 February 2026 — Danny Haiphong

    The US and Israel launched strikes into Iran in the early hours of February 28th in an attempted regime change operation that both Trump and Isarel officials say will last days. Iran has already retaliated in a massive way, leaving several US bases and Israel itself under heavy fire. War correspondent Elijah Magnier joins the show to break it all down

    The Guardian’s “Raw Deal” and Washington’s Fine Print: Zambia, Health Aid, and the Politics of Conditional Care

    Friday, 27 February 2026 — Weaponized Information

    A liberal alarm rings in the pages of The Guardian, exposing troubling terms while leaving the aid architecture itself intact. The material terrain reveals how debt-shaped constraints narrow Zambia’s choices before any negotiation begins. The agreement fuses life-sustaining health systems with mineral governance and long-term informational commitments. Across the Global South, emerging refusals and alternative pathways signal that these arrangements are not beyond contestation.

    The Epstein class has an Israeli-backed plan to weaponize organized crime, & terrorize the people into submission

    Friday, 27 February 2026 — Rainer’s Newsletter

    When it comes to the long-term designs of the Epstein class, an insightful resource is the Israeli-backed psyop book Bronze Age Mindset. Its author, the Greek right-wing polemicist who goes by “Bronze Age Pervert,” had been in contact with Israel’s influence network by the time he came out with the book in 2018. He’d been befriended by Edward Luttwak, the geo-strategist who’s done work for the Zionist occupier’s military and therefore is part of the global intelligence operations that Epstein was at the center of. It’s in Bronze Age Mindset where we find a series of predictive programming narratives, designed to recruit BAP’s audience of disillusioned men into assisting with the next schemes of Zionist billionaires.

    Trump’s Iran strategy: A looming catastrophe built on sand

    Thursday, 26 February 2026 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    Martin Jay

    Trump’s plan for war with Iran is viewed as reckless and doomed to fail, with the U.S. military seen as overextended and vulnerable. Russia and China are anticipated to benefit from the conflict, aiming to counter Trump’s destabilizing policies. His strategy, built on flawed assumptions and poor planning, risks catastrophic consequences for the U.S., potentially leading to impeachment and a significant loss of global influence. The author argues that the crisis reflects a broken American democracy and an unrealistic belief in military dominance. Cocoon AI Summary

    America’s failed democracy has brought it to the brink of war with Iran, yet it will be Russia, China and Iran who reap the rewards.

    From Gaza to Lebanon to Syria: Israeli Army’s Chemical Spraying Expands, Scorching Border Farmland in Quneitra to Expand Buffer Zone

    Thursday, 26 February 2026 — Quds News Network

    The Israeli army has adopted a new pattern of violations in southern Syria. It has sprayed chemical herbicides over agricultural and grazing lands along the border. Local monitors say the move forms part of a broader security policy. That policy aims to reshape the buffer zone and impose new facts on the ground by expanding control near the separation line.
