The missile strikes that killed Israel’s deterrence

Coordinated strikes by the Resistance from multiple fronts have forced new rules of engagement on Tel Aviv, which is already struggling to keep its domestic and external crises under control.

Can Israel survive another, bigger multi-front assault?

Israel is currently facing a unique and formidable challenge – a multi-front irregular force that poses a greater threat to the regime than traditional Arab armies of the past. What sets this irregular force apart is the introduction of missile warfare and a genuinely united front.

The Resistance, to the Zionist regime, is made up of various actors who operate across multiple fronts. Their unconventional tactics and strategies, includes symmetric and asymmetric warfare, with advanced weaponry; overwhelming the Zionist regime.

Excerpts from article:

The decision to calm tensions in the Al-Aqsa Mosque was a recognition by Israel that the resistance has gained the upper hand by coordinating its assaults from multiple fronts: rocket fire from Gaza, missile attacks from Lebanon, targeting of illegal Israeli sites in the occupied Golan of Syria.

Israel’s attempt to hold Hamas responsible for the rocket fire from Lebanon – while avoiding mentioning of Hezbollah – was seen as an effort to avoid a confrontation with the Lebanese resistance group and to restrict its response to Hamas.

Tel Aviv’s response to the incoming rockets was limited to sporadic strikes, targeting farms. A strong indication that Israel is trying to save face without escalating the situation further. This had immediate implications: Israel has been compelled to accept the equations imposed by the resistance and is no longer able to risk a potential escalation that could lead to an all-out war on multiple fronts.

According to the Resistance, “The message … is that in any upcoming war, more than one front will be opened with the enemy under the new ‘unity of fronts’ paradigm.”

“One of these [new] rules is that Jerusalem is not only for the Palestinians but for the Islamic and Arab nations,”

2023: Historic Defeat For American Imperialism; Who Were The Victors!?

This video is from beginning of 2023, stating that the END of 2023 will be very different from the BEGINNING of 2023.

Partial Transcript of video:

The world is experiencing fundamental changes in global power constellation.

And, as the geostrategic, most important, region in the world West Asia is in the middle of these historic transformations. …

The World is now coming to understand the profound significance of the historic defeat the U.S. & its allies experienced in West Asia, in the early 21st century: in Iraq, in Syria, and in Afghanistan.

Some have suggested it was a 3rd World War, by historic standards, which effectively ended any U.S. claims to global hegemony and began a re-ordering of global affairs by the victors.

But, who were the winners of this 3rd World War: the Islamic Republic of Iran with its allies in the various Resistance movements of the region; joined later by a resurgent Russia and a rising China.

The victors are now in the process of creating a new global order, with its own institutions, independent of the West, for the first time in centuries.

This is turning out to be a big test for many of the local elites in West Asia who have staked their continued worldly power and existence on U.S. and Western backing. And, we are witnessing their desperate efforts to quickly reorient themselves towards these new powers, in order to save their illegitimate tribal and military dictatorships.

What’s clear to most observers is that West Asia will be very different at the end of the 2023, than it is at the beginning of the year 2023.

We are witnessing the starving and the crippling of an entire generation.
— UN Secretary General

Why is there so little discussion of the U.S. role in perpetuating this ongoing catastrophe?
And what can we, as Americans, do about it?

The UN describes Yemen as having one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world today. A UNICEF report says 9.6 million children (80% of all the children in Yemen) need humanitarian assistance, and the World Food Program predicts the deaths of 150,000 malnourished children in the next few months. The current cholera outbreak, a direct result of this siege, reached its millionth case and has been characterized as the worst and fastest spreading cholera epidemic in modern history.

Introduction:

Saudi Arabia has been, as of recent, making threats to wage war on Iran.

Saudi Arabia has been busy, since 2010 and the rise of “Arab Spring,” with:

• Occupying Bahrain and helping crush the real, peaceful, people’s revolution there.
• Helping to remove the more progressive Arab leaders, such as Gaddafi in Libya, a country that is now in ruin and chaos.
• Utilizing that chaos to wage a proxy war on Syria, which seemingly is winding down, and major defeat for the Saudi front and its backers.
• And, waging war on the people of Yemen to suppress a revolution that was just starting to bloom – thus mixing war and revolution.

Some questions:

• Has Saudi Arabia been alone in these endeavors?
• Where from are this Saudi/Wahabi phenomenon?
• What of GCC countries relations with Saudis; how much collaboration and/or competition?
• Is Trump adding to longevity of these GCC regimes that are footprints of British-East-India company in the Persian Gulf?

Perspective:

• After World War One we had the October revolution.
• After World War Two we had myriad anti-colonial revolutions.  
• After Vietnam, we had the Iranian revolution.

Thus, it would seem that revolution(s) are to be expected, especially considering the scope and longevity of the current war.

The “Arab Spring” mixed a slight taste of revolution with war; where, soon the warmongers were able to transform revolution into counter-revolution, in Syria.  The defeat of counter-revolutionary forces in Syria has prompted the militarists in the Trump administration to rename the “infinite war,” of Bush administration, as “unlimited war.”

As wars lead to revolutions, ultimately, it is expected that revolution(s) may one day prevent war(s).

• Will this “unlimited war” be able to ebb the flow of revolution(s) that it seems to be more stimulating, now, than abating?
• Will revolution(s) be able to ultimately end war, especially in this case where an “infinite” and/or “unlimited” war has been announced?

Within the confines of wars and revolutions, and humanity evermore facing survival or perdition; Saudi war mongering stands in stark contrast to Iran’s Islamic Revolution.

Today, we will focus on Saudi wars, aggressions, and its relations with the West, in particular United Kingdom and United States that together have defined worlds’ biggest empire for last century.
