The SMO and the MoU vs Empire

By Amarynth

These two wars are the existential in our world currently.  These two wars are one, by definition fighting empire.  The African wars are different and they are still as a result of neo-colonialism and in many cases resource wars.  We can add them to the fight against empire in the big scheme of things, but most African leaders seem to be busy fighting against themselves first.

The Russian Special Military Operation (SMO) is so titled because it is not a conventional war.  Russia does not strike civilians.  The areas covered by the MoU are similar.  They do not strike civilians.

This is both the humane approach and also the Achilles heel, because the empire strikes civilians by preference.  The SMO and the MoU areas however disingenuous it sounds, fight for life, whereas the empire fights for death.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admits that he will not abide by any peace agreements. He is promoting the “Greater Israel” program, wants to control all of Gaza, and will continue the war in Lebanon. “We will not leave until Israel’s security measures are implemented,” Netanyahu stated.  Security in this case is the pretext for demolishing anyone that is not themselves.  This is what the word ‘security’ means for this part of empire.  This is why it is allowed to continue, also being the hoped for inheritor of the current empire (Greater Israel).  Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says that “For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!”  The SMO and the MoU area fight for existence of complete humanity on our earth, hence the Russian initiative of Multipolarity and the Chinese initiative of Global Governance.

So now, the MoU is on hold until empire does their share.  Empire thought it would ballet and twirl off into the thick environment of stormy negotiations, and hide themselves there.  Iran is yanking them out of their usual shadows.  Iran said that if the other party, empire, does not keep to its stipulations, they will in turn not keep to the stipulations and punish empire and promptly postponed any 60-day negotiations that were supposed to start, because the empire did not bring their rabid Netanyahu dog under control and major strikes against Lebanon were carried out by Israel with impunity, since the MoU was signed.

Marandi : The Trump administration does not adhere to the agreement. Iran will not implement the memorandum of understanding under these circumstances. The American economy is at risk of collapse, and the Zionist regime will be punished.

Everyone is aware that the slow drip to death in Gaza continues.  What the next punitive step will be I do not know but it may be a real closure of the Strait of Hormuz.   The Iranians are still out on the squares and in the streets and even more so, after their Leader’s short statement.

Russia is doing major strikes to punish those that are flinging major numbers of drones against them.  In numbers
Russia wins.  In the hearts and minds of the Russian people, there is a impetus to fight harder, faster, fiercer and if we really look at it, expressed we find less care for humanity.  I believe the Russian leaders will do the first three, but will still maintain care for humanity.  This is what civilizational states do!   SmoothieX12 does the numbers on the latest drone attacks as follows:    “Latest data: 200 drones launched at Moscow, 194 shot down by Moscow’s AD defense (per Mayor Sobyanin). That means 6 got through, or 6/200 = 3% of drones launched. That means 97% combat efficiency of Air Defense.”  That sounds militarily just great but does not satisfy the Sturm und Drang in the hearts, minds, souls and spirits of the Russian population currently.  Putin is at a Security Council meeting as we speak, and perhaps today is the day that we see a different Russian stance.

Again, these wars are one war.  Berletic brings the ongoing process of the bigger scheme of things to the fore.  It does not mean it will turn out this way, but it is the plan at the moment.  The empire is an empire.  It is the bringer of death, chaos, super-imperialism and forcing others to pay tribute.  It cannot change and cannot reform without being roundly trashed in all spheres of our modern life.  It needs to be deprived of everything that makes empire able to continue.  Trump and Vance said a few things critical of Israel during the completion of the MoU and suddenly, Oy Vey, the masses believe them.  Do you not know that empire is an empire and will say just whatever suits them for this moment?  If they have to put Netanyahu on the stake, they will burn him with impunity.  People swing to the words and like tame cobras in their baskets they sway to the trainer’s flute.  They forget to look at the actuality.  Trump can tell Netanyahu that he cannot strike buildings in Beirut (very deliberately he defined ‘Beirut’) and Netanyahu will immediately take the opportunity given and say .. OK, I’ll strike villages in the South and cool as a cucumber carries out more than 100 Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon over the past 24 hours.  Empire is empire and it won’t stop unless it is roundly trashed and deprived of its own belief that it is King of the Planetary Hill.  This is exactly what multipolarity must fight against.

Let’s take a look at Berletic

▪️Iran has simply survived the latest round of DECADES of US encroachment, encirclement, containment, and aggression;

▪️Actual “winning” looks like what the US has done in Syria, where one side completely loses, is removed entirely from the regional equation, and there are no “talks” or “negotiations” because the losing side has zero leverage to even get the other side to the table;

▪️The fact there are “talks” with the US in the first place indicates a fundamental lack of leverage on Iran’s part;

▪️The US will not be withdrawing from the region, nor will US-backed proxies be rolled back and eliminated – instead the US and its proxies will simply rebuild, rearm, and reorganize their approach ahead of an inevitable renewed conflict…

… if there is even a significant pause to begin with;

▪️The US has already attacked Iran, paused a year, attacked again, paused a year and attacked again – in 2024 (via Israel), 2025, and again this year – nothing yet has been done by Iran to break this cycle, just survive it;

▪️Iran “controlling” the Strait of Hormuz is moot if the economic damage it causes advances US interests in placing the rest of Asia under energy dependence on the US – the only variable the US seeks to control is the speed & severity of the damage caused – this “MoU” allows the US to manage and slow it down;

▪️A US defeat would look like the full withdrawal of US troops from the region, the elimination of or reconciliation with its most dangerous proxies in the region, and iron clad security guarantees for Iran (via allies like Russia and China) – anything short of this means future conflict is inevitable;

In other words, future conflict is inevitable

Right at this moment we are getting early reports that the Strait of Hormuz is in the process of being closed.   I cannot yet confirm this, but Iran may be in the process of playing their ‘Trump’ card and take down the global economy.  Security is indivisible.  If they are not secure, nobody will be secure.  This is a bigger disaster than what we’ve seen play out since the SMO started and the forerunner of the MoU.  For now, arguably,let’s call that point Gaza.

Now let’s see if empire wants to play this game of chicken to their own death, and not only the death of others.  Let’s see of they get it that they are in the gun sights of the world and their own survival has become the issue:  for them!  The rest of us cannot really care, just like the Russians express that they cannot care any longer about playing a clean game – they want to demolish Ukraine and the rest of Europe and anything else that is a threat.  Exactly like Iran cannot care if they bring the weapon of the world economy to bear on the empire as well as anything else that is a threat.  Just like China cannot care and will win in trade and technology with the world majority.  Empire wants to make a bubble out of their AI.  China gives it away as an advantage to the global majority.  We are all in this one war.   In our current global world shift, the Global Majority is telling the Empire:  DO NOT CROSS because HERE BE DRAGONS!  The empire has not faced such a moment ever.

Text of the audio message:
“Since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete lifting of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are considered fundamental conditions for an agreement between Iran and the United States, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until these two conditions are met.
All ships are requested, for the sake of their security and safety, not to approach the Strait of Hormuz. Any ship or naval vessel that violates this directive will be targeted.”
