USA Is the Empire, as Dispensable as USSR Was: The Islamic Republic of Iran Leads Resistance

Here is a daily dose of my intellectual vaccine against the plague of US (and Western) Hegemony, or the Savagery Packaged as “Civilization”.

10 Aug 2026 – I have long stopped watching any corporate and mainstream TV or listen to BBC, CNN, etc.

Why suffer fools and demagogues who parrot 20th century propaganda that has gone past its sell-by date?

Not only are the mainstream Americans (and any other imperialist and neo-imperialist western public still soaking up in the 20th century propaganda, or various strains of Orientalism — even after Gaza — they (for Americans and their European dependencies) are still fighting the 20th century war against what the (arrogant) American economist Paul Krugman called “a 3rd class power”, namely the Islamic Republic of Iran.

That 3rd class power – anchored in its 5,000 (or some say 7,000) years of civilizations (that have survived the historical cyclical time of war and peace – has decisively defeated the greatest military in history. There is absolutely nothing the United States, militarily, can do to bring 93-million Iranians, with their rebirth of revolutionary spirit. That includes nuking the country back to “the Stone Age”.

Zarni inside the archaeological park that was home to the Hattusa, the capital of Indo-European Hittite people who built an empire contemporary with ancient Egypt, almost 3,000 years before people who came to be known as Turks arrived in Anatolia (or Anadolu) in the 11th century AD. Remarkably, the world’s first known written Peace Treaty was between Hattusa and Egypt! Never mind your “liberal peace-making” B/S!

During our recent overland trip from Ankara to Hattusa (BC 1900 seat of Indo-Aryan power which is now known simply as a Turkish restaurant brand name!) my Turkish journalist brother (with Kurdish maternal ancestry, said to me, “Iranians are very humble and cultured people.” He knew. He lived and studied in Teheran for a number of years, and he speaks Farsi.

The savagery of the American Mind – that is, power elite’s mind – is such that it always threatens to destroy entire civilizations. While I was living in Berkeley, California, I remember Dick Armitage, Deputy Secretary of State and a Vietnam naval vet, making Trumpian threats to Pakistan under ex-general and then President Pervez Musharraf.

For the United States simply is NOT a civilization as we know it. Its ruling class is incapable of comprehending, valuing, appreciating and promoting – let alone defending – anything of civilizational value and longevity.

This one is for the Iranian Revolutionary War against Zio-Imperialist Aggression.

Here is the fact:

Iran has been prepared to fight the 21st century war of self-defence against the two most mass murderous states in modern history – Imperialist USA and its parasitic or puppet-master Jewish Supremacist European implant.

Future historians might look at today’s events – especially the US-war for Israel as the unwitting Zionist gift by Mileikowsky (Netanyahu’s paternal European name) to humanity, especially those of Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth, who want repressive Empires buried.

For all self-respecting humans, groups and individuals, want and work towards a world where all humans are accorded basic respect, dignity and equal rights.

Naturally, we all cheer on as Iran and the Axis of Resistance – yes, we know they are being demonized, dehumanized and criminalized as “terrorist” – by the Western states.
