You all know instantly who I mean by ‘The Beast’*, I’m sure. The predatory animal which has terrorised the world for perhaps more than a hundred years now, and has, in latter years, been laid bare as a terror which now possesses no real capability at all to cause fear and trembling among more than the very weakest of the world’s nations. It’s recent endeavours, based on nothing more than media propaganda which hides the truth, and purchased cadres of focused terrorists wild enough to replace the Beast’s own pitifully poor and widely scattered military contingents, have also failed to make suitable impressions on the world.
*The term is not of my coinage but it does seem to fit well the connection. I know that Pepe Escobar uses it now, freely, but I do not know who first, in recent times, was the first to express it.
As has now been revealed, the US Beast’s Nuclear capability, acting as its only other backup agency for involvement in more substantial tasks, is today nothing much more than a sham pretence. A shop front with nothing much behind it. The shop filled with immense power and potential, but which are in most cases two lifetimes beyond their original use-by dates, with no intermediate updates or even regular servicing to keep them in top reliable form. Many are so dangerously dilapidated as to be considered beyond recovery or even manual disturbance of any kind. And this applies to not only the weapons themselves but also to their delivery carriers. Submarines which dare not move away from their tethered port berths, aircraft which would likely fall apart en-route to destination, and ground launchers in similar condition. It is a mess. A defensive catastrophe which the Beast is lucky its perceived enemies – who possess pristine, new, and much more highly advanced weapons and matching carriers to deliver them – are peace-loving nations (enemies only as perceived in the Beast’s deranged mind), are unlikely to take advantage of that delightfully open and helpless situation. Extremely lucky. But luck, and an opportunity, which certain elements that may have been hard hit by the Beast’s past maraudings, may not be so reluctant to ignore.
If you hold any disbelief in this admittedly remarkable happenstance for the non-West, then I suggest you take a walk through this considerably more in-depth analysis…
The Hysteria of Thermonuclear Doni – Global South – November 1, 2025
There is some heavy stuff in there. And it may be quite shocking, if you are not prepared, as to potential fall-outs from digesting the information with any degree of understanding. If it proves to be true.
I have little doubt of the truth of this fall of The Beast’s military prestige, although I cannot independently verify the story. But it fits in with everything I have read or heard or gleaned of the Beast’s situation over the years. And it goes some way towards explaining its current incompetence, impotence and reluctance for the US terrorists to engage in any serious warfare with supposedly peer opponents for many a year now. Beginning perhaps with the 2011 Libyan conflict which was a NATO operation with US involvement, chiefly as an Obama era regime change move against Gaddafi. The Beast knew, at that time, or should have, that having established some shred of cred by the first (1991) and 2nd (2003) Iraq invasions – albeit not even then against true peer forces – they had blown their last military excursion of any weight. Their ground forces now scattered and aging, with recruiting problems continually growing in intensity, and with a number of regime changes still planned, their days of having an army of any distinction were now gone, perhaps for ever. That, I believe was the point of their turn to utilising bought terrorist groups (like al Qaeda and Daesh) as a replaceable and disposable element of their war machine. The end of any potential military ‘greatness’ in the modern era. 2011 was also the time of their ‘sort of’ withdrawal from Iraq and ‘sort of’ move into Syria. If they had withdrawn at that time from Afghanistan, following the supposed Bin Laden killing – more time there was never going to give them any other sort of military ‘victory’ – they may have needed to do so ten years later under such humiliating circumstances. But of course the opportunity for plunder was too huge a draw-card.
You can make of all this whatever may meet your needs. But try to keep it real.
