Donald Trump has not officially declared war at any point during his second term.
And yet, Scott Bessent took the podium this week to do exactly that.
But, who is that war truly against, and why is Iran serving as both proxy and translation layer for that war?
Furthermore, if the so-called Iranian Regime truly is such a threat to the West ... then why is the strongest opposition to both Operations Epic Fury and Economic Fury concentrated among our so-called Allies?
Allow me ...
"The Iran theater in all its prolonged, contradictory and deliberately-opaque glory has supplied a cascade of shocks to the System of Systems on both Actual and Narrative grounds.
By keeping a global energy corridor under sustained pressure while simultaneously demonstrating the American willingness to absorb short-term domestic costs in order to reprice the dependencies of others, Trump has engineered the conditions under which European industrial and political elites must confront the reality nearly a century of post-war lionization and legend-making always sought to cover—that the very growth and reconstruction model we drove on the back of said war was never self-sustaining, but rather subsidized by the United States.
More so, by its peoples.
By us, our fathers and grandfathers.
And that subsidy, however necessary and defensible at the time is being withdrawn on terms set by the subsidizer.
On terms set by us, in other words., with America Herself playing the role of Frankenstein’s Monster to the very Collectorate that transformed it from a land of liberty born of sovereign men with sovereign minds to one that doubled as the Hegemonic military superpower of this time, and perhaps all time.
Economic D-Day is therefore not primarily a declaration of war against Iran, but the public naming of the moment when the European Regime is forced to stand, or fall without the American backstop it has treated as a birthright now that its financial institutions that represent the foundation of its inglorious existence are being exposed, routed and likely drained using the Iran War narrative as a translation layer, a shield and a sword all at once.
This is the TRUE endgame of Economic Fury, in my estimation—the simultaneous extrication of the United States from the grips of the Globalist Western Hegemon and the complete exposure of that Hegemon’s inability to function once the grips are loosened.
Thus, Trump does not require the formal dissolution of alliances or the theatrical repudiation of treaties, only the consistent application of power according to sovereign interests rather than collective obligation that only ever served to keep an illegitimate Hegemon going, shielded as it was by the very regimes it pretended to oppose, and that Trump is disentangling, de-fanging and even reforming in real time, all across the game board in a Sovereign Cascade that began in Venezuela and is continuing in Iran, but which will not stop there."
