US heading for ‘checkmate’ and ‘total defeat’ in Iran war, says neocon Robert Kagan
Robert Kagan, one of the United States’ most prominent neoconservative voices and a long-time pro-Israel hawk, has warned that Washington is heading towards “total defeat” in its war on Iran - a setback he says “can neither be repaired nor ignored”.
Writing in The Atlantic, Kagan said the damage inflicted by the conflict cannot be reversed. "There will be no return to the status quo ante, no ultimate American triumph that will undo or overcome the harm done," he concluded bleakly.
FINALLY, some GOOD NEWZ about the war in Iran! 😀 Off the keyboard of a certified Neocon Jackass, no less. Rarely are we treated to such a happy moment worthy of celebration and gloating!
The only bad aspects of the collapsing FSoA imperialist adventurism is in the near term that it will do increasingly stupid things trying to maintain its "preeminence", and in the longer term won't do much besides perhaps slightly slow the ongoing Collapse of Industrial Civilization. It's far too late to repair the damage already done and there still is no replacement for the ever dwindling resources of energy, water and minerals necessary to maintain the current technological standard of living and population size. The Great Dieoff of Homo Sapiens on Planet Earth will arrive regardless. In fact it probably has already begun.
In the distant future however, life will go on for millions more years until the Sun goes Red Giant, any Homo Saps who do survive or evolve into something else will have the chance to start over and not repeat the mistakes made in the Age of Fossil Fuels. You can't make an Omelet without Breaking a few Eggs. 😀
