A few developments lately that emphasise the obvious long term collaboration and planning of China, Russia, Iran and others to arrive at the position we are in today. The acceptance of Iran as a full member of the SCO, the huge 25 year 400 billion deal between Iran and China, the alliance between Russia and China to counter Empire. A
The development of weapons and defence systems in all of these countries has been geared towards defending against a peer rival. They have been able to concentrate on this development whilst the US/UK NATO have been spending their ill gotten gains on Aircraft carriers, overpriced jets and munitions required to invade and subdue small and weak countries.
Their not very subtle plan to isolate Russia and China in order to be able to pick them off one at a time ran out of time.
In the great game of geopolitical chess we have created threats all over the board, all have been countered successfully and we are now overstretched, in check, and checkmate is imminent.
History is a narrative not a series of random events. The invasions of the last 20/30 years were planned. They were not as a result of Saddam having WMD, Taliban sheltering Bin Laden or whatever piss poor excuse was given by our overlords and gobbled up by apologists like David. We don't live in a democratic country because we have no say in whether our countries blood and treasure is spent to spill the blood and steal the treasure of other countries. If we did have a say, none of these wars would happen in our name unless we put David in charge.
Missile and Air Defence technology of Russia, China and even Iran has made Western tech obsolete. Try parking your aircraft carrier strike group within strike range of any of those countries and see what happens. Not that we will see that, because our military planners know exactly what would happen. The planes would be shot down, the missiles intercepted and any planes that did manage to return would have no aircraft carrier to land on.
The Western Imperialists are way behind on missile tech and air defence, never saw it coming and are now attempting a series of Hail Mary's and ramping up the propaganda for the domestic audience but the writing is on the wall.
