The Money Game Behind the Wars

Since we are in the era of pure finance capitalism here in this country, where money is everything and humanity is nothing, we are led by real estate scoundrels who think they can make a “deal” to resolve international conflicts such as those in Ukraine and West Asia by buying out all of the parties involved. That is all that Trump and his cronies like Witkoff and Kushner know and understand. This approach to international relations is not working, for all the reasons that Alastair Crooke gives in this deep analysis. He says that the Ukraine war is fundamentally driven by financial interests, with major institutions like Rothschild & Co. and BlackRock heavily invested in Ukrainian debt and reconstruction. This “real estate project” approach ignores the deep-seated historical and cultural factors at play, as well as Russia’s core security interests. European states hold hundreds of billions in Ukrainian bonds and have guaranteed IMF and World Bank loans to Ukraine. A collapse of Ukraine or repudiation of its debt could lead to a significant fiscal crisis in Europe. Alastair states that Rothschild is the principal advisor to the Ministry of Finance in Kiev and is responsible for all of Ukraine’s bonds, which amount to more than 200 billion and are primarily held in Europe and some in America. He also notes that Rothschild is “looking after all of the debtors” Furthermore, he says that Rothschild manages these bonds, which have seen their value increase from around 20 cents on the dollar to 50 cents or more due to hopes of peace in Ukraine, allowing investors to make a significant amount of money.

When it comes to the actual balance of military power, Iran has vastly beefed up its defensive capacity with a new type of radar from China. China has provided Iran with long-range radar systems, specifically YC8B radars, which can detect stealth planes at a distance of 700 kilometers. This capability effectively “excludes” stealth aircraft like F-35s from being undetected, impacting the ability of the US or Israel to conduct covert air operations. This constitutes an “unseen deterrence” because these radars change the entire balance of war by making stealth aircraft non-functional due to their low-frequency detection system, which body shapes and coatings cannot circumvent. This advanced radar system, combined with an integrated network of real-time targeting data from Chinese satellites, allows Iran to receive highly accurate targeting data (within 2 meters accuracy) directly to its missile centers, enabling precise targeting of American ships or other assets. An attack on Iran would be extremely risky and should be militarily out of the question. But Israel is nothing without US support, and the meeting on Tuesday was a desperate call for US support that they are worried is draining away. Trump did not agree to Netanyahu’s demand for US war with Iran. He is delaying an actual attack until the USS Ford gets there, which could take as much as a month. Whether the Zionist billionaires will be able to push him into war is an open question.
