On August 5th, Sergei Shoigu, who recently was promoted from being Russia’s Minister of Defense, to the post of Secretary of the Security Council, met in Tehran with Iran’s President and other top Iranian officials, and agreed to supply to Iran the world’s 2nd-best air-defense systems, the S-400 Triumph systems, from Russia (second-best only to the S-500 system, which is in shorter supply). Right now, Iran is still awaiting the installation and setup of these systems, and that’s why Iran hasn’t yet attacked Israel after those assassinations.
The S-400 is considered by all experts that I have consulted, to be highly likely to be effective against the two main categories of weapons that the U.S. is preparing to unleash against Iran, by the hundreds, when Iran will respond to those assassinations: Tomahawk missiles, and stealth F-35 and F-22 fighter jets. The Tomahawks are not stealth, and they are subsonic (very slow), but they have the advantage of flying very close to the ground and thus being undetectable by most radars. However, the S-400 Triumph’s radar can track all altitudes, and its missiles fly at a large multiple of the Tomahawk’s speed, and so the system is well suited to hitting Tomahawks. A single S-400 can simultaneously engage 36 targets; and, so, perhaps 10 to 20 S-400s will be needed in order for Iran to deal with the hundreds of missiles and planes that will likely soon be coming Iran’s way in a few days from the U.S. forces. Israel might also be sending its own planes and missiles there, but not likely if Hezbollah in Lebanon unleashes simultaneously against Israel their tens of thousands of missiles, in which case, this would be at least a two-front war for Israel, and so, quite possibly, not predictable as to its ultimate outcome. It might be a victory by Israel against Hezbollah but a victory by Iran against the U.S.; or else it could be a victory by the U.S. against Iran but a defeat of Israel by Hezbollah; or else the Iran-Russia alliance could either win or lose together against the Israel-U.S. alliance together. But the outcome — whatever it would be — could have massive future international repercussions, for each one of the four parties that are involved in it. Furthermore: if not only the U.S. but also Israel end up losing, then that might quickly terminate America’s being the world’s #1 power; so, that would be the biggest upset ever since America became the unchallengeable #1 power when the Soviet Union broke up in 1991.
If Israel responds to the missiles from both Iran and Hezbollah by dropping one or more nuclear bombs upon Iran, then either that possibility has already been discussed between American and Russian officials and they will have together anticipated and come to an agreement about what will happen after; or else, they won’t have come to any such mutual agreement; and, if the latter is the case, then either what will come after it will be WW3 between America and Russia, or else America will be abandoning Israel at that point, because, in that situation, the U.S. officials would need to decide whether continuing its alliance with Israel would be worth escalating this matter into becoming a world-annihilating war. If the answer to that question is no, then the entire world, except for perhaps the farthest-rightwing Israelis, will suddenly become greatly relieved to find that there is a limit to how insane America’s leaders are.
In point of fact: the U.S. Government has NO treaty or other ‘legal’ obligation to escalate at that point to WW3. There isn’t even a ‘NATO Treaty’ type of such U.S. obligation regarding Israel. If the U.S. Government chooses at that point to do so (escalate to WW3), it would be entirely optional — not at all obligatory, in any sense.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

I doubt that Israel would let the nuclear genie out of the bottle. I suspect most Khazars would prefer to just resume their exploitation of naive and gullible gentiles (goyim) across the globe.
The Samson Option is real, as was/is the Hannibal Directive.
Read about Masada, where the Jews boiled and ate their own children and then murdered each other to keep from surrendering.
Israel is a psychopathic state of radical zionists and needs to be finished once and for all.
The Romans in 70 AD knew how to deal with them.
Keep in mind that the Khazars (Ashkenazi) today are not the Sephardic Jews of Roman times. And the Ashkenazis are the ones who rule the roost and call the shots. Sure, they like to have their gang headquarters in Israel so they can avoid complete intermarriage, but I doubt that they are ready for “The Armageddon Option” to preserve it. I think it is becoming clear that the “Greater Israel” project is dead in the water and they will either have to “get along” or “get out”. Since Americans and Europeans are so enamored with them they will have no… Read more »

Eric is obviously still clueless as to ((( Who ))) controls the U.S. Government.
“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.”
I suspect it is “deliberate avoidance” rather than ignorance.
Of course Wall Street drives everything that the failed, former, and 100% disgraced United States does. Wall Street and its bankers ***are*** the United States. In my opinion, the question is whether the trillionaire detritus who litter Wall Street truly want a major worldwide conflagration. Personally, I am still uncertain about that. And I think that level of uncertainty is where we are presently mired. I believe western Elites do wish to see the world’s population greatly reduced – however they are cautious too about the eventuality that their own numbers could be greatly reduced – or even annihilated as… Read more »
One additional advantage of the S400 is the fact that it is compatible with the existing S300 that Iran currently has, so basically, the existing S300 system will be incorporated into the S400 system. An advantage that the West does not bother with, meaning that any upgrade usually means the old systems have to be scraped. Good for profits, but not performance militarily.
I didn’t know that. Good information.
Excellent point about the S400’s. As an interesting aside, S400’s operated in Syria have been programmed in a way that prevents them from targeting USraeli F35’s. (Many have challenged my allegation about that but it is true.) Anyway, Iran’s S400’s must be programmed to target all USraeli aircraft and will be fascinating / historic to see if any are indeed shot down when Israel engages in its further aggression versus Iran. Iran will also need the Pantsir and anti-drone EW tech that it presently does not have (according to some reports) before pursuing justice versus the Satanic State. Most interesting… Read more »
