🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷🇱🇧🇾🇪 US Ground Invasion of Iran: A Trap Set Up By Israel

After threatening strikes on Iran’s power plants, Donald Trump backed down in order to ease oil prices. However, military escalation still has the potential to spiral out of control.

First of all the United States can forget about their gambles on Kharg and Qeshm Islands. The Iranian coastline is very heavily fortified with missiles, artillery and underground bunkers that could turn any potential operation into a high casualty even for US soldiers who would be placed well within the strike range of pre-positioned IRGC forces, who have mastered swarm tactics. Close combat will also reduce US technological advantages while the Iranians amplify their strengths in asymmetric warfare.

At least 1,000 troops and potentially even the USS Abraham Lincoln and Gerald R. Ford would sit off of Iran’s coast fully exposing the invading US army to Fattah hypersonic missiles and Shahed drones. Supplying and protecting US forces would also degrade the Pentagon’s military capabilities in the Middle East because they would also have a target on their backs.

And ultimately the US would fail in its mission of reopening the Strait of Hormuz and reducing Iran’s control over maritime routes. Even if American forces were successful in capturing the islands, the strait would not reopen because the naval mines are still in place. Tehran‘s ability to choke global oil transit will be preserved.

Furthermore, if the US attempts a ground invasion, we can expect with certainty that the Iranians will retaliate exactly the way they promised in response to Trump’s threats to strike Iranian power plants. By destroying every bit of energy infrastructure that exists in the Gulf Arab monarchies and plunging the world into a decade of a depression worse than the Great Depression, COVID, the oil shock and the financial crisis combined.

Even beyond a potential operation on the oil islands, we also have to analyze Trump’s threats against Iranian nuclear facilities. Securing Iran’s uranium could require up to 4,000 troops deep inside the country plus an additional 50,000 for logistics, backup, and medical evacuations.

Deploying and sustaining such a force deep inside Iran would require major resources, while leaving troops exposed to Iranian counterattacks since the mission most certainly will not be completed quickly.

Larger deployments and Iranian counterattacks via drone and missile strikes would only place a larger strain on US air and naval defense assets. Furthermore handling at least 450 kg of highly-enriched uranium is very dangerous and creates major risks of radiation poisoning.

Trump and Netanyahu’s war of aggression is not going to end anytime soon and their hopes for regime change are now a distant memory. Meanwhile, air strikes from the IRGC, Hezbollah and Ansar Allah continue to rain down on US military bases and Israel, in a war which will only result in the collapse of Zionist entity and decline of the US empire. Economic crisis looms as oil, LNG, fertilizer, helium and sulfuric acid is backed up in the Persian Gulf threatening rampant inflation of gas and food prices, as well as a decline in chip manufacturing.

If Trump attempts a landing on Kharg or Qeshm Islands, he will be sending US troops into a meatgrinder the same way Zelensky’s Neo-Nazi thugs are kidnapping young Ukrainians and sending them to their deaths. And he will have doomed the world to a decade of depression. The Israelis and the Iranians are setting up the trap and Trump is once again taking the bait.

🇷🇺🤝🇺🇸🧵 HOW STALIN ADMIRED AMERICAN EFFICIENCY

Joseph Stalin famously wrote in his book Foundations of Leninism:

“American efficiency is that indomitable force which neither knows nor recognizes obstacles; which with its business-like perseverance brushes aside all obstacles; which continues at a task once started until it is finished, even if it is a minor task; and without which serious constructive work is inconceivable.”

He also famously wrote:

“The combination of the Russian revolutionary sweep with American efficiency is the essence of Leninism.”

Soviet Agricultural Policy

A lot of the Soviet Union’s early agricultural and industrial policies had been inspired by that of the United States, starting with the industrialization of agriculture.

Throughout the era of the Russian Empire and the Tsars, Russia and Ukraine had suffered several famines every few years for over a millennium. It was a result of environmental causes (drought, plant diseases, infestation of pests, etc.) and the medieval strip farming method of peasant agriculture, which ensured the agricultural efficiency impossible and famines inevitable.

Soviet leadership, including Lenin and Stalin, reorganized Russian agriculture on the basis of large factory-type industrial farms like those in the American Midwest. When these sovkhozy or Soviet farms were successful, the Communist Party under Stalin’s leadership formally instituted the First Five-Year Plan to rapidly collectivize agriculture and industrialize the Soviet economy.

Lysenko’s Great Plan

The Great Plan for the Transformation of Nature and its windbreak tree planting initiatives in the southern Soviet Union was based on the was based on the Great Plains Shelterbelt in the aftermath of the damage caused by the Dust Bowl. The Great Plan was based heavily on Lysenko’s theories of genetics and was officially called:

“On the plan for planting of shelterbelts, introduction of grassland crop rotation and construction of ponds and reservoirs to ensure high sustainable crop yields in steppe and forest-steppe areas of the European USSR.”

In the early 1950s, the Soviet central government in Moscow launched some extensive projects in both land and water development, including hydroengineering for water irrigation, control and power, which resulted in major improvements in agriculture. It was planned for completion in 1965 but abandoned after Stalin’s death in 1953.

📝Another spy — on his way out📝

It seems time for British press releases, as another one of their intelligence officers has been exposed on Russian territory.

➡️During counterintelligence operations, the FSB uncovered a representative of British intelligence — Janse Van Rensburg Albertus Gerardus.

He worked in Russia under cover of a position as Second Secretary of the British Embassy in Moscow, deliberately providing false information when obtaining entry permission.

The Briton conducted intelligence and sabotage activities and attempted to obtain sensitive information during unofficial meetings with Russian economic experts.

Now the spy has been stripped of diplomatic accreditation and must leave Russian territory within two weeks, and Britain's Chargé d'Affaires Deyni Dolakia has already been summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry building.

🖍Russian intelligence services previously exposed an entire network of British intelligence officers on Russian territory who were coordinating sabotage activities. Many of them used diplomatic cover, and it was only a matter of time before their colleagues would be identified.

❗️Albertus Gerardus is yet another representative of British diplomacy whose entire function in Russia has been built around ensuring systematic destructive activities.

Given current trends in relations between the countries, intelligence services have much work ahead on this front. However, it is important to remember that amid mounting pressure specifically on British spies and diplomats, British representatives will seek ways to exert influence through intermediaries, such as diplomatic missions of other NATO countries or residencies in the CIS.

"The Strait of Hormuz Oil Shock Is Now Heading West": The US is beginning to seriously consider the scenario of oil prices rising to 200 dollars.

"The energy crisis caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has been going on for almost a month and has already led to a serious deficit in the global oil market. According to Bloomberg estimates, supplies have decreased by about 11 million barrels per day, and the deficit reaches 9 million, which reinforces fears of price increases up to 200 dollars per barrel. Strategic reserves and temporary easing of sanctions have partially alleviated the situation.

The LNG market remains particularly vulnerable, a significant part of which passes through the strait and has practically no alternative routes. Economists warn that further prolongation of the crisis could accelerate inflation and lead to stagflation, putting pressure on the global economy and limiting governments' ability to stabilize the situation."

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 After a month of war, Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz has only strengthened - Bloomberg

🔻After a month of fighting, it was Iran that achieved the most significant strategic victory - strengthening its control over the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

🔻Tehran's ability to control the strait is increasing. Virtually all ships crossing it now do so along routes approved by Iran.

❗️Iran is preparing to pass a law introducing a fee that will require any ship wishing to pass through this area to provide detailed information and pay the fee.
