The US-Zio Axis Alliance: When You Cannot Win, But You Cannot lose
Senselessness, stupidity and the civilisation that will not succumb
Some holes are self-dug. Some problems are utterly and irredeemably someone’s own stupid fault. Some enjoy no sympathy from the wider world for the fact they have crossed lines that should not be crossed over and over. Some circles can never be squared no matter how hard you try and you only make everything worse for trying.
All of this stands over and around the US-Israeli Axis Alliance that cannot overcome Iran in war but cannot accept it in peace.
The Unwinnable
One war that promised so much but delivered so little for its instigators over 12 days in June of 2025. Then, a second war a scalar order more ferocious and massive than the first, that cost billions per day and may cost into the trillions when the dust settles, a war that has killed tens of thousands, that has massacred little children, that has torpedoed the global economy and world order alike. And what does the US-Israeli tag team see every single time they shake the snow globe: the great civilisation of Arya staring back resolutely and standing tall midst the murder and chaos.
Play it any way they like, there seems to be no way the Alliance can wrestle down the Iranian lion without someone getting mortally wounded and/or without burning down the whole circus.
These truths are known by the majority of western publics.
The war on Iran is the most unpopular war in modern American history. Just one third of the US public believes President Trump has a clear idea of how to handle the conflict with Iran and the scepticism continues to grow more pointed.
The same public opposition continues into Europe and Australia. Even western governments wanted no part of the US-Israeli war on Iran, and considering many of them have backed and continue to back Israel in its holocaust of Gaza and the US in one mad military adventure after another, this should tell us all we need to know about the wicked concoction of equal parts senselessness and danger we have on our hands.
Why is Iran so hard to defeat? A mixture of Iran itself, the wider conditions and maximalist goals of the US-Israel, and the poverty of planning, preparation and strategy that has blighted the latter.
The Iranian State is a far more robust, resilient, coherent and cohesive prospect than anything the United States has been up against in a long time. It is twice the size of Iraq and has 4 times the population that its neighbour had back in 2003. It has been developing its ‘decentralised mosaic’ doctrine for decades to cope specifically with the United States and attempts to decapitate its leadership. Iran learned a lot during its 12-day war with Israel and demonstrated it had figured out how to pick away at the chinks in the armour of the Iron Dome defence system.
As the second war progressed, Iran’s strike rate and success in attacking Israel grew steadily. It has been able to hit sensitive sites like the city of Dimona, situated close to where Israel stores its nuclear arsenal. Iran has also taken full advantage of the Strait of Hormuz, what writer and activist Ahmed Eldin has called Tehran’s weapon of mass destruction.
There is a Persian Gulf between the sides as regards military muscle, but the Islamic Republic has been doing everything to make the gap count for naught for a long time.
Not a lot needs to be said here of the maximalist goals set by the tag team – they pushed to topple the Iranian State and install some kind of puppet government – or the wider conditions – the world economy, global and regional political stability and the very real possibility of WW3. Likewise, not a lot here needs to be said of the chaos and volatility that have wormed their way through the words and actions of America-Israel on a daily basis. I have written about both in a number of pieces, as have countless others. Both aspects are common knowledge.
Overall, we have a powerful, well-prepared and highly-motivated state locked in an existential battle for survival up against a much more powerful duumvirate of states who are suffering from a severe paucity of planning and preparation, and who are unclear on what they want from day to day, how to achieve whatever it is they want and whether they have the firepower to outlast Iranian willpower, ingenuity and guile.
The Unlosable
Faced with such insurmountables, the easiest thing for the US to do was to do nothing, as I cautioned in a piece released a few hours before the tag team launched its second offensive against Arya within the space of a year.
The most sensible tack was to get back to the negotiation table and hammer out a deal with Iran. According to Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, Iran had already made significant concessions in negotiations with Washington and ‘major, important and unprecedented progress’ had been made.
Some would have made a song and dance about the US kowtowing to Tehran and thrown hissy fits that the US was kicking the can down the road. Netanyahu and Israel wouldn’t have been happy of course too. But Trump could have prevailed by remaining firm and appealing to good sense. But Trump isn’t strong enough or sensible enough and Israel’s thirst for murder, mayhem and lunacy is too strong.
Badr al-Busaidi likewise remarked that Iran and the United had been on the ‘verge of a real deal’ and blamed Israel for it falling apart. Prime Minister Bibi appeared from the shadows digging his claws in and working his dark magic, and President Trump lacking the necessary backbone and fortitude of the frontal cortex succumbed to the madness.
Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken of Iran as the epicentre of evil for decades. He has called it an ‘apocalyptic, messianic cult’ on multiple occasions, as he has compared it to Nazi Germany on multiple occasions. For Bibi, the future of Western civilisation depends on preventing the Islamic Republic of Iran from getting nuclear weapons. His pronouncements and imprecations teem with fire-and-brimstone Manichaeism, and he frequently invokes Jewish religio-mythological imagery, conflating modern-day Iran with Amalek, an age-old Biblical mortal foe.
The never-ending ferocity of Israel against both Palestine and its neighbours, the 21st-century holocaust of Gaza and the mind-bending monstrousness of Israeli crimes against humanity, squeeze out any single droplet of doubt – there is only one genocidal, apocalyptical, death cult and it is the State of Israel. I discuss this in more depth in the article below.
Will the Real Messianic Apocalyptic Death Cult Please Stand Up?
In 2009 and multiple times since, Benjamin Netanyahu called Iran a messianic apocalyptic cult, and said that the future of Western Civilisation depended on stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Netanyahu’s hate for Iran is likely real, but he has weaponised and instrumentalised it for his own ends. He has a very long history of claiming that Iran is developing nuclear weapons and that this represents a danger of the first order to all. He wants the Western World to think, the US most especially, that Iran is building nuclear missiles, that this is one of the worst things that can happen, and that along with this being one of the worst things that can happen, it will also equally affect Israel and the United States.
The only true element here is that Benjamin Netanyahu has being doing this for a very long time; everything else is a lie.
It has been proven again and again by multiple sources that Iran has not been developing nuclear arms over the past decades.
There is also little reason to think Iran represents any kind of existential threat to anyone. This is true in and of itself as a standalone supposition, but it becomes far more compelling as a truth when we compare Iran as a state, its actions and inferred values, with Israel, as a state, its actions and inferred values. The most destructive, most bloodthirsty, least restrained and least rational state on the planet has access to a generous pile of the most dangerous weapons humanity has ever produced; a state that pales by comparison in every category does not.
This is a no-brainer for anyone with a brain, but 25 years of fearmongering has muddied the waters.
Lastly, were a nuclear Iran to be a danger to anyone, history, geography, technology and politics all say it would not be an equal danger to Israel and the United States of America.
There is a rational component to the Zionists’ obsession with monstrifying Iran. Israel wants to protect its Qualitative Military Edge in the Middle East at all costs. Iran is the only real military competitor to Israel across the Middle East.
This rational element, however, has been completely swamped by Israel’s ideological compulsions and excesses. Reasonable self-interest has sublimated so fully into maniacal delusion and full-blown psychopathy that Netanyahu and his zealots are creating the very conditions they are seemingly so desperate to prevent.
Case in point: the assassination of one of the main forces standing against the development of a nuclear weapon in Iran and the very person who put an injunction out against them, the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Whether one fully believes the fatwa against them was wholly genuine, the Supreme Leader’s deep public opposition to them means a lot in Iranian society.
Israel’s genocidal messianism and its supreme sense of self turned it into the homeowner who would defend his property by killing everyone in the neighbourhood, most especially the only neighbour with the balls to stand up to him. This is combining with President Trump’s weakness and fecklessness, and the power of the pro-Israel lobby to spin the wheels of political power in America, to produce a chronic and self-renewing surge towards complete and utter senselessness.
Facing this senselessness is an Iran that is highly unlikely to succumb. We can expect the whole thing to spin around for some time longer, until such a time as it all explodes and we get massive escalation, or until such a time when something breaks in the US-Israeli Axis Alliance and America finally comes to its senses.

I’m not convinced about the Epstein files.. maybe.. Israel seems to have more than its fair share of paedophiles and is not shy about sending them out in the world for trade and holidays. Still, we will probably never know why Trump is so willing to do Netanyahu’s bidding.
The situation with Trump is shaky what with his mental and physical decline, but my mother used to say a creaking gate hangs longest. I wonder what the it would look like without him as the figurehead?
I’m still very impressed with Tehran although the Gulf States worry me. I suppose there’s not a lot of the American war machine that’s near enough otherwise.
I think there’s a way to go for the Axis of Resistance to achieve its various goals. I’m glad Lebanon and Gaza are still being mentioned but Israel is relentless. Shame Iran is too principled to blast them, as they are sticking to their reacting to US actions.
Thanks, Shane, for this grand analysis. But Israel isn't a house owner, it's a house squatter. And that makes the whole situation as worse as it is. The whole Middle-East conflict is based on this important nuance. There has been conflicts already up-front but the real problem was the initialization of the so called state of Israel. And all problems were driven and caused by Zionist.
