Unfortunately for the so-called West, its “champion”, the USA, has begun to behave like a common swindler, a thug who beats up the weakest students in the school hallways and steals their lunch. Simply because he can’t stop being hungry and simply because he can!
Today, the USA is participating in a completely illegal, unjustified, immoral and internationally destructive war against Iran, mainly because it helps Israel’s expansionist plans.
This war is costing the USA. It is costing a lot. But what has the two of them achieved, in real events and not in hypothetical analyses, in attacking Iran?
1. It destroyed all the US bases and radars in the Gulf
And along with them, it also destroyed the defense relations of the Gulf countries with the US, which until now believed that these bases would also serve their own security. This result does not at all upset Israel, which is happy about a possible US military withdrawal from the Gulf, since Israel will remain the only actively offensive army in the region and since it can mobilize the US whenever it wants.
2. It stripped the alleged naval superiority of the US
Fleets have always been essential for maintaining an “empire” and the US is a great naval power. However, on the battlefields of the Straits, they did not prove capable of assuming control of the region and the initiative of hostilities. This damage to the US military reputation will have a negative impact on several other areas of American influence, such as the Taiwan issue.
At the same time, a strong blow was also dealt to US-NATO relations, since the Europeans refused to militarily support the war against Iran and the US President, who could not contain his bitterness, called them cowards and useless.
3. It revealed the structural inability of the US to maintain its war machine, since in a very short period of time, its own anti-aircraft missiles, and not those of the “barefoot” Iran, were exhausted.
4. It strengthened the Iranian regime, rallying the people and essentially handed over control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran.
At the same time, it sank to the nadir the credibility of the American and Israeli intelligence services that predicted a rapid overthrow of the “mullahs’ regime” by the suffering Iranians… They had even brought to the public the ridiculous persona of the son of the Shah of Persia and paraded him around on channels and radio stations as a savior, to encourage the overthrow with his “fiery” speeches. His disappearance from the spotlight also proves the course of hostilities and who endures the most, if not wins.
So the US has lost from this war, whatever its final outcome. And it is costing them not only prestige but also financial resources. But this cost was known from the beginning.
And what did the bulimic school bully do? He made sure to steal a lot of breakfast beforehand so that he wouldn’t get too hungry… what are we referring to? Of course, the piracy against Venezuela.
The US machine (military, diplomatic, propaganda and business) worked in concert and swallowed Venezuela in one bite. They told us about bad local leaders, whom the US has some divine mandate to overthrow, they told us about the miserable people of Venezuela, who will now reap the fruits of their wealth and other such beautiful things… The point remains that the US considers Latin America something like its warehouse. They have been undermining and condemning these countries to live in their heavy shadow for decades.
Just ten days ago, on August 18, 2026, the US Deputy Secretary of Energy, Kyle Haustveit, declared that “almost half of Venezuela’s oil production is now exported to the US!!!”
And he declared it with pride. And he declared it as a success of the Trump Administration.
So officially, the Trump administration announced to us that Venezuela is something like an informal province (not even a State) of the US. They take half of the production, that is, 50% of Venezuela’s wealth, and manage it in “refineries built specifically for this crude oil” as he clarified, essentially admitting to the premeditated piracy of Venezuela’s energy resources.
He also said: “this is a beautiful energy partnership. The distance makes sense. It’s an open market. There is real value being created on both sides of the trade. I just don’t think there is a purer partnership.”
Of course, there are many who want to accept that the US is right (about piracy) and that the people in Venezuela are better off now and that such “energy partnerships” are what they have been missing from their miserable lives and so on…
But there are just as many people who believe that the Earth is flat. Just as many who believe that the demolition of Gaza is democracy and justice. Just as many who believe that Greece, a member of NATO and the EU, promotes democracy and Western civilization by having an army to protect Saudi Arabia, which has abolished its Parliament. Anyway, what I am emphasizing in this analysis is that there are many brainwashed people who are willing to believe the stupidity that the media is selling them.
Reality does not change from propaganda, no matter how powerful it is. Only people’s perception of reality changes.
Today the USA is an oil company with an army! And it was probably the same in the past. So what will happen when a company with a very low social profile that everyone on the planet dislikes loses the superiority of its army?
Ask Netanyahu…
