No one believes the US war against Iran is over. Rightly so. In reality, contemporary wars never truly end. In the American-Zionist war against Iran, as in those that preceded it or are continuing in Palestine and Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, the Turks against the Kurds, the Russians against the Ukrainians, and dozens of others scattered around the world, no one will know for certain who wins and who loses, except the populations (obviously, they all lose) subjected to the tyrannical and unstable will of their rulers-masters. Their ultimate goal is not armed pacification or the peace of the graves, nor even the mirage of reconstruction.
Uncertainty and instability dominate, harbingers of future wars and constant armed threats, even against the very enemies who have just been pacified.Uncertainty appeals to big finance, speculators, the stock markets (which, in fact, have not suffered major losses in recent months), warlords and "armed peace" advocates (those dictatorships, from China to India, from the Gulf States to Pakistan, who have carved out a role as intermediaries in exchange for billions of dollars in contracts), the Europe of "truffles" who enrich themselves with oil and weapons, the great monotheistic religions who use it to fuel invocations to their fetish gods and provide followers, scattered throughout governments around the world, with useful arguments to justify their "just" wars. And last but not least, the large private tech companies, poised to take control of the world economy and sacrifice humanity on the counter of the free digital market, where "free" means without rules, without controls, and without moral obligations.
Instability is instrumental to the new course of imperial and predatory capitalism, which has learned to exploit wars while avoiding, as was once the case, their serious repercussions in terms of market fluctuations, financial collapses, inflation, and uncontrolled price increases. Capitalism no longer fears these side effects because, thanks to algorithms, it can control and remedy them relatively quickly.
Permanent, covert warfare also allows for what until recently was unheard of and unspeakable: the massacres of civilians, the use of unconventional weapons, the collapse of free information, the violation of human rights as a rule, the undermining of international law and major humanitarian agencies, the inconsistency of the UN and nuclear non-proliferation treaties, and even the progressive weakening of military alliances that in the second half of the twentieth century served as a false deterrent to world wars.
Now, at most, we might see the United States and China swapping spheres of influence (Cuba, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and much of Latin America for one, Taiwan and Southeast Asia for the other), anticipating a "head-on collision" that Pentagon analysts predicted mid-century, but which armed AI, the decline of classical capitalism supported by nation-states, and the current climate of permanent war are paradoxically contributing to postponing. This is the path to the next wars of aggression, direct or indirect, with naval blockades and the decapitation of government elites: Cuba and Greenland, undoubtedly, with Taiwan to follow.
What prevails is no longer direct conflict between states, which once primarily aimed at political regime change, but rather the conflict fomented by high-tech potentates, in league with their peers in the energy and weapons sectors, to plunder the resources of others and exponentially expand their own businesses. Through dedicated technological innovations, they are also subjugating the great powers of the West and the East, increasingly in decline and beset by the myriad crises (democratic, economic, demographic, ecological, climatic, etc.) that dot their existence.
What glimmers of hope can be glimpsed in such a dark and desolate picture? Dominant capitalism, but also neo-digital capitalism, present fundamental contradictions within themselves that they have not yet managed to resolve. These can translate into fragilities of all kinds, such as those that emerged in the war against Iran at the mere mention of the blockade of the Straits of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, or in bombing the oil and gas wells of the Gulf countries with "do-it-yourself drones", or in mining their desalination plants, or in threatening to cut the submarine cables that govern Internet traffic throughout the Middle East. To these, the most macroscopic, can be added many others, smaller in scale and more easily accessible, such as disrupting satellite or MUOS communications, which can nevertheless cause significant damage and paralyze important parts of the system. It falls to the revolutionaries of the new millennium to identify them, understand them, penetrate them, and finally cause them to explode Brasil, Bento Goncalves/RS, OSL: or implode Brasil, Bento Goncalves/RS, OSL: devastatingly.
