We are living in a change of era. This means that we are going to face dangerous times. A whole framework of certainties, habits and securities unravels before our gaze. But it must be warned: that same framework whose retreat and breakdown gave us peace of mind, also kept us alienated and in a narcotized state. It was the framework of “North Americanism”.

The selective and effective control of the Strait of Hormuz means, as a unique historical fact, the great “counter-sanction” of a rebel state, such as the Persian, to the imperialism of the United States.

The situation we are experiencing is unprecedented. Until now, the peoples of the world who resisted the Western Empire could only handle the cards of the guerrillas, play the card of caudillismo or the anti-imperialist revolutionary party. To do so meant, no more and no less, than to face the sanctions and blockades imposed by the Western Empire, going hungry and narrow, circumventing supply blockades, becoming martyrs and heroes of anti-imperialism. The Persian resistance is of a different kind.

The United States has not properly won a war since 1945, if we understand war as a conventional military conflict. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, speak to the world and are eloquent monuments of the military failure of the Americans. The strategy of “bombing from the sky, very high, and then running” is more like the strategy of the terrorist group than that of an imperial army. When the Yankees try to occupy medium and large countries inhabited by hostile populations, they are inefficient. In the end, the  Yankee modus operandi is the same as that of the army of the Zionist Entity, but on a grand scale and with a planetary scope: they have sophisticated technology and asymmetry of forces. They easily kill civilians, but not guerrilla fighters. The lesson is that in wars the will to resist also counts, not just the will to power.

The Iranians have conscientiously prepared the technology suitable for asymmetric warfare, as well as nurtured the will to resist, which is a very intense variant of the will to power. Its ballistic operation and its swarms of drones are already, in themselves, a revolution in the art of war. They manufacture cheaply and mass-produced, quickly replenished the arsenal, hid it underground, distributed it in mosaic and also in mosaic managed the defense and replicas. The government of the Persian nation, in reality, cannot be “beheaded”.

Like the Chinese government, it is a collegial, highly structured government where the conjunctural leadership of a person is always subordinated to the qualified college that maintains the command structures. This type of command structure quickly corrects the eternal problem of the emergence of traitors and opportunists, as probably happened in China in recent weeks, where Xi’s purge stopped this type of element. In the past, the submission and overthrow of regimes “not homologated” with the “liberal” democracy of the United States (Perón, Franco, socialist caudillos, etc.) was always possible due to the existence of traitors and opportunists within the structures. We recently saw it in Venezuela.

Iran is practicing the great “counter-sanction.” To pass through Hormuz and have a guaranteed energy supply, you do not have to be hostile to the Persian nation, otherwise, even aircraft carriers can suffer impacts and, eventually, be sunk. The question I want to ask myself, even schematically, is the following: how is all this perceived in Spain? What implications – objective and subjective – does this new scenario, unprecedented in history, entail, according to which the Western Empire is now the sanctioned one? After 80 years of punishing the wayward, now it is the Americans and their vassals who are punished.

The Kingdom of Spain has been, since 1953, a vassal state with no room for manoeuvre in its international policy. Geopolitically speaking, it is a zero to the left. The control of the Strait of Gibraltar, which is to say the control of the entire Western Mediterranean and its coastal countries, is the responsibility of the British and Moroccans, unbreakable allies of the United States, who also have the base of Rota and others located in Spanish territory.

Since Morocco’s independence, the Americans have already had a direct line for the transmission of information and coordination with the North African sultanate. The latter, which has never abandoned its expansionist pretensions to the detriment of Spain, is now also Israel’s preferred partner. It is vital for the Americans and the Zionists that this Strait is not closed. If the Red Sea, Hormuz and Gibraltar were closed simultaneously, the Zionist Entity would be like a small rat fallen into a mousetrap.

The vassal status of the Kingdom of Spain means that the current selective closure of Hormuz puts it in a most vulnerable situation. Almost broken ties with Algeria, the traditional energy supplier of the Spaniards, and an enemy of the Moroccans, and also the protector of the Saharawi people (abandoned to their fate by Spain), the government in Madrid is in the worst situation imaginable, as it will lack gas and oil. Diplomatically and rhetorically hostile to Trump, the Yankee president can “let the dogs loose” on Sánchez.

And those biting dogs are the Zionists (who have already spied on the Spanish president via Morocco and via Pegasus software) and, much more immediately, the Moroccan sultan is the one who can release the animals of prey. The “green marches” on Ceuta, Melilla and the Canary Islands, as an echo and remembrance of the other one that involved the conquest of Western Sahara half a century ago, can be reactivated at any time with the approval of the White House.

The Kingdom of Spain will have two problems at once: a migratory invasion that a non-existent “international community” will never want to call conquest, with all the technological support that the Maghrebi can provide the Zionist Entity and the Yankee Empire. But a “rudeness to Trump”, in turn, cannot fool the Iranian power, which is in real war and not rhetorical, stubbornly resists and is no longer in the mood for jokes.

Spain cannot fool the Persians: it is a NATO member state, a submissive executor of Franco-German dictates. The elites of the Spanish partitocracy are sold out to the great financial powers and the great lobbies operating in Western Europe, lobbies that have been working for their own interests for decades. They will never dissociate themselves from their “commitments” in Brussels, both in the bureaucratic structures of the EU and in the military structures of NATO.

This situation is disastrous: officially, the Spaniards align themselves as enemies of Iran, and at the moment of truth they will have to contribute (scarcely and reluctantly, but contribute in the end) to the Yankee-Zionist war “against evil”. But, in turn, the lazy and minimally fractious vassal will be punished. Spain is very vulnerable on the southern flank, where Trump can move his dog of prey that is Morocco. Morocco will punish an EU and NATO country in the name of Trump and Netanyahu: it sounds unheard of, but in the current context it is plausible. Millions of Moroccans will cross the border and join those already living inside, blowing up the cultural identity of Spaniards and bursting the box of subsidies for aliens.

In my opinion, Spain is not going to get anything positive out of this situation. Quite the contrary. The alleged “confrontation” between Sánchez and Trump is purely demagogic. The socialist government of Pedro Sánchez is beset by too many corruption scandals, which supposedly involve “bribes”, influence peddling, sex trade, favored deals, illegal financing of the Party, and a long etc. In Spain, the forces of the left are in a process of decomposition and fragmentation that, to date, seems irreversible. In this context, Sánchez intends – very skilfully so far – to be a new Phoenix, capable of attracting the remains of the leftist shipwreck, and imposing the slogan “no one to the left of me”, adopting the pose of a catalyst and rescuer of the battered Spanish left. Hence, “no to war, and no to Trump” pays off.

It is repeating the hypocritical move of remembering the Gaza catastrophe and paying lip service to the Zionist Entity that perpetrates it, while arms and other contracts are still active. Spain is a country absolutely penetrated by Jewish and Christian-Zionist capital, so it really has no room for manoeuvre. When they really want it, the pincers of Washington, Rabat and Tel-Aviv will burst the Spanish nut. Even the Catholic Church and its media projections are at the Hebrew command, which explains its silences, its complicities, its discourses on “Judeo-Christianity” and the enormous logistical and assistance support (for example the NGO “Caritas”) to the silent invasion of the Iberian Peninsula. The right wing of the PP and VOX is, for its part and in its vast majority, in favour of this hypocritical rhetoric: that of not disturbing Morocco too much, so as not to irritate its master, Zionism (both Hebrew and Christian).

On the other hand, the external factor is also played very skilfully by Pedro Sánchez. A review of the “progressive” digital press of the Western world, especially in Europe, points to it as a brave and noble exception, in the face of the submissive behavior to the Yankees of Meloni, Macron, Merz, etc. There is no such courage: Sánchez wants to save his political skin, he wants to gain abroad a prestige that he has lost very much within his country.

In reality, neither he nor his government partners (SUMAR, which is like the “white label” of the Socialist Party known only for holding office, as well as the Catalan and Basque separatists) have never considered contesting NATO membership, the expulsion of Yankee bases, geopolitical alignment against the Franco-German Axis, or anything like that. Sánchez presents himself to the external public (especially those of Latin America and Western Europe) as the refounder of Social Democracy, when in reality he is the most faithful applicator of neoliberal, Atlanticist and Europeanist policies. In Brussels he is a political dwarf, and the US administration deeply despises him (that is, when there is an official in Washington who has heard of him).

The Spanish people, to a great extent, are ignorant of what is happening. It ignores that its National Sovereignty has been usurped on successive occasions: in 1953, when Franco ceded the bases to the Yankees; in 1973, when the Americans executed Carrero Blanco through the ETA; in 1981, with the “attempt” of a coup d’état; in 2004, with the bombs on the trains in Madrid. Spanish Sovereignty has been intervened numerous and successive times. The people have been sold the idea that “Western” (that is, American-morphic) is synonymous with progress, modernity, well-being, plethoric consumption. To a very large extent, today’s Spaniards are a people manipulated in a very effective way, to sadistic extremes. Its tradition and identity have been torn from it and there is hardly any organized opposition to the 1978 Regime.

When the energy shortages that the Iranians will impose as a “counter-sanction” is palpable and tightening, reactions may come. At the moment, they are not visible. In the same way, the other phenomenon that is closely connected to this one, that is, that of the migratory invasion is getting worse (yes, it can go further, although it may seem incredible), there may also be consequences now barely detected: xenophobia, altercations, a climate of ethnic civil war. It should be borne in mind that the migratory pincer is a Moroccan specialty, but to it can be added the contingents of authentic refugees who will flee from the Middle East, where there will be no one alive (their rich masters will have fled) and will want to come to Europe through the bridgehead that is the Strait of Gibraltar. The proximity to Africa will always be the curse of Spain.

Spain has gotten into a geopolitical mousetrap: the EU and NATO. It is a mousetrap to want to live wishing to be a vassal and a colonized nation. The people will find what they deserve: they have wanted to live well under the protection of a mafia. When he reacts, it will be late, and with a lot of suffering. Only the shell of the walnut will remain of Spain. And broken.
