World Hopes “Moderately Alert Housecat” Can Produce “Coherent Grand Strategy” For Trump
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A compelling new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first notes Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova assessed about President Donald Trump: “Finally, a man has arrived in the White House who isn’t talking about other parts of the world or dealing with problems of various population groups on other continents…He is the first in decades to tell the American people – and the world – that America needs to solve a colossal number of colossal problems…This man had it all: Money, fame, popularity, comfort, family – everything he wanted…He was even president…He could have said, ‘From now on, I’ll live for myself’…But instead, he came back and said he’ll run again – not for money, fame, or popularity, but to try to save his country…That gives me additional optimism”.
While President Trump deals with the colossal number of problems he has at home, this report notes, Axios revealed today: “One key question is on President Trump’s mind these days, his advisers say: If the U.S. joins Israel’s war and drops its massive bunker busters, will they actually destroy Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear facility?…Trump’s doubts Wednesday about the certainty of success are one reason he was still questioning whether to move forward with a strike”— the Fordow uranium enrichment site, which is built into a mountain south of Tehran, is at the top of Israel’s target list, but Israel lacks the 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs needed to destroy it from the air, along with the B-2 bomber aircraft to carry them—and yesterday, world-renowned American military scientist Professor Theodore Postol at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that the power of the bunker buster bomb is a propaganda media myth not even able to penetrate the Fordow uranium enrichment site in Iran.
Along with leftist CNN revealing: “U.S. officials think Iran is up to three years away from actually launching a nuclear weapon”, this report continues, United States Senator Mark Warner further revealed: “Senators were briefed this week – following the Israeli strikes – and US spy agencies still find no evidence that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons”—and Director James Acton of the nuclear policy program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace assessed: “If fears of undeclared facilities were a reason to ditch diplomacy, they constitute an even stronger argument against military action…The United States and Israel can’t target what they don’t know about…Iran may have secret facilities, as Mr. Trump feared; if so, it could reconstitute its program rapidly, perhaps within months…Destroying Fordo is relatively easy compared with destroying the cylinders in which highly enriched uranium is typically stored…These cylinders are roughly the same size and shape as scuba tanks…Destroying Iran’s stockpile of centrifuge components could be even more difficult…If they survive, Iran could assemble new centrifuges and continue to produce highly enriched uranium”.
As more failed missile interceptors crash down on Israel than actually fired Iranian missiles, this report details, Iran declared today: “The Zionist regime’s claim that Iran attacked one of the hospitals in the occupied territories is completely false” and announced: “Iranian armed forces carried out the fourteenth phase of Operation True Promise III on Thursday, unleashing a barrage of strategic missiles and suicide drones on Israel”.
Following Israel launching its unprovoked attack to destroy a nuclear arms program that Iran doesn’t even have, this report notes, it was revealed: “At least three transport planes from China flew to Iran in the three days after Israel began attacking Iran’s nuclear program and military command structure, their cargoes and missions unknown”—a revelation followed by the news: “President Donald Trump’s emergency command aircraft was caught making a mysterious flight from Louisiana to Maryland on Tuesday…The Boeing E-4B ‘Nightwatch’, also known as the ‘Doomsday plane,’ serves as a flying command post for key officials during times of crisis, particularly designed to survive a nuclear attack and coordinate military action”—and it was also revealed yesterday: “Iran’s primary presidential plane and two other government airliners have touched down in the Omani capital Muscat”.
Just like the American peoples were propagandized into willingly killing themselves with deadly untested Covid vaccines, this report continues, today they are being propagandized into igniting World War III by attacking Iran, and is why none of them have been told the just released news: “A COVID vaccine database covering 18 million citizens has just been released for the first time…After reviewing the data, a top professor warned: “The more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die”…The most terrifying finding was a deadly spike just 3 to 4 months after the final shot”.
In 1981, this report details, CIA Director William Casey declared to President Ronald Reagan: “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false”—and White House policy assistant Barbara Honegger documented for history: “I am the source for this quote, which was indeed said by CIA Director William Casey at an early February 1981 meeting of the newly elected President Reagan with his new cabinet secretaries to report to him on what they had learned about their agencies in the first couple of weeks of the administration…The meeting was in the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing of the White House, not far from the Cabinet Room…I was present at the meeting as Assistant to the chief domestic policy adviser to the President…Casey first told Reagan that he had been astonished to discover that over 80 percent of the ‘intelligence’ that the analysis side of the CIA produced was based on open public sources like newspapers and magazines… As he did to all the other secretaries of their departments and agencies, Reagan asked what he saw as his goal as director for the CIA, to which he replied with this quote, which I recorded in my notes of the meeting as he said it…Shortly thereafter I told Senior White House correspondent Sarah McClendon, who was a close friend and colleague, who in turn made it public”.
Among those knowing the truth that United States policy is based on leftist mass media propaganda designed to divide the American peoples, this report concludes, are world-renowned war historian Professor David Betz at King’s College London and world-renowned strategic theorist Professor Michael Rainsborough at the Strategic Theory at the Centre for Future Defence and National Security, both of whom, in their just released document “The War In Ukraine Has Shattered The West’s Digital-Age Delusions”, assessed:
For all the breathless commentary, one awkward truth has loitered beneath the surface of the Russia-Ukraine war, which is that most people beyond the immediate theatre of conflict don’t have any clear sense of what’s happening on the ground.
The fog of war has been thickened not only by competing narratives along with fragmentary info-snacking YouTube clips of drone strikes, but by something more persistent — Western wishful thinking.
For nearly three years, a chorus of commentary penned by pundits whose proximity to the war — geographically or intellectually — is open to question have served up a diet long on optimism but short on evidence.
This faith-based commentary sits uneasily alongside the equally confident illusions that once animated post-Cold War Western military thinking. Western politicians and strategists imagined war in the digital age would be light, precise and swift — waged by lean expeditionary forces wielding smart weapons and networked command systems.
The result, they hoped, would be relatively bloodless victories achieved from a polite distance, preferably before lunchtime.
The war in Ukraine has shattered a generation of digital-age delusions. It has exposed the brittle realities beneath Western military thinking and underscored the extent to which the strategic balance has shifted—less due to enemy cunning than to Western self-delusion.
In short, digitalisation — once regarded as the West’s ultimate strategic advantage — has failed to deliver the political returns its proponents anticipated. The concept was deceptively simple: combine precision weaponry with real-time data and operational mobility to achieve swift, efficient and low-cost victories. In the words of one tract in the mid-1990s, the aim is to apply massive shock with minimal force, such that the enemy is stunned into compliance.
What Western strategists often overlooked was a basic fact: adversaries adapt. And many of them have invested not in apps or digital platforms, but in mass, resilience and industrial depth.
The assumption that digital superiority would render conventional war obsolete, where the future of war belongs not to mass armies and tanks, but to decentralised networks and precision strikes’, has not merely proven false — it has been inverted.
Far from dismantling fences and ushering in a frictionless utopia, the digital age has made fortification fashionable again. Border walls, missile shields and fortified strongholds are proliferating. Bunkers are booming — economically, if not always structurally.
And on the battlefield — from Gaza to Donbas — it isn’t data packets, viral hashtags, networks or narratives that are seizing territory. It’s bulldozers, concrete and men in trenches or ankle-deep artillery shell casings.
The war of the future, we were told, would be weightless, networked, almost antiseptic. While it is true that drone warfare has made a dramatic appearance as highly advanced form of surveillance and precision guided artillery, these new technologies have serviced very traditional modes of warfare. Instead of some new conception of war in the digital age, what we got instead was a flashback: steel, trenches and the long, grinding calculus of attrition.
War hasn’t dematerialised. It has reindustrialised — only now with high-definition targeting and better graphic design.
The unspoken truth in all this is bleak but not especially complicated: strategically, Ukraine has already lost. So too — albeit less dramatically and more expensively — has Europe.
And for anyone paying attention, this wasn’t an unpredictable ending. It was the opening scene, played out exactly as the script always hinted it would. Viewed alongside the other glittering triumphs of Western statecraft — Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Syria — it raises the uncomfortable question: why does strategic failure keep happening and who keeps hiring these people?
At this point, a moderately alert housecat could have produced a more coherent grand strategy — if only by knocking the relevant documents off the table before they reached the Cabinet.
