Iran’s collapse isn’t just about sanctions — it’s corruption

Plus, an unheard-of generosity for bribing agents and informants. And note, Israeli operatives did not steal this money on the way to their destination.

As a result, in the very first days of Israel's attack on Iran, the entire military leadership was killed - both the army and the IRGC. All key figures in the Iranian nuclear program were physically destroyed. All the heads of all intelligence. The entire leadership of the air force.

The Chief of the General Staff of Iran was also killed on the very first day. A new one was immediately appointed to replace him - but even the new one was eliminated within three days. This is the first and so far the only precedent in world history: the elimination of the Chief of the General Staff during the war. And then another one. And the shortest career in history of the Chief of the General Staff.

In total, 30 generals were killed in 12 days of the war. And this is another world record.

That is, thanks to corruption, every napkin, every gadget and every button on every jacket in Iran was impregnated by Israeli agents.

We all know about corruption in modern Ukraine. Especially in the highest echelons of power. They are already reaching the deputy prime ministers. Fedorov, are you sleeping? It seems that NABU does not arrest the Prime Minister and the President only so as not to paralyze the governance of the country during the war.

Army and technology

Money for the Iranian army has been embezzled for years and mercilessly. And when the army was needed, it turned out that it was essentially nonexistent, just an empty shell. Tiny Israel took out the Iranian army "in one gate" in a few days, as they say. American GBU-57s with Tomahawks only finished off the Iranian nuclear program.

We all remember how the Ukrainian army has been collapsing since 2019.

Do we remember? "Army of drones", then "Wall of drones", "Mobilization of 500 thousand - I see no reason", "3 thousand Ukrainian missiles" - where is all this?

Israel's absolute superiority in the sky, one and a half thousand kilometers from the country's border - it is impressive. On the first day, all Iranian air defense and all air forces were destroyed. In the sky over the Islamic republic, not only fighters, but also fat slow transports flew freely. Of course, all kinds of drones. All this immediately destroyed any remnants of resistance on the ground.

Let me remind you that in Ukraine, since 2019, the curtailment of all technological developments for the Armed Forces began. Instead, demining, troop withdrawal, road construction, and other "big theft" were carried out. But even on current emergency developments, they steal "as if there were no tomorrow."

At the same time, Israel's three-level air defense system - "Iron Dome", Arrow-3, TAAD - allowed it to withstand supermassive attacks by Iran on densely populated areas of large cities of Israel very well. More than 400 ballistic missiles were launched by Iran, several of which reached the target, killing 28 civilians, and not a single military target was hit. That is, the defense worked perfectly.

Ukraine in 2019, after 5 years of war against Russia, was not prepared to repel massive air attacks — even knowing exactly about the enemy’s forces and means. And it was even less prepared in 2022.

Instead, the country’s top officials assured citizens that foreign media and allied intelligence were “intimidating investors,” that they were “worse than Skabeeva,” and generally recommended preparing for the May kebabs.

Communications

Israeli communications are generally something fantastic for modern Ukraine. Millions of views of the IDF spokesman on Instagram — and in Farsi, the native language of Iranians. Early warnings to Tehran residents with a recommendation to leave the city in advance. “Knocking on the roof” is generally an ancient Israeli invention.

The rear service is an undisputed authority in Israel, everyone follows its instructions. Probably because everyone serves in the army, and the children of ministers too.

This is the "unity of society". And not what is in your "single marathon"

And the main thing: it turns out that it is very cool to knock out the teeth of the bloody regime of cannibals by force. Not by diplomacy, not by sanctions, not by deep concern - just by giving the scumbags a full swing in the face, and finishing them off with a side kick in the jaw. So that there are bloody splashes, so that the brains are on the wall. That's what they understand. That's how they immediately behave politely and agree to reasonable proposals.

All those long years while the USA and everyone else were afraid of the "great and terrible Iran", which was the "axis of evil" for the Middle East and the whole world with their ballistic missiles - in fact they were afraid of a painted scarecrow. Which very frighteningly waved its rags and rattled tin cans. Even movies and TV series were made about the catastrophic proximity of the US war with Iran. And it turned out that there was nothing to be afraid of.

Israel won not only because of many years of multi-billion dollar support from the US – but also because it has a public allergy to corruption. And it is a democracy.

Unlike Evil.

And it is impossible — and there is no point — to negotiate with Evil.

Only destroy.
