(en) Italy, UCADI, #198 - Trump and his proxies (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Sun, 10 Aug 2025 06:50:46 +0300


With hasty superficiality, Trump's foreign policy on Ukraine and the Middle East has been defined as a failure: his promise to put an end to both conflicts in a short period of time has failed. Putin and Netanyahu would have succeeded in imposing their choices and their times. What is happening raises the doubt that this is not the case at all and that the much-maligned TACO (Trump Always Chicken Out) is the one who is dealing the cards. In other words, Trump is a coward, someone who backs down in the face of difficulties, who announces duties and then withdraws them at the first retaliation; a coward. It is worth reflecting on the dynamics and characteristics of both the "Spider's web" operation carried out by the Ukrainians, and the "Rising Lion" operation to attack Iran. If we look closely, the points of contact, the methods of execution, a set of characteristics, and above all the effects, they definitely have many points in common, even though the American president claims to be extraneous to their execution.
The truth is different Trump is a liar who lies knowing he is lying, one who strikes and hides his hand, who conducts foreign policy in the United States with unprecedented unscrupulousness, having learned and internalized the use of proxies, no more and no less than other actors on the international level have done for years. While other states have given life to guerrilla movements, have fueled political parties, have formed fifth columns within the states they intended to destabilize, the United States and its allies used different operational methods of destabilization: there are countless guerrilla movements organized in Latin America and Africa and lavishly financed, but they know about organized and supported coups d'état, the so-called orange revolutions are well known, which even recently have brightened the democratic life of European states, making themselves standard-bearers of the values of Western democracy.
This varied arsenal is composed of instruments of international and power politics and has recently been enriched by two further refined instruments constituted by the aforementioned operations which, upon closer inspection, present similar characteristics and in fact use the same operational instruments to achieve their purpose, which is to support the official action of the State, its international policy, with hybrid instruments of pressure that are part of the arsenal of asymmetric warfare conducted with unscrupulousness by States as a substitute element to their power politics.

The latest of this operation in chronological order, conducted however still with traditional methods, was constituted by the action carried out by Turkey which supported and fomented the guerrilla movements operating in Syrian territory, supporting them to the point of producing the necessary critical mass of power to overthrow the Assad regime, also thanks to the betrayal of the military leaders, the weariness of the populations, the change in the balance of power at an international level and the weakening of Russian support for the Syrian regime, directly and primarily involved in the war in Ukraine.

Operation "Spider's Web"

Operation "Spider's Web" carried out by the Ukrainian secret services undoubtedly represents a qualitative leap in the operational capacity of a secret service engaged in hybrid warfare against a nuclear superpower. While the client of the war, the United States, conducted an action of apparent mediation between the parties aimed at resolving the conflict, although they were the main actors and clients of the war action, long prepared with the events of Maidan Square and an orange insurrection, the secret services of the vassal state, developed a terrorist action that targeted the strategic bombers that are part of the nuclear response triad of the Russian superpower.
The action was prepared through an infiltration operation in enemy territory, the use of offensive weapons, drones, which due to their versatility can be used as tools of a terrorist action, but at high intensity. The aim of the operation is to demonstrate to the enemy the unpredictability of war action, the impossibility of containing and controlling the enemy's initiative, which acts with a wild variable, without placing any limit on the consequences of its own action, demonstrating that the desperation resulting from defeat on the battlefield of a traditional war, places it in the condition of having nothing to lose and of not placing any limits on its action, with the threat, not even so veiled, of lasting over time, regardless of the persistence of the conflict between States. The message that the operation "Spider's web" intends to convey is that even if Ukraine is defeated on the battlefield, as long as it exists as a political entity, it will always be able to conduct aggressive actions against Russia, threatening its integrity and social peace, with a war without quarter, in time and space.
It is therefore appropriate that at the negotiating table Russia comes to a more moderate opinion, accepting the mediation of Trump, who at the negotiating table offers himself as the only guarantor capable of keeping his proxy at bay. But to do so he needs to be able to offer a compromise solution to the conflict.
While at the negotiating table the Americans appear quiescent, they are in fact leaving to the English and the Ukrainians, or rather to their proxies, the task of carrying out and developing the counteraction necessary to bend the enemy to the negotiation. This explains what Trump says and does not say when he refers to the operation carried out by the Ukrainians, which he claims to be unaware of, while it is not credible that this occurred without the knowledge and approval of the US secret services and himself.

Operation "Rising Lion"

A closer look at Operation "Rising Lion" shows the same characteristics. Conceived as a terrorist action, it uses the Israeli proxy as an agent, which uses infiltration into the enemy camp through the organization of sabotage actions, targeted killings, destabilization of air defense structures, information on targets, weakening of warning systems and uses force and direct military intervention as a conclusive action and operational seal of the terrorist action implemented, which has prevention and dissuasive purposes.
Even in this case, apparently, the instigator, the United States, appears to be unaware of everything, even offering themselves as mediators between the parties, only to then define the action carried out as excellent, after the fact. In this case, the respective roles of the proxies and the instigator are exposed and evident, because already while the attack is underway the United States offers Iran to resume the negotiations in progress, interrupted by the war action, openly declaring that this will prevent them from suffering greater and more serious damage from the hybrid war action carried out against them, moreover clearly supported by the military action of support developed during the Israeli war actions against Iran by the United States and its allies, moved by the sense of guilt towards Israel, to which the name of the holocaust perpetrated against the Jews, everything is forgiven, including the genocide against the inhabitants of Gaza as well as the Palestinians. In reality, the reasons for the support of Israel by the United States are constituted by the deep economic ties that bind the two States, by the strategic role played by Israel in guarding an area whose control is essential to perpetuate the imperial role of the United States.

The two scenarios

The answer to what has happened and is happening is not yet clear, because the events are too recent, but if as regards the war in Ukraine a first Russian response comes from the battlefield, where the army of the Federation continues to advance like an inexorable steamroller, it has opened a further front in the province of Sumy, threatens to lay siege to the city and, bypassing it, to descend into the new direction of operations up to the Dnipro, cutting Ukraine in two. The Donbass front is on the verge of collapse, ?????????????, besieged from three directions is on the verge of falling and this would determine the general retreat of the front. The attack on Kramators'k and Sloviansk is not far away. These successes on the battlefield explain the reasons for Ukraine's recourse to terrorism which risks producing a reaction from Russia as a response. There are those who hypothesize in the future the physical elimination, through a hybrid and no-holds-barred war, of the Ukrainian secret service cells, which would have the effect of producing an endemic war, projected in time, which risks constituting a characteristic trait of the living conditions of the European peoples as it directly involves them. In other words, the war on the ground in Ukraine may also end with an armistice and a peace but the nationalists Ukrainians will be eliminated one by one by Russian anti-terrorism and in turn will lead a war without quarter that will bloody the regions of Europe and the world for years to come.
The scenario that emerges with regard to the confrontation between Israel and Iran is not very different. Israel's choice to aim for a subversion of the political regime in force in Iran, supported by Israeli weapons, appears completely unrealistic and destined to fail, and does not constitute the "final solution" to the problem, however much it may count on fifth columns hypothetically present in the country. Israel's intervention now comes too late and not so much with respect to the Iranian project, completely hypothetical to equip itself with a nuclear weapon, but in light of the capacity matured by the Iranian military apparatus to defend itself, even if with armaments that exclude the use of nuclear weapons. The bombings with conventional weapons such as ballistic missiles, promptly obscured by the Israeli government with regard to their devastating effects, have demonstrated that Iran has matured the capacity to saturate the Israeli defense system by penetrating it and producing significant destruction and not a few victims among the population. The ability to sustain a constant and destructive war has emerged clearly, difficult for Israel to sustain both for the cost it entails but even more for the constant threat it represents. As much as Israel may plan to build a greater Israel, Iran is a country of 90 million inhabitants, with an immense territory, especially if compared to that of Israel, and therefore the solution to the problems lies only in peaceful coexistence and in the search for a coexistence agreement that simultaneously protects the rights of all the peoples of the region. The inalienable rights of the Palestinian people are inescapable: if one does not want to accept the idea of the existence of two States and two peoples that divide the territory on which to live, the only other solution is to create an inter-confessional entity that allows all the inhabitants of the region to live peacefully. But this would be the end of Zionism as a political doctrine and as an aspiration of Jewish nationalism and at the same time It would force Muslims to review their vision of peaceful coexistence and religious freedom, perhaps returning to the Millet system, as in the times of the Ottoman Empire or at the origin of the Jewish state. On the current basis, the objective of the American administration seems to be to manage a modus operandi between the parties involving Putin's Russia as a guarantee, as an ally of Iran but at the same time holder of a special, historical relationship with the Israeli state, thereby legitimizing the role of manager of a multipolar balance of Russia, to the detriment and discreet of the role of Europe, considered a bunch of foolish servants, devoid of any subjectivity and ability to represent their own interests. It is useless to note that the one who is humiliated by this crisis is the EU in the person of Ursula fon der Stupid and the idiot Kaia Kallas who have once again demonstrated their substantial inconsistency.
