Democracy USA vs. Europe
DBK: Some questions are important for people who are not very economically savvy. Not everyone has studied economics and has comprehensive knowledge about the impacts of conflicts in the Middle East.
We asked Jogy Thomas Wolfmeyer to go into the crisis a bit more precisely, and he insisted that we first look at American democracy. That’s why this report begins with an analysis of America.
If we compare European democracies with America’s view of democracy, we see in the American electoral system more of a monarchy for a term. For 4 years, the party that gets a majority rules, and there is no division of power or control over the government as in Europe. Right now, Americans are becoming aware that any control has failed and they are unable to stop the processes in the USA.
In Europe, a government only exists with an absolute majority from the power of one party. Europeans know how dangerous this can be, which is why the electorate makes such a decision very rarely.
As a rule, a government in Europe consists of a coalition where 2 or more parties have to agree on a government. This has the advantage that there is no sole rule for a term, and coalition partners can leave the government to force new elections.
In the USA, removing the government is only possible after 4 years have passed, and until then, the monarchs have time to leave a bad economy for the next government so that the next government cannot make decisive changes but is busy repairing the measures of the previous government. A good example is Obama Care.
Introduced by Obama in 2014, it was weakened by Trump in 2017 and then fully reintroduced by Biden in 2021. Trump is letting the aids expire again by the end of 2025 (weakening).
So it’s a clown circus between two parties that don’t grant the other party any successes. It’s no longer about the citizens, but about how to harm the other party.

The financing of election campaigns is also not permitted in this form in Europe. In the American election campaign, open lobbying is evident, which is strictly forbidden in Europe. Anyone in Europe who is paid by lobbyists has to expect a conviction in some cases if they align their policy in favor of lobbyists. In America, lobbying can be openly practiced as a politician. Trump receives gold in abundance, like a monarch whose feet are kissed by the money nobility in the country. Unthinkable in Europe.
I have already explained in another report why Israel is also not a democracy in the European sense, and therefore I make it clear here with America as well that, according to European understanding, it does not represent a proper democracy.
The escaped Europeans settled the USA before the Enlightenment (early phase approx. 1650–1700, high phase approx. 1700–1789, late phase approx. 1789–1800, French Revolution) was really in full swing in Europe, which is why America is far behind Europe in the entire development (philosophy and Enlightenment is taught in Europe from the 5th grade, in the USA this subject does not exist at all and if so only in individual universities). For example, we see that initiatives to preserve human rights and condemn war crimes always originate from Europe. All important organizations in this regard are based in Europe. But that would be another long topic that one would have to devote oneself to specifically, how to explain America’s hostility towards basic philosophy.

Let’s get to the actual topic „War in Iran“
I just saw a poll where 100% of the MAGA movement stands behind the war against Iran. The right-wing media are currently pouncing on this study, which is actually completely irrelevant, because questioning supporters of extremists and their henchmen will rarely lead to a different result.
But let’s now give these 100% an insight into the consequences of this war.
Or if I should give an example: „Why it is unwise as a drug addict to shoot your dealer“
Iran sits in the middle of the Middle East surrounded by Arab countries known for their oil. A resource that is still used in everyday life today to produce plastic, gasoline, natural gas, and road tar.
A number for the MAGAs so you can better understand the economic performance of the USA. Imports 14% Exports 10.9% states a 56% import rate, while exports are only 44%.
A tariff on goods would therefore only make sense if this ratio is exactly reversed, as otherwise it has a negative impact on one’s own economy. In addition, tariffs always harm the countries themselves and never the exporter.
Goods also depend on sea routes when these products enter the country. If the price of oil rises, the effects of imports are usually still 50% higher than production costs due to higher transport costs. Thus, these goods will become about 150% more expensive even without tariffs. If we then add, say, 20% tariff, that’s already 170% higher costs.
Domestic products also rise by about 40% in costs, which fuels inflation in the USA and forces the FED to react in a short time. What inflation means for Maga explained briefly: The currency loses value.
So in addition to the oil price increase, there is another factor, inflation, which also drives prices further up. If inflation gets out of control due to the collapse of supply chains, hyperinflation arises from it. The FED can no longer stop the price spiral through measures, and the dollar collapses.
Now to reality dear MAGA, if you don’t have any valuable metals in your safe, things look bad for you now, because your paper money will be withdrawn by the Federal Reserve and you will get a food voucher instead. You can exchange this food voucher in a shop for food and for other goods like soap and toilet paper.
All American securities are also just pure paper without any value and will not be able to pay bills.
The Federal Reserve is now trying to stabilize the situation while continuing to issue vouchers. Only when the economic situation is stable again can the Federal Reserve begin to print a new currency, possibly „American Taler“. The dollar is history!

Impact of the war in Iran comes at the same time: (Internal collapse)
All US bases worldwide must be abandoned by the USA in a few days, and the costs of these bases remain as debt in the US debt level.
Any military operations now run through allies, as the USA no longer has any military capacities. So whoever wants to take the USA has conquered the USA in 10 days.

Why this war cannot be won by the USA:
Iran is surrounded by mountains and a desert. Ground troops would only be alive for a few days if the USA decides to land there. The USA would need several million soldiers to even advance to the center, but drones would already take out most soldiers and equipment upon arrival, so there is a very low chance of even deploying troops and military equipment there.
What we have already seen is that all American military bases have been destroyed or so demolished that support from surrounding military bases is not possible. A warship in the immediate vicinity would also be threatened by missiles that only need a short time to take out this target.
Factually, only an attack with fighter planes remains, which cannot identify clear targets without risking being shot down from the sky.

Iran can play for time while the USA is constantly under offensive compulsion and Iran only has to react to a threat. There are also no surprise effects anymore in the middle of the war, as the opponent has to reckon with all variations and thus prepare for eventualities. In addition, the surprise effect only exists before a war breaks out and not in the middle of a war.
The USA has already suffered more financial damage than Iran when it comes to the economies of the countries. Iran has made all American bases unusable or destroyed. I have already listed the costs for this, and there is a very low chance for the USA to put these bases back into operation, as the countries where these bases were stationed became more of a target for attack than they brought advantages.

The reputation of the USA in the Middle East as a world power able to protect other countries has been history since February 28, 2026. If the USA ends the war now, it would still get away with a black eye.
As it looks, the USA does not want to admit defeat until the first 100,000 coffins arrive in the USA and the population takes to the streets to end this senseless war.
The US government still has the chance not to suffer the impending losses at all and to accept that no agreements or understandings can be reached on a military level that do not turn the entire Gulf region against America.
The more damage Iran inflicts on the Israeli and American military, the more the Arab countries will become aware of who can really protect them, and countries will turn to Iran and not away from him. Everyone prefers to stand on the side of a winner rather than on the side of a loser. In other words, the global economic shift would dissolve all agreements achieved so far if the USA and Israel blow themselves up through an ill-considered attack.
I know the goals that Israel and the USA are pursuing with the attacks like probably no one else, but presumably they don’t know themselves either.

Israel USA AI Propaganda:
Anyone who has followed the war in Gaza and the West Bank has already noticed that the media report exclusively from the Israeli perspective and the Israeli government keeps all journalists away from Israel. Also in the war against Iran, no recordings of damage to Israel’s infrastructure may be shown in Western media or made public. Anyone who spreads videos of damage in Israel on social media has to expect a prison sentence of up to 5 years.
However, the right-wing radical Israeli government has already shut down all liberal and left-wing media before the Gaza and Iran war and only allowed media that let their reporting be dictated.
The same is currently being tried by Trump in America so that he can also bring the reporting under his control.
At the front, soldiers used to be cut off from the media, which is why the commander here only passed on information to the soldiers that prevented mutiny. Due to the constant availability of social media and news via mobile phones, filtering of information is no longer possible. A special radio station, as in Vietnam (even a film deals with this radio station from back then „Good Morning Vietnam“), is no longer necessary or possible. Censorship can now only be achieved through control of the entire media landscape, and we see how obediently even most European media play along with the censorship here.
Motivation is now provided via AI videos that present a distorted picture of reality and merely aim at a hero myth – We are the good guys, everyone else is bad.

Especially in lower education layers, such entertaining but unrealistic AI animations find grateful recipients. These people often also lack reference to the history of a country or reference to their real living conditions. We only did the bad guys – has never been possible in war, because in the Gaza war soldiers shot at unarmed civilians who also had no bunkers to hide in.
Incredibly, 80% of Israelis approve of the systematic extermination of Palestinians, which can only be explained by the fact that the controlled media in Israel have spread a narrative that contributed to this hatred.
Western media today defend a dictatorial regime and at the same time want us to hate another dictatorial regime. If we in Europe were pursuing the same goals as the USA and Israel, we would have long had to march into both countries to liberate the Israelis and Americans from dictators. But since we in Europe largely live in democracies, we do not interfere in the politics of other countries as long as they are not a threat to us.
The threat from Iran is a story invented by the Israeli government. Iran is a large country with completely different goals than to give any significance to a dwarf on its continent. Why should Iran attack Israel at all if it is not an existential threat to it. Much more it is Israel that is becoming more and more of a threat in the Middle East through attacks on other countries. Probably that’s exactly the point.
The Israeli Zionists have an agenda that provides for the conquest of the Middle East and making them rulers over the Middle East (Great Israel Project). At least that’s how it is written in the works of the important Zionists.
As long as the states that are to fall victim to the great goal had a strong partner, the goals could not be realized. But what would Jordan or Egypt do if Israel suddenly got the idea that it wants to take more land? Which countries would come to their aid?
Europe will not participate in an action violating international law and relies on diplomacy, which is why Europe is not a target for Iran. If Israel now tries to drag the Europeans into this war, then Netanyahu and their despotic government have never heard of the Enlightenment. We live in Europe in a civilization and not in the Stone Age where one hits other people on the head with clubs.
Israel has never arrived in a modern democracy but behaves as it accuses the opposing side of doing.
Iran has not attacked Europe but only hits American military installations that represent a potential threat to it. Iran will not launch an attack on Europe as long as the Europeans do not interfere in this war. So it is only Israeli propaganda to drag Europe into the war, and the secret services of every country should be particularly vigilant due to possible false flag attacks by Israel on Europe.
Don’t give Israeli propaganda in Europe a chance!
