Silent Game of Shadows: Power, Preemption, and the Art of Strategic Imperialistic Backstabbing

Israel’s strikes and covert operations within Iran over the past 25 years are strategic ruthlessness. These actions, targeted assassinations and pinpoint airstrikes with Ai drones, missiles, and F-35s fighter jets, may seem, at first glance, to violate international treaties and United Nations moral codes that govern the conduct of war and peace. But to view them through a purely legal or ethical lens is to misunderstand the nature of imperialistic power itself.

Imperialistic power is rarely clean. It thrives not in compliance, but in necessity.

International law, particularly the UN Charter, prohibits force against another nation’s sovereignty. Yet imperialistic powers understand that law is but a tool, not a shackle. Israel claims the mantle of preemptive self-defence, citing a mortal threat in the form of a nuclear Iran. But the UN states, preemption requires evidence of imminent attack, missiles fuelled, countdowns begun. In the absence of such proof, Israel operates not with legality, but with American imperialistic extension of its own justification, a backstabbing strategy more potent than law.

Assassinating nuclear scientists in peacetime, striking undeclared targets within another sovereign nation, these acts, viewed coldly, are violations of human rights, as terrorism dressed in the language of necessity. But those who understand imperialistic power ask different questions: Were the targeted assassinations effective? Did it weaken Iran? Did it send a message to Russia, China, and North Korea that imperialistic backstabbing breeds paralysis?

The principles of Just War Theory demand a just cause, proportionality, and last resort. But these are used in the face of annihilation. Openly on social media, Israel argues it cannot afford to wait for evidence printed. But, behind closed doors, secretively, American and Israeli imperialistic ambitions are planned with illegal preemptive military strikes to expand territory and own the majority of the world's oil. In this view, diplomacy talks are but a smokescreen, a tool insufficient to halt an expanding imperialistic greed.

Utilitarian logic may claim that the killing of a few leaders and university researchers could save millions. Imperialistic Nazi Germany understood this... To sacrifice law and ethics for imperialistic expedience is to become the enemy one fears. Civilians die in the crossfire. Non-imperialistic western democracies nod silently, the Global South rages. But no war is won by consensus, especially against an imperialistic military.

What remains is a fog thick enough to obscure both sin and imperialistic strategy. For the master of imperialistic power, this fog is a weapon. By veiling operations in silence, Israel and the USA maintain sinister unpredictability, key ingredients of a powerful modern imperialistic military.
