I was listening to the show from last night, and I don't understand something that TFM was saying: I don't understand the logical leap made from what is currently happening to BRICS will fall to the West.
If I understand correctly (correct me if I'm wrong), because Russia hasn't dropped the hammer on Ukraine and because the western media is talking openly about tactical nukes and how Iran is smart for not attacking Israel, therefore the non-west will not retaliate and surrender.
Furthermore, why does it matter what the media is saying, even if the media is an accurate reflection of the Regime's thoughts on the state of the world?
They're effectively a wife telling her friends that she wears the pants in the relationship. Who cares what she says? Who pays the bills in this analogy: Who still has the economic and strategic advantage right now? BRICS.
I hope someone can explain this because I don't know what I'm missing with why TFM took this angle.
It came across to me as a combination of petulance and "you didn't listen to me and now it's all ruined so you're just cowardly cucks." As if calling them chicken will provoke them into action.
I'm on board with most of his geopolitical descriptions, i.e. that this is in some fundamental sense a war of American empire vs BRICS, a resource war in other words, but in my opinion his atheism also makes him blind to an entire class of analysis based in metaphysics, ethics and ontology.

Given these countries' behaviors, it seems they do not feel compelled to act with haste, which makes sense. They do not seem to emotionally expect or need the "touchdown", "knockout punch" victory.
Even if Russia and Iran know that nuclear war is on the horizon, since time is on their side, why would they not continue to bleed the Regime? What have they to gain by striking now?
Mostly nothing, except as TFM puts it, the appearance of "cucking" in the West's eyes as their respective red lines are continually crossed.
Yes, weakness does indeed invite aggression, but that only holds IFF the West genuinely believes that the BRICS alliance is weaker.
If we cannot provoke them into a war then the true test will be the expected false flags that we deploy to force a fight. Out "leaders" are out of time & resources and thus desperate for any legitimate casus belli.
@UncleIroh I'm happy to see someone use IFF correctly.
