The New Atlas | US preparing for more strikes on Iran: using "Leave it to Bibi" to pass the blame | Oct. 22, 2026

Source: The New Atlas youtube



Description:
- The Western media is once again attempting to sell the notion that Israel, not the US, is pushing for war with Iran and bringing a "reluctant" US along unwillingly;

- This is a deliberate policy published in papers as early as 2009 discussing the use of US proxy Israel to start a war with Iran and ultimately absorb most of the blame and retaliation for doing so;

- The US has repeatedly used this strategy under the previous Biden and now Trump administrations - and even repeatedly under the current Trump administration;

- The notion the US is planning strikes on Iran around "elections" is betrayed by the material reality elections do not effect US foreign policy and especially not policy regarding Iran - as continuity of agenda has continued against Iran for 26 straight years regardless of who controlled Congress or sat in the White House;

- And no, just because Israel is a proxy of the US doesn't mean it is not just as guilty as the US itself for the crimes its government, military, intelligence services, and their civilian supporters commit as proxies of US power;

The New Atlas | Canada Doubles Down on US Servitude; Saudi Crisis Hurts, Not Helps Multipolarism | Sept. 16, 2026

Description:
While Canada poses as “reducing dependence on the US” it has actually doubled down on subordination and servitude to the US by expanding its commitment to the US proxy war on Russia in Ukraine.

The political circus created between Canada and US President Donald Trump was designed specifically to create an emotional override compelling Canadians to rally around their Prime Minister and his policies without realizing they were US policies.

While Saudi Arabia is a US proxy, the crisis slowly destroying it serves US interests, not hinders them.

The destruction of Saudi energy export infrastructure hurts Asia and China first and foremost and is a key part of US objectives amid its war of aggression on Iran and its wider war on multipolarism.

The New Atlas | How the US Destruction of the INF Treaty Backfired | Sept. 3, 2026

Description:
While the US has lofty plans to eventually outproduce Russia in terms of the many munitions and launch systems previously prohibited by the INF treaty, it remains to be seen whether or not the US has the ability to put these plans into action and whether or not Russia can continue to meet or exceed US military industrial production in the process. So far, it would appear that the US decision to unilaterally withdraw from its arms control treaties with Russia has backfired.

The New Atlas | US Shell Factory Exposed: Why US For-Profit Industry Can't Compete with Russian/Chinese Production | Aug. 13, 2026

The US had set the target of manufacturing 100,000 155 mm artillery shells every month by the end of 2025.

Instead, it has failed to reach even half this target.

This is in part due to an entire General Dynamics factory that failed to make a single usable shell component in 2 years and after receiving hundreds of millions of dollars to do so.

Far from just an issue with artillery shells, US military industrial production is being held back by systemic flaws rooted in the for-profit nature of the US government and economy itself - siphoning off billions (if not trillions) of tax dollars and not only returning nothing of value for the American public - but diverting funding abroad on wars of aggression at the expense of funding healthcare, education, and infrastructure at home.

This reveals US for-profit industry as the very threat in reality to the American people, industry and the politicians they own, claim Russia, China, and Iran are in fiction.
