Neocon Robert Kagan: U.S. should “engage in a full-scale ground and naval war to remove the current Iranian regime, and then to occupy Iran until a new government can take hold.”

May 11, 2026/9 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Mark Wauck: Kagan’s Game: Setting Up Nuclear War?

Thinking more about Robert Kagan’s article in The Atlantic (Everybody’s Talkin’ ‘Bout It), I come back to Kagan’s solution for remedying the crushing defeat the Anglo-Zionists have suffered—so far—in the war on Iran. Arnaud Bertrand quotes Kagan:

He writes that what’s to be done is “engage in a full-scale ground and naval war to remove the current Iranian regime, and then to occupy Iran until a new government can take hold.”

This is very obviously not any sort of a solution. It’s not possible that it is advanced in good faith. Kagan himself writes:

“just a few weeks of war with a second-rank power have reduced American weapons stocks to perilously low levels, with no quick remedy in sight.”

“if the United States with its mighty Navy can’t or won’t open the strait, no coalition of forces with just a fraction of the Americans’ capability will be able to, either.”

Given those realities that even Kagan recognizes, there’s no possible way to accomplish the goal of “remov[ing] the current Iranian regime and occupying Iran until a new government can take hold”—not by conventional military means. So why, then, does Kagan call for more of what has so signally failed?

My argument is that Kagan paints the current situation as black as possible for the American Empire—plausibly enough—to convince the political establishment that their only choice is to go all in against Iran. Everyone knows that will result in failure and significant casualties. That’s exactly what Kagan wants, because he believes that that will allow Jewish Nationalists to sell nuclear war on Iran to the American people. In effect, his article is a call to Jewish Nationalists to redouble their lobbying of the American political class, because the best way to get to where he wants this to go is to get a declaration of war. Trump is on weak constitutional ground when it comes to restarting the war, short of that declaration. A “full-scale ground and naval war to remove the current Iranian regime”, realistically, will require a full-scale declaration of war. And that will open the way to nuclear strikes.

    Unz.c*m/runz/will-america-be-expelled-from-the-middle-east/

    I think I’m the only one left at Unz Review who believes that no Gentile can defeat the Jewish people. Regarding Iran, it seems to me that the White House Likuds are waiting for the Midterm elections to be over, and then after that, they will send perhaps one million Gentiles soldiers into Iran to fight to overthrow the government. Perhaps hundreds of thousands, maybe a million, Gentiles will die, but mathematically speaking, there are 400 million American Gentiles, so they can easily be restocked. In fact, I even think that after the Mid-Term elections, the White House Likuds may use nuclear weapons in Iran.

    I don’t think people here understand just how genetically deteriorated the Gentiles are. Let’s give an example. Hollywood movies and shows are cultural “poison,” so they should not even be allowed to exist in the first place. But, Gentiles, including me, have become addicted to their products. For me, I watch old things, like from the eighties, nineties, and early 2000s. But, I never pay for it – I have a DVD collection – a permanent collection of the old stuff that will last me until I hopefully soon die.

    But, Hollywood, which is owned by the Jewish people, decided that in order to make even more money, eliminated DVDS, and now require every Gentile to purchase a monthly subscription to watch movies and shows on streaming channels. The Jewish people stopped making DVDs. Not only that, but the Jewish people have, this year, shut down all the websites that were streaming Hollywood movies and shows without permission from the Jewish people.

    So, if the Gentiles were still genetically healthy to certain degree, they would all unite and boycott all Hollywood products until the Jewish people stopped being so greedy. Imagine if all the world’s Gentiles united and ended their subscription to Netflix, Paramount, and all the other streaming services, and stopped going to movie theaters. Jewish Hollywood would go out of business in one month. But because the Gentiles are all 100% genetically deteriorated to the point of being completely intellectually retarded and emotionally sociopathic, they no longer have the ability to unite to boycott Hollywood.

    Hollywood creates an anti-Flynn Effect, but I have yet to be able to end my addiction to old Hollywood products. I am hoping to accomplish this very soon. I think that once a movie or show is ten years old, it should become publicly owned, allowing anyone to watch them for free,or upload them to streaming websites where people can watch them for free. But the greedy Hollywood Jewish people does not agree, and the Gentiles, being the metaphorical equivalent to baboons, don’t have the genetic ability to unite and boycott Hollywood.

    Only genetically “weak” people like me watch these shows to begin with. We Gentiles should create a culture that is so enriching that we don’t need fake fiction Hollywood products to fulfill us. But we can’t because we have genetically de-evolved back into monkeys. We are no match for the Evolutionary Glorious Jewish People.

    But, even though the Jewish people will liquidate all the Gentiles, including the entire populations of Russia, China, and North Korea, they still have to face the Laws of Physics. The Sun will turn into a red giant and engulf Earth. But even before that, there are many physical processes that will make Earth uninhabitable by organic life. The Jewish people will have to take control of the Laws of Physics, make the Laws of Physics their “bitches.” The Laws of Physics are extremely Anti-Semitic, working day and night to end the Jewish people.

    The Atlantic magazine is yet another Jew Propaganda source, having abandoned long ago its “liberal” and anti-war positions.

    It is time for prohibitions on Publications/Media that are substantially owned by Jews, or other ethnic/nationalist groups way out of proportion to their ethnic, national, or religious numbers.

    What we have now is a Jewish headlock on Free Speech. Jew Money is the mothers milk of corruption in Speech activity.
    The best country, etc. that money can buy is ours.

    Speaking of Jewish monopolistic control of Speech, even Jeffrey Sachs is running his mouth on the Ukraine war. His latest drone job I just saw, goes on and on about Schroeder’s dangerous traction/affiliation with Putin/Russia on yes, fundamentally getting the Nordsream pipeline going again, which is the subtext but not explicitly and honestly stated in his rant. Imagine, Russia and Germany in cahoots threatening the mad dog capitalist West. What a disaster for us real Westerners. Russia, Iran, Germany, and China….wartime for Sachs ,and a jew war he could get behind.

    We see more and more gains in Europe for anti-immigration political parties. Just asking, but how is Sachs’ ultra-democratic position on Muslims. Do they have the abstract right of colonization of Europe? Of course, they are human beings. Like Tucker Carlson….they are all children of god and entitled to my and your White money and Women, just like the niggers, etc.

    Yes, says this YouTuber, Churchill may have been a corrupt scoundrel, but driving fascism off the continent was an unavoidable necessity in order to establish Anglo-Saxon rule under “liberal democracy.” Who could possibly doubt him, when we all know from our own personal experiences just what this so-called “inalienable freedom” really means!

    I would rather live in Japan than in (homogeneous) Poland or (heterogeneous) France. (Not to mention “America.”) Japan is an island nation like Britain, but culturally very different. Deep down, the Japanese and Germans care deeply about one another. The Japanese love German music; the Germans love Japanese frugality.

    https://www.amren.com/news/2026/05/in-praise-of-homogeneity/

    30 years ago, I met a friendly Japanese man at a youth hostel. I brusquely rejected his attempt to hold us Germans in high esteem, as I harbored a hostile attitude toward our shared past due to Allied propaganda. An experience for which I am still deeply ashamed today. A hostile ideology had forbidden me from taking his hand.

    I am currently working on a comprehensive compilation of all the “Anglo-American” organizations that sought to prevent and undermine Germany’s rise as early as 130 years ago. As expected, we repeatedly find a massive concentration of the “usual suspects” in this list.

    It likely began with the “Great Rapprochement” and the “Pilgrims Society,” which (along with countless other similar organizations) led to today’s “Council on Foreign Relations.” And guess who presides over it? Unless you’re completely clueless, you’ve already figured it out!

    Kagan and his Jewish wife are deep state globalist war enthusiasts.

    You were wise to call his statements not made in good faith.

    Posts claiming that the Gentiles are already defeated and conquered; expressing crazy, ridiculous and unproven claims about Jews; and advocating violence against them, might just as well be controlled opposition, and in some cases probably are precisely that.

    “Everyone knows that will result in failure and significant casualties. That’s exactly what Kagan wants, because he believes that that will allow Jewish Nationalists to sell nuclear war on Iran to the American people.”

    Well, yes, but more fundamentally, Kagan and his tribe simply love the idea of “significant casualties” among the goyim in and of itself, as in Ukraine. A war with Iran adds in Muslim casualties as a bonus. So it’s win/win for the Tribe, as usual.
