The Islander – Aug 1, 2026
The war is going so well!
Washington is now pulling its last forces out of the compound near Erbil airport in Iraqi Kurdistan. The Patriot batteries are already gone. The drawdown started last week and the heavy kit is still moving. Officials call it routine, just another step toward the September 30 deadline with Baghdad (the kinetic reality from losing this suicidal war with Iran says otherwise). The Kurds (useful tools of the Anglo zionist empire), who lived under that American umbrella for years, are left wide open. Erbil has been hit again and again since February. Those Patriots claimed a 95 percent intercept rate (continuous bombardment from Iran and friends has dispelled the myth). That cover is over.
This is not an isolated housekeeping exercise. It is the next chapter in debasification. Iran has spent months methodically working the map: first the bases closest to its own shores, then the radar nets, fuel farms, drone hangars, tankers and barracks. The American response has been the same every time — step backward. Kuwait’s Camp Arifjan sits roughly sixty miles from Iranian territory. Bahrain hosts the Fifth Fleet headquarters barely 130 miles away. Jordan’s bases have already taken casualties and direct hits. All of them have been under sustained missile and drone fire. The pattern is clear. What is happening in Erbil is simply the latest admission that the old forward basing model no longer works under Iranian range, resolve and volume.
There is no spinning the embarrassment. For two decades these Gulf and Levant bases were sold as the permanent architecture of American power. Now the Empire is rearranging the deck chairs under fire, quietly moving what it can toward Israel and deeper into Jordan while the Kurds watch the failed shield get loaded onto trucks. Iran does not need to occupy a single American base. It only needs to keep making the cost of staying higher than the cost of leaving. That process is already underway, and the map is shrinking.

The US in West Asia is on its way to becoming a remnant, like the Roman Empire in Britain. Like Hadrian’s Wall, where for a few years a tree had more fame.

Nope. They’re simply moving them to israhell.
Anyone dumdum enough to think otherwise ought to remember why they’re in eye-rack to begin with. Oil…
yes this could happen + zioUS only trust
will be nukes, not trust in god or fiatmoney.
“Bahrain hosts the Fifth Fleet headquarters” .. I know for a fact that the base in Bahrain was bombed early on in the shit show. I know for a fact that a bunch of the Americunt sodomites, er navy personnel, were literally shitting their pants when they faced hostile return fire for once. I know for a fact that some of their barracks were smoked. They not only withdrew and fell back, they retreated all the way back to f*cking Virginia for a while. So much for the mighty Jewnited States military….puffing their chests out when they’re killing innocent women and children, but pissing down both legs and running for their lives when someone actually hits back.
Support the Troops™ … by paying to have the shit stains scrubbed out of their trousers….or you can do a real service to your cuntry and tell them the cold hard truth that they’ve been fighting for The. Wrong. F*cking. Side.
If Iran can shove every Western power out of the Middle East — GOOD!
Especially true of US/UK — both have enough oil on their own and need no mess in Greater Israel to pay for.
Don’t look a gift horse, Keep in mind that during the Iran-Iraq War, the US and the UK took turns picking a side to make the war go on longer and weaken them. So they have a point, but I would not make a fetish of it.
