NO EMPIRE IS ETERNAL: THE COMING COLLAPSE OF U.S.-ISRAELI HEGEMONY
By Vincent Lyn
Power blinds. The moment rulers lose sight of how absurd and detested they have become, their empire’s ruin is no longer a question of if, but when.
As Israel and the United States become indistinguishable — two faces of the same empire, two hands wielding the same bloody sword — the world itself begins to mirror Palestine: stateless nations, puppet governments, and entire populations ruled in the interests of Washington and Tel Aviv. The illusion of Israel’s independence is long gone; it has become an extension of American imperial power, a garrison state designed to crush resistance in the Middle East. And now, Trump seeks to finish what Netanyahu has long dreamed of: total conquest, total erasure, total domination.
Ethnic cleansing is no longer a whisper, no longer a covert agenda. It is declared openly, a policy objective spoken with the ease of ordering a meal. Trump, drunk on his own delusions of empire, promises Gaza as a gift to Israel, just as he handed them Syria’s Golan Heights. As Israel wages its second round of genocide in the occupied West Bank, completing its armed robbery of Palestine, the U.S. is there, not just watching — but cheering, funding, and arming.
The race for imperial conquest is no longer a shadow game; it is a brazen display of colonial hubris. Israel has always been a weapon, a forward base installed first by the British and now maintained by the U.S. and Europe to enforce their control over the Middle East. But now, as Israeli bombs rain down on Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran, Trump unveils his own imperial lust: to seize Canada, Greenland, Panama — his mouth foaming with the fever dream of empire, his every word a declaration of war.
Republican, Democrat — different names, same machine. The scarcity of resources, the crumbling of Western hegemony, and the rise of global resistance have made U.S. and Israeli military aggression more reckless, more desperate, more savage. They know only the language of brutality, the dialect of conquest. They believe that if they roar loud enough, the world will bow.
But history has never been kind to empires built on blood.
Trump and Netanyahu — vermin, the likes of cockroaches — scurrying in the shadows, thriving in decay, feasting on the corpses of the innocent. They mistake their own bloodlust for divine right, standing before the world with puffed chests, bellowing about the “roar of the Lion of Judah.” But the true lions of the Middle East — the nations, the movements, the people who have endured decades of occupation and massacre — are no longer silent prey. They have been stirred. And when they rise, it will not be in empty speeches or slogans, but in a storm of fire and resistance.
The U.S. and Israel believe themselves untouchable. They are not. Their power is not infinite. Their weapons are not invincible. Their alliances are not unbreakable. Hubris has convinced them they can set the region ablaze without consequence, that they can massacre without reprisal, that they can roar without expecting an echo. But the echo is coming. It will shake the very foundations of their empire.
For decades, Netanyahu has hidden behind Western protection, playing the eternal victim while unleashing indiscriminate violence upon those who resist his occupation. But no empire of oppression lasts forever. The day will come when these war criminals no longer dictate the fate of nations. And when it does, it will not be their voices that echo across the land.
It will be the deafening roar of those who refuse to be trampled.
