Surely, This can’t be correct.

It’s correct that his office says so and that he is working from abroad. But that is also all. He is one of the obvious candidates, but Trump claims to have previously discarded him. He is under the patronage of Israel though, and their favorite, so who knows.

Anyway, to lighten the mood in this dark thread, forget Israel. The real instigator and manipulator ? Kosovo
(yeah, Trump claimed he wants to attack Cuba next today, again correlates with Kosovo)

Lol, Medhurst is at it with his usual idiot poison. That anyone reads or listens to that creep still is beyond prepostrious.
He literally lies and lies and lies and lies and lies in the most malicious way possible, yet some people some how miss out on that.
He is a text book malicious propagandist. The word nuance ? It is not in his vocabulary.
He’s increasingly become more desperate ever since Assad fell.
Meh, same shit he has always parroted. Spinning facts and omitting facts and in the end, there are no facts. Or he lies.

WSJ being a bit late to the party, essentially saying what I have been saying on this thread.
MSM is slow, slow, slow during wars. It is why I don’t use MSM for geopolitical/conflict news and updates in the first place and why Twitter is necessary.

It sounds like it could end up descending into an asymmetric/guerilla type conflict with disparate cells doing their own thing.

They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t, in many cases. They have to corroborate and verify to the nth degree and if they get it wrong are slaughtered while idiots go , “aha, told you they were fake news all along”. Then they wait and end up reporting on news in a fast moving environment which means they’re basically regurgitating stuff that everyone knows already.
They should really have an Open Source expert that can sniff out disinfo and provide the commentary necessary in disseminating the information that comes out and release as close to real time as possible. I also use Twitter for these and also have a carefully curated number of accounts that I follow and I find this thread, and the Ukraine thread by far the most informative compiled source of accurate information out there thanks to yourself, @Magnus.
So if a small site like ours and various other forums around can have such detailed and accurate information shared in relative real time, a well funded MSM outlet should surely be able to have the same.

I don’t think that there’s somone who can state with specificity their reasons/objectives and strategy to achieve them, including Trump.
Which for this administration of inept, corrupt imbeciles is par for the course.
What pressure?
From my experience those clouds come from interceptions.

@Magnus seen some reports of multiple THAAD AN/TPY-2 Radars being destroyed. Four to be exact. Geolocated on the following tweet which was reposted by someone I follow:
Approximately $2.5 billion dollars in loss there not to mention a full third of all of these systems that are operational. Can you verify? If true, that’s a bit of a swipe to the nose right there.

Only 1 was confirmed yesterday, more were suspected (I read that thread yesterday and others).
That is from March 2 bombing, I think.
1 is certainly confirmed destroyed, by the US. (I have posed wreckage of it days ago I think). The 3 more are speculative at current.
We will know how many are destroyed soon.

Seems the operation in the Beeka valley during the night was relatively small in scale, to exhume the corpse of Ron Arad (go find wiki, if you don’t know who he is)
The fighting was here, at a cemetary.
Sort of a Hollywood style movie operation that would have been cool to watch in a cinema for many, except it is real and people die. But of course, the Israelis are extremely good at these special ops.
Due to the severity of events in the region, let us move on and not hyper focus on this like on that warship that was torpedoed.

Only reason I post this is just to point this out as I have said this days ago, and I will probably not mention what Pezeshkan says again in a while. It is rather irrelevant what Iran says officially these days (mostly, of course not entirely).
But seriously, what the fuck is this:
Absolutely psychopathic statement worse than recent IRGC statements. But this is the US president.
Also, almost none of what he claims in it is factual. But don’t laugh, this is policy, not just a social media rant.

If it was a film about a maniac despot it would be considered too far fetched.
I’m not as politically savvy as people on this thread, but this statement by Trump is an illustration of the world we live in.
We should despair.
